Military me this, order me around that

I've been thinking a lot about the military. Not the fact that I'm interested in enlisting! I passed that faze a loooong time ago. I've just been thinking about how all my love interests lately seem to have some type of affiliation to either branch of the military. Granted the majority were Marines, so Semper Fi, I guess, there was one that surpassed them all. I guess. Eh it doesn't matter.

Just seems like I'm stuck on this treadmill and I'm running. Fast. But not getting anywhere. I want to get somewhere. I'd love to. But I lack the direction and the motivation. This track is familiar and comforting. What to do? I think I'll sit back, enjoy the ride and NOT worry about it. Yeah, sounds good.

It's ok that young men like joining the military. I encourage everyone following their dreams, but must ALL my men do so? :( I hope not. I think it's ironic that the subject comes up in new relationships when not prompted. "So I'm thinking of enlisting" "Oh. *mumbles you too eh*"
