My life is collapsing all around me. I had been selected for a tour of active duty starting in 5 weeks if I could recover from my surgery in time.

I received a notification today that my records are scheduled for review under a Qualitative Retention Board because I have (almost) 26 years of service. In other words, they are downsizing and kicking a bunch of the old guys out. Things look pretty bleak for me.

I'm crushed. Without the Army, what will I do??? I'm nothing without my identity as a soldier.
