Making Cents of Life
There are thousands upon thousands of jobs out there but for military veterans, it can seem like there are only a few options.

Should you go on active duty or should you start as a reservist in the military? Heck, should you even join the military? There are many differences between the two and there’s really only one person who can make that decision. That person is you. What I can provide is a comparison between the two …
Insomnia absolutely sucks. And I’m not talking about the movie, either. I’m talking about insomnia that eats you alive, causing you to lose hours, days, and months of sleep.
