5. Why did the army ask you to leave?

I just wasn't cut out for the Army. My sergeants never appreciated my sense of humor...LOL
I enlisted during the 1st Gulf War, but by the time I made it to boot camp the war was over. (I remember eating alot of the pre-packaged meals they were sending back from the Gulf, since they had taken a year's worth of supplies with them and the ground war lasted all of a couple days)
The technical term for what happened to me was RIF. (reduction in force)
This was during George H.W. Bush administration, the cold war was over, Desert Storm was over, and the military was reducing its size.
I was the weakest link....LOL
I never did anything to warrant getting kicked out, but I was just barely getting by. They "asked me to quit" and I didn't like them anymore than they liked me, so I signed the papers and got sent home.
Its something that I don't regret doing, but would never want to do again.
