Thanl you to all of you military families. My dad was in the army but got out soon after I was born and then in the Air Force National Guard retired after his 20 yrs. I have always been around the miltary either from my father, to neighbors (live near NAS Jax.) and now with my boyfriend in the Navy. I am in awe on a daily basis.
I agree an off topic for the military would be good. I will be needing people to talk to soon. Eric will be shipping out in June (well that's what they say so far). We have know each other for 11 yrs andhis be in for 8 of those but we started dating after he came back for tour after 9-11. He broke his leg so hasn't had to deploy since, I tell him I'm not getting scared but I am. So support would be handy for me and I know for all of you that have your love ones away.
