Originally posted by Rogue Ditto. I can't imagine what it must feel like to be out there. I really can't. But, I know what it feels like to have loved ones out there, AND to get that dreaded phone call. Luckily only one of them was KIA, the other was injured pretty badly, but luckily is going to be alright. I always thought I respected the soldiers who protect my country before. I even always thought I respected those who knew and loved the soldiers specifically. But man, the more I grow...the more I realize that there IS more room for respect and admiration. I'm no political buff, but I know there are always opposing sides, especially to war...but, I think soldiers need to hear this...especially from someone like me, because the biggest complainers ARE the ones like me it seems...the ones safely nestled in our homes, away from anything that shows us what the world is REALLY like...But, I support you. I don't give a fuck should I actually take the time to learn more about what's going wrong, and gain a real opinion of it. You're still a soldier, and you're still a fighter for everything I am lucky enough to love. Sorry, not so good at advice...but it bothers me that soldiers get the shit that I see them get. And, it's hard what you're going through. I can't even pretend to understand...so, at the very least...I hope you understand how much you're loved and respected for the things that you, and everyone out there with you, do. |

Absence makes the heart grow fonder. But yeah, sorry that you're going it alone out there, but it's great to hear that the work portion is going so well. Is there no moist bandana that you can tie around your mouth and nose before the dust kicks up to kinda keep the coughing down? |

Well, trouble at home is often why people become workaholics, except in this case its the lack of home, I suppose.
I thank you for the sacrifices you're making for this country. I'm so sorry you have to be separated from those you care about and would go to for comfort and kind words. I can't imagine what it would be like to be in your situation and you have my deepest sympathy. At least when it's over, you can snuggle and be happy with your husband all the live long day AND have great credentials and work experience for a civilian job.  |

Yes... I'm still out here. Which isn't so bad. However... I feel what this does to a married couple. After having an old JROTC Battalion Commander die and what not. I don't think I want to be stuck in a time capsule. Anyway the previous unit has NOW been officially relieved and I am having some troubles getting used to the fact that the two people I go to aren't here. So I'm trying to figure out my problems on my own. Which isn't so bad.. Just a bit upsetting. I got to strip my first cable which wasn't so bad. I also found out that I'm going to accrue a holster for my M9 personalized for just me. I've got an electric teapot to make my own tea. I'm thinking about buying a collapsible table to work with that way our group can drink tea and play cards. That would be fun. *sigh* I dunno.
To add to that... I really miss my husband. I don't know why, but the thought of sleep every night makes me so sad. I've tried everything. Music and lights on. I get to the point where I can't help it. I guess I'm just not used to it. I get up for work eat and work out. THat's about all I do. I wake up in the morning and the dust gets real bad. I cough so much that I have to keep myself from throwing up. HOWEVER out of all these negatives I have one thing to say. People do come to me for networking issues and what ever goes on in the radio room. I can officially say that I have work experience in my job now. It's so much fun.I love every minute of working during the day. When I get off, is when I start to get emotional. |
