I read this topic earlier but I couldn't respond.

I just wanted to add that one of my best friends (and maybe boyfriend?) is in the Army. I've known him for 13 years and he's such a part of my life I can't imagine him not here with me. When he decided to join everything in my heart and soul screamed at him not to, but what I actually said to him was "If that's what you want to do, I support you."

Usually the decision to join any armed forces is a big one, a life changing one, and the people going in have thought long and hard about it.

Thank you Pooky for being a stronger person than I am. I could never do what you're doing and I'm glad there are people who can.image
