Who doesn't love a man in uniform?

This is a Military blog ran by Kiersten, Erika, Shannon, & Toni. Our loved ones are all currently serving for their country. We want to share our stories, pictures, ideas, and what we've learned with others. We are here to give advice with anything & listen to everyone else stories as well. So feel free to ask & submit <3

In general, how long is special forces training?

It really just depends on what branch you're talking about. There's Rangers training, Para-Rescue, Combat Coms, Seals and that's just to name a few. Which are you wanting information on?

Nate and Taylor! Can't see the source cause I'm on my phone, but here's another one misplaced-nostalgia.

A U.S. Marine pulls down a picture of Saddam Hussein at a school in Al-Kut on April 16, 2003.

Not everyone who serves is human. Wilbur, a USMC working dog, lays back on his handler after conducting an explosives sweep on a build site for a police checkpoint in Helmand Province, Afghanistan. March 2013.

There was a split second there where his like, “wait, what? bro what are you doing?” 

On more serious note, PTSD dogs for veterans are so fucking therapeutic. They’re like the one person you can spill your guts to and never worry about ever being judged or have that secret divulged. There are times when I definitely prefer the company of a dog over a human.

Therapy animals save lives.

These dogs are even still so much more amazing. They check rooms before their handler enters, so they can clear it to help the person feel safe. Like in the gif, they are there when panic attacks or nightmares occur, to be something for the person to help ground themselves on, or yes just to turn on the lights. Even more amazing, many people are able to reduce their medication when they have a PTSD service dog there to help them. These dogs are useful for not just veterans, but also victims of abuse, accident trauma, natural disasters, and others. Their training allows them to be useful in situations where medical assistance is needed, as well. Some PTSD dogs are trained to recognize repetitive behaviours in handlers, and signal the handler to break the repetition and stopping the behaviour and possibly injury. 

Service dogs in general are just awesome. Remember to respect any that you see out in public. They are not there for you to walk up to and play with, even the puppies!

Families are the compass that guide us. They are the inspiration to reach great heights, and our comfort when we occasionally falter. I LOVE MY BEAUTIFUL FAMILY💖 #armywife #armylife

After only seeing him 17 days in the past 8 months, he’s finally home! Knowing we will be together until he eventually has to deploy is the best feeling in the world.
