One of my childhood friends just became a MILSO. Her boyfriend joined the Army and I can tell that she’s both excited and nervous. I pray I can support her during hard times, and won’t put down her experience since her soldier is a state away while my Marine is across the country.
Nice thing? Three of us know each other, and the boys know of each other, and all of us are Scouts. Actually, our stories are kinda similar... Met at camp, fell in love, and they joined around high school.
I have so many people I care about serving. My cousin and two of my friends are in the Army, my fiance is in the Marines, and I know more who are in the National Guard. Before I just had to keep track of His news. Now I have to keep track of many more to be sure their safe.
Come home, boys. Your girls are waiting for you.
Home home, girls. Your boys are waiting for you.
