He’s home.

When he comes home, its important to give space. Let them reaclimate and unwind. Be there with a beer and a kiss. Start his laundry while he showers. I can hear him sighing all the stress of the past weeks away while he scrubs the accumulated dirt from his body. And when he steps out I’ll be ready with dinner, reminding him that he is home; safe and loved.

So, this has been running though my mind for a while now, and I’m finally getting around to it:

I have heard people talk about not understanding the point of the ceremony and hype around the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. And I don’t blame them. Even though I’m a combat veteran, it took me a while to understand why it meant so much to me. Please allow me to pass my understanding on to you.

As soldiers, we have written a check to the people of the USA, redeemable for up to and including our lives. This came with the promise that if we had to give our lives, our sacrifice would be honored.

No. Matter. What.

The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is the ultimate fulfillment of that promise. It is standing proof that, even if the ONLY thing we can determine is that you were a US soldier, and not your identity, your sacrifice will STILL be honored.

And this is not just important for those about to face the risk of death. For those of us who survived, but have comrades who did not, this is super important. It brings comfort to those of us who knew those that have fallen. To know that they are honored, as we were promised they would be.

To be super blunt, it doesn’t fucking matter what you think of the military: it is a demonstrable fact that without them, people wouldn’t have the right choose how they feel about ANYTHING. And those who gave their lives to continue to support and defend these rights deserve to be honored and remembered.

That is all. Carry on.

Military SO's!

Allow me the opportunity to introduce myself, my name is Brittany. I am an enrollment advisor at Career Step. Career Step is teamed up with MyCaa to provide military spouses with free training programs so that they have the opportunity to find a career that fits their lifestyle.

When my husband was deployed I took to Tumblr, I spoke to complete strangers that were going through the same thing that I was. During that time I made friends that I have never met, but just understood. I want to say thank you by extending this information onto all Milso’s! 

I would like to ask if you stumble across this post that you share my Tumblr with your friends, family, Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr. I would also like to encourage you to check out my page, though it is just beginning I want to know about you! Please flood my ask/submit with your story, what you are looking for in a career, your deployment stories (what got you through), anything military related. I will then post your story or answer any questions you may have about the program.

Lets get to know each other :)

When the depression stage ends and the mania stages hits

[bumblebabbyuwu]

Me being Hypomanic at 3 am after being depressed all day

[emotional-wreckage]

Do you ever go through a hypomanic episode and you can just feel the happiness, excitement and adrenaline leave your body? And then you just feel like an empty shell left behind?

You know that the crash is coming soon. The happiness was just an illusion. And it's all gonna hit you hard 💔

[allthebipolarknowhow]

My experience is Bipolar 2 so far:

Staying up to ungodly hours for days on end because what is sleep??? Who is she???

Sleeping for 13+ hours multiple days in a row because oh, that’s who she is.

That hypomanic feeling of itchy electricity under your skin that makes you tremble because heck!!

That depression feel of heavy limbs and long suffering sighs because heck!!!

Staring at your medicine because you don’t want to take it

Staring at your medicine because you wanna take more

Playing Just Dance for 4 hours straight because spare energy,,

Laying on the floor and taking a nap because you don’t remember the last time you slept

That jumpy feeling you get when you have a little too much energy and you’re a little too happy and you’re like, “this is it”

That sad feeling you get when you come down from a high point and you’re just,, mildly sad

[liberalartsdegree]
