    hey i don't know you but i just wanted to say thank you for being in the military and serving our country. i was in the army reserves in 2002 but i was honorably discharged with a chapter 11. i can't serve now but if i ever get the chance to go back to fort jackson, s.c i would. i loved doing all that stuff. i was in j.r.o.t.c. for a year in high school and it was completely different. congrats that you made it all the way. my m.o.s. was a 92Y but all that is gone for now i am proud that you enjoy doing what you like. yeah it is depressing not being around family and friends and all the what if's possibilities. all you can do is hope for the best and pray to your god that you will be safe.
