Today was one of the many reasons we do what we do. It's the reason we give up so much to put our military career above our families, and everything else. Keep waking up at 5am and comming home at 9pm. All those days in the field training, while your wife/husband/child is alone at home. Keep busting your *** training up to prepare to war or to go back to war, so you can keep this country free. From pvt to officer, and back down. We all do our share and put up with alot of retarded crap.

Thanks for all the shiit you put up with. I mean think about it this way, at least you got free medical...

if they will ever give you an appointment.

So.. hooah, hoorah, or hooyah. Whoever you are.

Thanks again.

Amen brother!! I am MOST proud to be an American when I realize the great quality of the enlisted man in our great armed forces! Don't let the liberals get ya down.. there are many more of us silent majority in the American life that apreciate you to no end. Our country is great BECAUSE of the American military. It is a fool who thinks otherwise. I am ex Air Force and would re-enlist in a heart beat if I wasn't to old. I pray for you all. Take care and God's speed

 

Thanks to everyone in the military. You all have my appreciation.

 

I totally agreed with you esp after the 15month long approval now. Funny how a few days and they totally reversed course and now 15mos will be the standard.

However, we bust our a$$es each and every day....doin' our real world mission each and every day for the AD, the dependents, and the retirees. In addition to deploying and doing it all over for the AD, contractors, EPW's, and anyone else caught in any crossfire.
And then because that isn't enough, no 4 days because patients need to be seen... ever seen a doc get a payday activity... or a day off because no one was too stupid for a DUI or accident for x amt of days... NOPE because we've still gotta keep the doors open in case those of you who are off do something stupid and need our services.

ah well, nothing says happiness like a b!itching soldier....

 

hang in there bro it will be over before you know it. i know it's hell hurrying up and waiting, sweating your *** off in a humvee that is SUPPOSED to have an a/c, thinking how in the hell can there be sooo many flies in one place at one time, and thinking of how awesome it's going to be NOT to smell burning palm leaves anymore.....

just whatever you do, don't start thinking that no one over here cares or worries. i've been there. i know how hard it is.

there are TONS of us that thank ya'll every day. keep your head up and your *** down and you'll be home before you know it.
