Good Luck and keep safe. A big thanks for serving us and our country! There are several young men from our church who are over there and we pray for their safety regularly as we do all our troops. There are many who will be praying for you!

I know how you feel, I can remember vividly the day my dad dropped me off at the pick up point the day I went into the Army in August 1967, one of the scariest days of my life knowing I was headed for Vietnam sooner or later, you'll do good, I'm sure.

Good luck lostsniper308!

This will be a part of your life you will never forget, keep your chin up and head down. The friendships you develope in the military are ones that will last a lifetime. Make sure you write home and give everyone your address, you don't know how much a letter from anybody at home at mail call will boost your morale. Thank you for serving our Country.

Check back in when you get a chance.

No offense to anyone...
Lostsniper308- don't get caught up in the responsibility of it all, the expectations of everyone, your sense of duty. Just take it one step at a time, plan for leaving, plan for dealing with basic (mentally), talk to some folks, get the paperwork, etc. Don't worry about it, just look at it as an adventure. Maybe that sounds lame and I don't know how old you are. I am glad that you are volunteering. Just don't worry about anyone else's expectations. Make the most of it. You can make a new life as a leader, maybe you can get satisfaction from plain getting things done. Nobody will know your history, you will be able to truly be yourself. No macho crap, just finding out how far you can go, how tough you are, how smart you are, how disciplined, dedicated, helpful. It's like Boy Scouts with a contract.

Like boyscouts with a contract and an M16.

I don't want to leave yet though. i've been trying to reach someone special but she won't return my messages. We're both recent High school graduates.

Each Sunday our church says a special prayer for those who serve. I'll be sure to add you to my own list. Thank you for your service.
