It doesn’t matter where your family is located. Do you really want to go out wherever the military sends you, even if just 10 miles to town, over night, knowing your family is back there on base?

Jesus Christ, we deployed half way around the world and left our families. We knew they were cared for and we had support. You never served did you?
