Location-Started in Great Lakes, we called it Great Mistakes, Illinois. After that California, but that was a big blur of rolling around a cold beach, swimming and very little sleep. After that I was stationed in Virginia and actually got to spend a few months there I think.
Why-Wanted to get out of small town S.C. and see the world.
Would I do it again? Absolutely.
I had many memorable experiences, some good some bad.
Permanent damage, some. I have two nice scars and a piece of a 7.62 round in my leg. That was a memory I could do without.
Now I'm a military spouse. I miss the adventure and the adrenalin sometimes, but it is nice actually being home for more than a few months at a time and not having to cringe every time the phone rings.
