My brother was in the army. After seeing and hearing some of of the $@#% he had to do, I was convinced the army wasn't for me. I'll be praying.

Thanks guys! Yeah when he called, first thing he said was "This is a living nightmare, they sent me to H**l." lol He's not married yet, he wanted to get done with all his training first because he has about 9 months of training total.

Fair enough. I know some guys who get married first because it almost doubled their pay (or so they said. I never looked into it)

Yes. It helps a lot if you can learn not to take it personally, that it's just what they do and what they are supposed to do. Is your family doing ok, airpa? I know my mom was super stressed when my brother and I went.

Nah we're doing fine. We've gone through this twice before. Dunno how his Fiance is taking it though. Yeah he said processing is the worst part. Once you get into the physical stuff it ain't so bad.

Update: Ok so apparently last week Darth got a fever, after a couple days they gave him some meds. He had a allergic reaction to them and he broke out in hives. So far all I know is they took him to the ER and pumped him full of benodryl. I'll update more when I can.
