I was only thirteen, but there was definitely no one really my age in the youth group either, and I remember how much that sucked. Hang in there! Don’t worry Chris, it can only get better :)

It is true that it is going slow, that's just a part of life man! Sometimes things get down. Lately I feel as though everyone in my platoon is against me. I feel like I have been "that guy" this week, and for no appearant reason. With your time in service I'm sure you understand.... Whew, some of these jerks are ETS'ing really quick though, and others are PCS'ing. Getting out or moving out, either way they'll be gone! YAY! -Jas No, you are not a fool.

I didn't mean it thatway. All I'm saying is that maybe I'm just frustrated that things are developing a little slower than I had hoped. Maybe things will change soon and I will look back and see what a foo' i was. Jason–

All I'm saying is that I didn't click with that one friend like I have always had before. I always have had friends, but I always had that one or two special friends who were super close to me. There I didn't have it, and it hurt bad. Here in the military I am hailed as "different" because of my beliefs. I mean, these guys watch my every move, waiting for me to mess up and rub it in my face. But I have a couple of guys here who I actually get along with and hang out with outside of work. I thank God for that. I can tell these guys ANYTHING and they still accept me for who I am and what I believe in. I mean, we actually have conversations with meaning, not just the typical "Hello, how are you?" that I receive so much elsewhere. And as for your situation, I really do understand. I hope that it gets better. But I simply stated in fewer words that the only fix for that problem in my case was to move. Since you are called there, you don't have that option. So I really don't know what to say besides the fact that I am praying for you. -Jas Whoa whoa whoa, aren’t we a little testy tonight brother dearest?

Jimmy is very sad that he missed out on fishing, we booked a room at the Bass Pro lodge just for the fishing (yep, he's a freak of nature). So as long as no more random deployments come up, we will be making our way there next spring. I’m hoping we make it up there too.

Me, I don't. Closest people are Misty and Omar three years my senior. Christy-- I never thought of it that way -- "the first six months of a move are the hardest." Ain't that the truth. Would love to reconnect with you and Jimmy, here's to hoping you guys make it up here in Springtime. Jason–

We'll be there in the spring, well I can't say count on it because as you know and saw before plans change fast. But even us coming for a visit wouldn't put any of us in the category you are looking for, neither are single, Jimmy will be 26 and little Joel will be almost 2. So nope no 20-25 Single men or women when we come up either. It will get better. The first 6months of a move are the hardest. I'm just making new friends here and we've been here almost 7months. Wow Chris, don’t know what to tell ya.

Been there, done that, staying in the Military and NOT going back. Don't know what to tell you man, I put up with it for two years and I sure as all get out don't plan on going to Missouri for a long time to come- excepting for maybe Sapper School in Ft. Wood. I'll be praying for you man. -Jas Hm…. Been there, done that, staying in the Military and NOT going back.
