Will and I got married for the extra $1452 Navy pay
It is unfortunate to see those cast judgement on a lifestyle they have never lived. If you have lived it an survived then you are some of the lucky ones. We forget those who have lost their lives aren't always the ones who are fighting on the battle field or dead. You sacrifice a lot to serve and you expect a little respect in return. It is a hard life with as many benefits as downfalls. And there is a constant battle here at home and most don't even know about it. My story was a little different and yet in a way the same. I too witnessed the hypocrisy of the United States Military. The code states Honor, Courage and Commitment. But sometimes the only way to survive the system is to make it work for you when it won't stand behind you when you need it the most. Otherwise, what good are you going to be when your country needs you the most?— May 13, 2008 12:48 p.m.
