My daughter is Army National Guard, currently assigned to language school. She says its the best and hardest job you will ever hate/love. Her current hate is getting up at 4:30am to run.

Sweet.

I remember those dark mornings, standing in formation still half asleep even after doing 7 different exercises, dreading the command "Double time... March! which was usually followed by "Left , left, left right lay-o...." and many miles.

Hers is the result of eating too much over Christmas break

Our daughter is a Major in the USAF.

From time to time, we get to attend the various ceremonies on base.

It is moving to get to see the opening and closing of these events.

The colors arrive, prayers are said and the fallen heros are honored.

Can the military and Christian views coexist? Indeed.

God and Country are interwoven and must not be seperated.

Well, physically I'm a very strong person and believe I could cope with the physical demands of the life.

But equally important is mental resillience. Maybe that's an area that, with me, needs improvement.
