Cons of military life...

[FitnessBrat]

I grew up a military brat, my grandfathers, uncle, and dad are retired military, and my brother is in the Air Force. He is being deployed on Tuesday. :( I know there's 1000's of men and women doing their time as well, but damn it's tough knowing I wont see him until next year. :( :(

yea i know, i have had a few friends deploy. Sucks when you can't call them to hang out. Best of luck to your brother

I have also got a military background. My father is a retired air force engineer.
And i know the life there is too hard.

Best wishes and safe journey for him

It's a hell of a sacrifice in so many ways and so thankless in many more.

Well at least your bro isn't in a position that he will likely be hurt or worse.

I think I would want to be in the air force over any of the other branches.

They would probably make me a pilot of an f-22 within days of my arrival.

Yeah and this is what happens when they give you a fighter jet. :slap:

Best wishes to your brother and you and your family as well, FB!

^ LOL... maybe you'll be the guy that holds the cockpit bubble open for the pilots and then gives the thumbs up sign as they get ready for taking off. :)

I always wanted to be a submariner as a kid. Sounded cool but probably would be boring as hell....

Yea, it could be worse. He's not getting shipped off to the sand, either. He's going to Djibouti, Africa. Supposedly, it's beautiful over there.

I almost went there! I got out right before my unit went over there. It will go by so fast! Just send him a nice big box with magazines and pictures from home as often as you can! Pictures are the best thing to get when you're deployed! Pictures and beef jerky!!...lol
