I'm sitting here alone in my room, in Afghanistan, just waiting for her to email me or something. I know it won't happen, but I like it when she does. It doesn't even have to be anything significant, but just to have her acknowledge me is nice.


Tbart, Happiness is a inside job. Learn to acknowledge yourself. The military is great at extrinsic motivation, learn how to do intrinsic motivation. Take care of yourself, validate your accomplishments, list your goals, plan for yourself and be grateful for what you do have.

Change your thoughts. What do you have control over? What are your goals? How will you achieve and measure them? What are you going to do for yourself today? Who will you help? What will you learn?

You can handle it.

Strength and Honor.

Retain faith that you will prevail in the end, regardless of the difficulties and at the same time confront the most brutal facts of your current reality, whatever they might be.
