My husband is an infantryman.
I believe he chose this MOS because of the opportunity to serve, the thrill factor, and the challenge that comes with boots-on-the-ground-kicking-in-doors-and-taking-names.
Plus, he loves the color blue.
Recently, however, I have learned another interesting piece of his genetic service member make-up.
If duty calls you to Presidio of Monterey, you’re heading to paradise! Sandy beaches, a vibrant community, and a multitude of attractions and amenities are waiting for you. The post is located near the ocean! Pebble Beach is a must-see, of course, with its world-famous golf course and beautiful coastline. Garrapata Beach is also a great option for observing local wildlife. There are over 110 species of birds living in this coastal woodland.
Change. Some like it, some don’t. Some plan for it, others are surprised by it. It doesn’t matter if we’re prepared, looking forward to it, or blown away by it—sometimes it’s just hard to embrace your change.
I’ve been teaching classes on the military installation lately, and I’m often amazed by how little the military population knows about Gold Star Families. I believe one of the first steps to be supportive of them is to understand the terminology. The second way is to lend your time and or talents to the cause.
Ah, February. The month of love and candy and stuff. I’ve never been a fan of Valentine’s Day, mostly because taking a special day to tell people that you love them seems really silly. Shouldn’t we be sharing love and kindness every day?
What do you love about military life? Think about it for a minute.
Think longer if you need to.
What do you specifically love about this very complex, often isolating, sometimes frustrating life? Sometimes, especially lately, it takes longer for an answer to spring to my mind, but it always does.
