On saturday I had to wake up at 4:oo a.m. because my dad is leaving for about three months on some trip and i was so sad but i am ok now because he has left for a longer time before and o guess i just got used to it. I guess what i am trying to say is if you want to join in the military be warned because you have to be gone for long trips and you will not be able to see your family and also if you get lucky you can have a phone call and talk to your family.
