It's really sad to see them off. One of them broke down and started bawling her eyes out. Mrs. Belly started crying right along side with her. It must be a girl thing.
one of my other ones asked me for deployment advice. I told him this: "set goals and achieve them. Show people who you are and never apologize for being successful. Help everyone. If you get in a tight spot, be prepared to kill everything. Your internal will to succeed needs to be shadowed by your internal will to prepare. Be a lion and eat people's faces off."
Now THAT is how you motivate a 19 yr old dude going to a war zone!
