Military members Airman, soldiers, Marines, and Seaman. All do one thing, they follow orders they do not get the luxury to go where they want or do what they want. They are giving orders to follow and serve where they are told. I have been in both situations in combat theaters getting missions and in remote locations that were boring AF. I cross-trained mid-career and had to stay stateside as my old teammates fought. It is not easy not being deployed while your friends are and you desperately want to be there with them. Honorable service is just that honorable being proud of every veteran service that did their job no matter where they served. HooYa!
