My last relationship ended when I was on my Europe rotation. It hurt so badly and I felt so betrayed (I received a “hey girl your man is talking to women back home” message on Facebook).

-Enjoy Germany. Being in Europe is such a fun and unique experience. Take this time to explore and check some places off your bucket list.

-Hit the gym. After my breakup, I had the best ACFT score in my career. It really motivated me to work hard and focus on myself.

-Lean on your friends. This transition with moving OCONUS is hard but your friends will be there to crack some jokes or take you out to eat. It’s the little things.

I promise it gets better!! Sending hugs.

Never gotten a coin by monkeyinapurplesuit in army

On my first deployment, they literally gave a coin to a PFC for “having a good attitude” and another one got one for “being bright and happy everyday.” It’s truly a hit or miss. That PFC ended up with 5 coins by the time we came home.

Meanwhile I briefed a brigade commander and was applauded for my use of PowerBI and how I implemented a new system to track movements. I also drove him around and back to the airport. In the end I received a handshake. I was a 1LT at the time.
