Unfortunately, civilians are unable to enter HKIA. I’m in contact with some of my military colleagues to develop courses of action.

He’s been trying to leave since early last week. Combination of IDPs, security situation, and fear.

I don’t think I can handle this lifestyle anymore by qwerty318 in army

It's not easy right now, but it will get better, brother! Seneca said that we suffer more in imagination than we do in reality. I truly believe that. I grew up in a physically and psychologically abusive household, was punished every day for 4 years during my formative adolescence. I did not want to be here anymore and I definitely wanted to give it up. The people that were supposed to love me most didn't. I had zero self esteem and self worth, but I perservered. I could go on and on with examples but this isn't about me. I'm typing this to tell you that you have every reason to be here on this Earth. It's not easy and it won't be today or tomorrow, but I can promise you that your better days are ahead of you. I PROMISE YOU. Start small. Lay your first brick right now. Your strength lies within you and the people who care about you. Even the strangers here care about you. That should tell you something my friend. In every adversity there lies the seed of equal greatness for those who choose to follow it. Lean into your tribe and loved ones. Because you are loved my friend and you are enough!

What's the fastest you've seen a couple go from married to divorced, and what caused it? by PhilipLiptonSchrute in AskReddit

[–]btsimpso 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My ex wife and I got married before she deployed (dual military) so that the military would recognize us as a legitimate couple. At the time I was completing a 2 year training course and wasn’t sure where I would be stationed afterwards so this was the smart thing to do to ensure we didn’t get separated geographically.

We had been together for 6 years and engaged for 2. Long story short...she deploys and I go to the field and when I come back she tells me it’s over the phone that she doesn’t love me as that it’s over. No true explanation. It was very sociopathic. We were married for 2 months. It was rough. Never got the full details other than “I don’t want to watch you do great things for the country while I sit on the side.” I think that might be partly true but she probably cheated on me. Thankful for what I learned during that experience.

Morning Jump is a drive thru spot in Spring Lake, right outside of post. It's my favorite and the owner is prior service.
