IJWTS Thread #8

[Starcradle]

IJWTS that I love writing, yet it is such a laborious task for me, occasionally bordering on agonizing.

 

[frenzy]

IJWTS- Make the room stop spinning

Are you ok Red?

IJWTS I'm sad One of my good friends is going to Iraq.. for the 5th time. He just got back from his 4th tour in March, now he's going again in September. I feel so bad for his wife and 3 kids.

Awe that's sad. Did they give him a choice?

 

[Wren]

IJWTS-I agree it's sad, but I hear it's common. We have troops in so many areas and yet not enough people signing up for military service.

IJWTS nah, they don't usually give you much of a choice when it comes to that... and if they do give you a choice, it's basically, don't do what we tell you to do and destroy your career, or go and stay in good standing.

 

[Starcradle]

IJWTS that I may need some of FNG's Excedrin.

dB, is he part of the IRR? If so, he can probably get DD&E'd, especially because he has children. 6 months R&R seems incredibly short, even for how strained the Army and Marine Corps have both been in recent years. And do you know what unit he's with? (Or, I guess I should ask what branch he's in too) I've got a friend shipping out in September with the Marine Corps, chances are they could be in the same MEU or unit.

Praying for him, his family and you and his other friends.

I am so sorry to hear that, HC.

Until we pass away and the next generation firmly grasps the torch of suffering, carrying on our pathetic legacy.

Yeah...to think that my great-grandfather was 5 the last time they won the World Series. I grew up watching the games with him and my two cousins. So....I guess he passed the torch onto me. Thanks Gramps! LOL

IJWTS: I would never do anything to hurt you... and I hope that you know that.

 

[deepgreen11]

IJWTS...my heart is happy, but parts of it ache. It aches for understanding, it yearns to be held close, and it wants to be in that place, the place it is free to beat. Does anyone know how this feels? As if everything's falling into place, but you wonder if the people in your life are willing to celebrate you as well as listen to your fears? Hmm.

IAWTS...I'm sorry, but I have to...I'm considering leaving. I haven't really gotten connected in here. I feel like such an outsider, like I'm missing this whole big thing. Am I? I like posting here. I like reading the threads. You also make me laugh and make me think. But I feel like an outsider to you. Sorry. That's how I feel.

 

[* kittie *]

IJWTS that your false cares mean nothing to me. I wish you would stop giving so little only to keep me around. Especially when in the end, you're going to end up breaking me like you've always done.

IJWTS-If you really want to leave, I can understand, but what you feel is really normal/common. I think that most people feel like outsiders on forums, especially one like this where it seems (and is the case sometimes) like there are a bunch of cliques and off-forum friendships. I felt like that originally, too. Then, I started posting like mad and not caring if I fit in or not. It took awhile (at least several months) before I felt like I really fit in. You just have to constantly and consistently put yourself out there. It's like real life, the more you make yourself a part of the group by participating, the more you fit in. Also, people probably notice you more and you fit in more than you realize.

 

[HoosierCanuck]

I agree


IJWTS: kitty is back!!

 

[ido]

IJWTS I am having some sort of allergic reaction or something. I woke up this morning and my entire body is covered in a rash.

 

[Redstiletto]
