Sometimes you gotta laugh.

One day I will sit down and write all the drama we have been living through this past month. 


But sometimes you just have to step back and laugh.  Laugh at the silliness of even the most dramatic circumstances.  A couple of my friends and I  have adopted a new "battle cry"  BAYONETS ATTACK!  At first the story behind this battle cry is silly, but actually when I sit down and think about it, it's SPEAKS volumes.  bayonets are old skool.  the Army has phased them out and many of the new Soldiers and Spouses aren't quite sure what they are, only us "old battle axes" are familiar with them.  And ATTACK reminds me of the spirit of a New Fresh Army Spouse, ready to ATTACK the Army life and jump in and "do her thing" taking no prisoners!  In my last post I talked about becoming numb to deployments and the ways of the Army and the best thing was to befriend a newbie/first timer.  It really puts things into perspective.  So that battle cry is more significant than originally though.   Speaking of battle cries, lets talk about Battle Buddies.  When Wayne was on the trail (drsgt) that was one of the MOST important factor of Basic Combat Training (BCT)  if a soldier did not have their battle buddy it would equal major trouble.  As an Army Wife we have our own Battle Buddies.  These are friends that stand by when times get rough and no matter what try and see the best of each other.  These battle buddies are amazing people and I you encounter many throughout your Military life.  The best advise I can give is hold these buddies close but also make sure you pay it forward and be someone elses Battle Buddy.
