I winced as I stood up from one of the cargo net seats of the C-17 Globemaster, my side under my Multicam uniform still causing a minor amount of tension. The gust of air from the North Carolina air refreshed my senses, the cool air sweeping through my cl...

Returning home on leave for the first time since joining the army as a young 18 year old I had headed down to the local bar to see if any of my old friends were still about. Sadly with it being mid-week all was quiet and there was just my-self and one oth...

Chapter 1"Thank fuck for that!"I threw my bag on the floor and sat on my favourite stool at the bar.The vodka optic was within reach on one side and the mini fridge containing the coke on the other, I filled a glass with a lot of one and a little of the o...
It's 4:00 a.m., and I just got home from one of the wildest nights of my life. I live near an Army post, and have several friends who are in the military. This past week a couple of them have been home on leave from Iraq. They're leaving Saturday, so abou...
This all took place about two years ago when my boyfriend came home from Iraq. This was his third tour so I know how men get when they have been without for a while. Scott had been a Combat Core man for his entire career, he was always sure to take care o...
