I learned that in order to live this hard military life well, I had to let myself be known by friends who were in it with me and had to allow myself to admit when I wasn’t doing okay. And now, I have become the person that I needed in our early years in the military. As you think back to your first experiences in this military life, what was it that you needed? How can you become that for someone else? Military life is an opportunity and an invitation to connection. I have some ideas for how you can build that in your own life.
