I looked around the room, seeing the other woman with their husbands and boyfriends..Making me wish that my soldier was with me.A month afer I last saw Kevin, he was stationed at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. We had kept in conact but I wasnt able to visit him. My hormones were raging, and needed to feel the touc...

Something that changed our lives forever.I pulled into the parking spot and texted him, to let him know that I was there. I saw him walk out of the building, with one of his roomates. I Jumped out of the car and ran towards him, jumping into his arms. Kevin held me tight...

It was 12:50 am..I stood by my car at the Greyhound station, waiting for the bus to arrive. My heart was pounding, butterflies fluttered around in my knotted up stomach. I was getting very excited but also very nervous.The 15 minutes felt like an eternity before the bus pulled up in front of me. One by one I watched people step off; then I saw my soldier. As soon as he stepped on to the sidewalk I ran towards him, jumping...

“I can’t believe it’s been two years already,” I said to myself as I pulled into the airport parking lot. Two years ago my husband Kevin left for Iraq. Now today, he is finally coming home.I quickly parked the car and walked towards the gate, where his plane would be landing. The few sort minutes seemed to drag on through eternity. I saw the plane land, and my heart began to race. It felt like it was going to pop out of m...

4:30 PM I’m sitting in my recruiter’s beige coupé, driving to the place where I will sign my life away. I bite hard on my lower lip as I realize what a massive decision I’m about to make with my life. Enlisting in the Navy was not something I had really contemplated before this year, and everything since then has happened so suddenly. All at once I have a job, a plan. Then again, that’s just the way my life has always hap...

I was sitting with my back to the door when Commander Rainey came in. My feet were up on the windowsill, the weekend’s watch roster on my lap. I’d like to say I was working on it, but really I was kind of staring into space. She tapped twice on the open door.“Come in,” I said without turning, thinking it was one of my girls.“I’m already in,” she answered. I turned to see her halfway to my desk. She waved me down as I star...

Fraternization by patricia51 Every child always wants to know how his mother and father met. I tell mine, it all started with a flat tire on a jeep. But maybe that is getting a little ahead of my story.My name is Kelly, born Kelly Wooten. I was the younger of two sisters in a small southern coastal town. When I was a senior in high school I managed the astounding feat of getting married, getting pregnant and getting divor...

"Volunteer Johnson, you are with me," Doctor Morgan's cocky voice assaults my ears.  Oh great, of all the doctors in this unit, I'm stuck with the bitchiest doctor in the friggin' hospital. I nod and follow her down the hallway, away from the vending machines.  I curse my luck that I'm assigned to a doctor before I get my chocolate fix. "Alright, you'll be working rooms 123 and 124.  There will be patients in there, tend...

Here is the story of another particularly memorable guard shift...        Well it was a Saturday night, and there I was, stuck on CQ (Charge of Quarters-guarding the soldiers barracks while they sleep.)  CQ is a 24 hour duty, and can get pretty boring sometimes, so I called my husband, Joe to come keep me company.  He picked up the phone and said he would be there in about 20mins. The other soldier on guard is what we lik...

First a note: Yes, we are military personnel, the both of us, so I am going to include the common military vernacular to keep the story true to form. I will however, also include a short explanation of some of the terms, so I don't lose anybody. Hope you enjoy our story as much as we enjoyed sharing it.        At the time I was a newly single man, and just enjoying things, although I didn't have a girlfriend at the time....

Recently I've felt I've been in a rut, been with the same man 10+ years, lived in the same condo 10+ years, and worked at the same company 10+ years. One day while surfing the net I stumbled onto an adult website and decided to register. Next thing I knew I had so many hits on my profile I was wondering if I'd made a hugh mistake LOL or if I was going to have a lot of fun. After sorting through several responses I hit upo...

Julie looked down into the most gorgeous pair of blue eyes she had ever seen. A petite, athletic girl stood in front of her, decked out in her cammies, hat off, bag over her shoulder. She had light blond hair, perfectly arched eyebrows and a spat...

Sergeant First Class Helen Walters stood in front of the colonel’s desk, rigidly at attention and holding her perfect salute until the older man finally acknowledged her presence with a quick snap of his elbow. “Stand easy, Sergeant,” he barked.  “If you’ve got questions, hold them until after this inquiry.  I think these things go best when they go fast.  Wouldn’t you agree, Sergeant?” “Yes, Sir.” “I will not insult you...
