Wow man, sorry to hear that! Its really unfortunate to have to be thousands of miles away when something like this happens but as everyone else said its probably for the better. At least you didnt get married and find out years down the road it wouldnt work, youre still young and have plenty of time to find someone else.

I agree with what Matt said though, its one of the many sacrifices our armed forces give up, but it does take a strong individual, man or female, to maintain a relationship or family while being miles apart for months on end and kudos to those who can do it and are willing...

Keep your head up, return home safely and move forward with your life!! Thanks again for your service bro
