That's a big step, to join the military. I wish you well and I'll pray for you. I've always liked you very much. I'm glad you made contact with me. I can imagine being worried. There is very little likelihood that we'll send boots on the ground into the Ukraine. I get the Washington Post via my Kindle, and all indicators point to just sanctions. Of course if Russia invaded the Ukraine, NATO would respond, but no one believes that will happen.
Stay in touch if you can, but I know you won't be able when you're in boot camp, or its equivalent. Hugs, my friend.
