Finally I am a part of the "real" army....

A few days ago I had a defining moment as a member in the military......
There is this saying that goes around in the army about what a small world it is and I had never actually experienced it. Because of my specific job up to this point my exposure to other military members was actually very limited. So I could never actually share the sentiment!! UNTIL.....I was leaving the DFAC (Dining Facility) in Kuwait. I was there with two of the other girls from my team and a LT from Ft. Riley. We decided to get a picture together since we would not be seeing the LT again. We asked the next two people who came out of the DFAC if they could take the pic for us. After they were done the one soldier turned to me and asked me if I used to be SPC Kelly.....I was in shock!! It was a soldier that I had gone to AIT (Advanaced Individual Training) with when I was enlisted (in like 2004)!!! Finally I got to share the sentiment of what a small army this is!!
Much Love,
Mickey

P.S. I must give a shout out to Lizzy.....HAPPY 21st......wish I could have been there to celebrate with you!!!
