MY niese did there tours in Iraq as an officer and got the bronze star

She was attached to the 101st airborn as an advanced field medic she made Captain now she teaches school


That's pretty cool. The 101st is hard core.

We were worried the entire time they went to to most fucked up places last tour she didn't leave the base but that was a time when causalities were high they got mortared daily though

That's very cool. With a Bronze Star, and probably a CIB as well, she will be on the fast track for Promotion if she decides to make a career of it. A Bronze Star will help get jobs on the outside too, they aren't given to those who fold under pressure.

The war freaked her out as a medic she saw too much death. To the point of talking about it matter of factly "when they start oozing out of every orifice it's too late"  Hopefully she'll get less freaked out as time passes
