I never understood why Army JROTC liked to wear all that crap, none of its real as far as active Military goes and everything in the wrong spot 
Anyone in Army JROTC should feel proud of any accomplishments they obtain, and be proud to don their uniform including any recognitions they might have obtained ( medals, ribbons, etc....) no reason to slam him Junky.......
BP, I know exactly how you feel in regards to the following:
She started off as my bestfriend.
Seriously she is my heart and soul. Love her more than the very breath i breathe. She is a prayer from god that i asked for so many nights.
although me and my kids Mom split up after 12 years, we are closer.. Best Friends than ever, and she truly was an Angel sent from Heaven back when she first came into my life, if it was not for her, I prob would not be here today from my wild and crazy shenanigans I used to pull.....
wish you and your Lady the best
