He's Starting to Look Like a Chaplain

I bought my first set of ACU's and combat boots last night. I know it probably seems like a small thing, but we were all pretty excited about it. Wearing that uniform, though, makes it all become quite a bit more real. After I put them on and stood looking at myself in the mirror, Andrea asked me "So how does it feel?" I answered "Wierd." She replies "It makes you realize you are not just playing soldier, doesn't it?" I said "Yeah, pretty much." Anyway...we reached a milestone. It does feel pretty cool to have the uniform.

We move in less than a week. Excuse me, I think I need to go take a bottle of Rolaids.
