Sigh... I really don't have any friends. I was very close to my officers when I was chief, but once I was gone they just drifted away. I think I bonded more with my soldiers on deployments than anyone. You could open up and share with them. Strange as it might seem, they know more about me than my brother or father.

To sift through this, it seems I can only form friendships based upon common/shared emotional experiences. I guess I'm pretty messed up. It is so sad when you realize that you'll spend your golden years alone. Well, I guess I won't always be alone. I'll have the ghosts of certain troops with me. They visit me in my dreams almost every night

Sorry for being such a bummer. This time of year is always hard on me unless I am deployed
