Chopper Differences
Military children can easily differentiate between helicopters, but non-military kids will just call the flying thing a helicopter. “Son, is it a Blackhawk, an Apache, or a Chinook?” Military kids always know the answer.
Time Away
Deployment can mean several weeks, months, or even years away from your loved ones. People in the military can get so accustomed to being away for so long that times goes by in a second for them. Don’t be surprised if someone in the military says their time away felt like hours, not months.
