"If you're not in love with a soldier, you can't know adventure. You don't know smelly green PT uniforms that require a daily washing. You can't understand green and brown camouflaged bags flooding your bedroom floor. 



If you're not in love with a soldier, you can't understand the meaning of the phrase "going outfield" and the weeks you spend away from each other.



If you're not in love with a soldier, you can never imagine the hole in your heart when that phone call comes? "Honey, I am booking in tomorrow. I don't know when if I'll be confined again but I love you, always!"



If you're not in love with a soldier, you can't truly understand how to make every moment count because it will be some time before the next phone call comes again. 



If you're not in love with a soldier, you can never really understand how very delicate life is! "

-Adapted (to suit the Singaporean context) from a website on the military in the US.
Removed certain sections which don't apply because the text was for a soldier who was going to fight a war.
