All Comments on 'Becky's Marine Ch. 07'

The way that portrayed the departure was perfect. So many try but can't capture the emotion that shown but left unspoken by both parties. I have read this story from the beginning and I thank you for the way you portray Andrews. To many times I have seen the veteran portrayed as the complete PTSD basket case. That you for showing the complexity of the truth.

Before I forget, you most definitely need to continue this tale

You captured the reality of a young man, his friends, and loved ones as they prepare for the great unknown. I cannot put into words the feelings you stirred within me when I look back on my own deployments, along with the pain and anguish in the faces of my wife and children. I sincerely hope you continue this story line. Semper Fidelis!

"You dirty tease," I said. "You know I'll vet (get) you back for this, right?"

Tyler, Ryan and I moved as quietly as we could towards the large, slightly rundown two story shack that was our opposing teams stronghold. Inside waited our query; (quarry) Carl, Becky, Jeanna and Lauren. Our objective, secure the building and neutralize the threat.

Confirms need to reinstate the draft. This guy is nutty enough now, and has no business going back into deployment.

You did such a good job with this story i would like to see you keep going and show a couple that is distanced by a deployment can make it work , you only hear stories about cheaters . I think you could show us something that would be a different story . CC

It would be nice to have Drew back home safe.

I've read each episode as they have become available, don't stop now!!

Your untimely loss of Becky's inspiration had to be/is difficult. Condolences, especially as we enter holiday time here in the states. Peace be with you.

Not bad writing for a Jarhead.

Still so many possibiliites! Hope you pen some more!

Please continue

I really have enjoyed this story. I hope that you will do a little more on it, bring the boys back home safely and give them happy endings. I understand either way though. Great job and I look forward to your next story.

You have to get him home and married!

My condolences for your loss. The story is wonderful as is your writing. I would love more.

you owe us a finish to the story no matter the outcome.

My condolences as well. Please continue the story.

You finally did it...you got the first 5-star rating out of me!

Great story--brings back memories of stories my uncle and dad told me about deployments (both were WW2 Marines, my dad, Wake Island and my uncle went up the islands. My dad was in for 12 years and my uncle retired after 30 as a MGySgt). It also tells the horrors of PTSD -- both my dad and my nephew suffered from it.

Semper Fi!

i really think you have a ahndle on how the armed services work...your writing is excellant and your grasp of PTSD is very good...you knoow we never froget,,but oveertime iit does get easier...i'm getting a lot older now and i have two watch dogs who hear and see better than i do now..and all of my guns are loaded,,because an unloaded gun is just a clumsy piece of metal....crabbo71@aol.com

Come on devil dog. The lady who inspired you deserves a proper ending!

Remember the rules. 1. Never give up (you can do this) 2. Never leave anyone behind. (we are with you on this!)

definitely continue writing very good read.

Please keep writing. This story is excellent.

We go definitely need an ending and some closure, please

The was a pretty good story, I think you said it was your first work? I do think you need to continue the story with maybe a couple of battle scenes and our hero comes thru to save everyone but it does need a good ending, Please?
