However, what sets the best apart from the rest is their ability to properly tell a unique story. Directors, writers, and actors in these war movies either effectively translate an incredible true story onto the big screen, or explore a less flashy topic from an entirely new perspective, creating a fresh, distinct message altogether. All of the movies below successfully accomplish one of these objectives, and are ones you need to see if you haven't already.

Anxiety and Depression = 22
22, that's the number on average a day veterans take their lives. While we are inundated with that number whenever we have an event, or get ready to deploy, for some that number is just that, a number. Unless you have been through it, or know of someone that is has happened to, you feel for those in that situation. Like many other things in life, if it really isn't directly affecting you, its just another after thought. I know, I was one of those who felt the same way.

The Nest
To feel the cold wind across my cheeks would tend to be a pleasurable experience in most cases, but not in this one. The wind only makes the reminder of where I am and where I have been for the past week a bitter one.

Sailor Dream
On March 20th 2018, I left to RTC Great Lakes. This was the day that my longtime dreams of becoming a United States sailor began. I went through weeks of training I know everything there is to know about bootcamp and everything you learn while in training. I became the starboard watch for my division, which was great. I made the watch bill for the female compartment, and took care of the deck log. The deck log is something that the watch stander writes in, when certain things happen in the division. I also was part of division front, which is the part of the division that leads all of the other division when marching. I enjoyed my div job a lot!!! We went through basic damage control training, firefighting, small arms training, and many more things! It was the best experience of my life! A week before graduation, I got ASMO’d into a week two division, for failing my final run. So since I had already gone through all of the training that my new division was about to go through, I figured I would go to medical for an ongoing headache and slight dizziness I had been experiencing. For almost two weeks straight the doctor was trying to figure out what was causing the headaches because I was perfectly healthy. I had told the doctor that I had already felt better, because she had given me Tylenol and it helped tremendously with the headaches and I could continue on with training. But she insisted to find out what it was to make sure it was nothing serious.
