If you do, do you feel safer when he or she is around now that they are in the military

My son Michael joined the Army 1 month ago. I'm am proud of his decision but I miss him terribly...I tell everyone that I'm going through ''Michael Withdrawals''.
I live in California and he was shipped to Fort Leonard Wood, MO...that was a big change for me to accept but letters he's sending home help out quit a bit! They make me feel like he's still home...sort of!
I don't think I've gotten to the point where I feel safer simply because he's a soldier but I brag about him because he is...like I'm doing now!!! I would deffinately feel safer if he was home with me!

My best friend is in the military. I feel so much less safe, as I don't know when or if he will be shipped out and that takes away my sense of security. I always feel better when he is around.
My uncle is also in the military. They shipped him to the Middle East for a full year, just before he retired. He had to postpone his retirement, which they knew was coming up.
Also, many of the people in the military whom I know do not trust the military now that they have been in it. They feel they have been duped, made to believe this was an honorable thing and then had promises of honor taken away. How can that make anyone feel safe?

I am a retired military member and I can assure you that my children felt safer when I returned from deployment. Not only did they feel safer, but they felt better that I was home and not overseas fighting against an enemy. I would venture to guess that most military family members would feel better when their soldier, sailor, airman, or marine were back home in their arms.

Yeah, ME -- I'm Air Force Reserve. My friends and family members feel safer when I'm around, but that's only because I have pretty extensive training in hand-to-hand combat (I also hold a brown-black belt in Kuk Sool Won and my instructor is a former Navy SEAL). I don't think my military affiliation has anything to do with it.
