Hey all,
So, unfortunately, my SO and myself split up after over a year together. They wanted to date in college and I didn't, I didn't think it was fair to ask each other to do long distance and be unhappy when the whole wide world of college was at our fingertips. I thought the best thing for my SO would be to end it now, so they could have lots of time to heal and move on surrounded by family and friends. While I know I made the right decision, it's still been tough.
Jarhead's been a little sad these past few days.
BUT, we're moving past that now
My next thought, after a few days was "Wait, I don't have a prom date anymore." Then I was like "Shoot, where should I post my application?" But THEN, a good friend of mine introduced me to their friend, and I was like "Oh yeah, that'd be fun!" They're super fun and sweet, and I'm anticipating a fun night at prom.
Then this happened
We're talking on the phone, and they happen to reveal to me that their dad is a FORMER GREEN BERET. And that his garage resembles a "small armory"
Now I don't know much, but I DO know two things about green berets: 1. They're tough. 2. They're trained to kill.
Now, I generally like to avoid death/severe maiming on a daily basis... any advice? They say their dad is a nice guy... but again, green beret with a purple heart, who returned after injury to finish his contract. (not sure if that's normal, but sounds badass. Nothing but respect)
(to be clear this last part is a joke, but advice is always welcome )
