Darlene's Story
Life
WELL IT HAS BEEN OVER 10 YEARS SINCE I GRADUATED AND IT STILL SEEMS LIKE YETERDAY. I MOVED BACKED TO OMAHA, NEBRASKA AND ATTENDED COLLEGE FULL TIME AS WELL AS WORKING A FUL TIME JOB. AFTER MY LITTLE SCHOLARSHIP MONEY RAN OUT AND I COULD NO LONGER AFFORD TO PAY MY WAY, I WORKED 2 FULL TIME JOBS. I DID THAT FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS UNTIL I MET MY HUSBAND,CHARLES. AFTER ABOUT A YEAR OF DATING I MOVED TO LINCOLN NEBRASKA WITH HIM WHERE HE WAS GOING TO SCHOOL. AFTER 2 YEARS OF DATING WE GOT PREGNANT WITH MY DAUGHTER, SEQUOYA WHO IS 8 SO WE KNEW IT WAS TIME FOR A CHANGE. TWO YEARS LATER WE HAD ANTHONY WHO IS 6 NOW. RIGHT AFTER HE WAS BORN WE BOTH JOINED THE MILITARY IN HOPES OF A NEW BEGINNING. WE MOVED TO GEORGIA (FORT STEWART) WHICH WAS OUR FIRST DUTY STATION AND WE WERE THERE FOR 4 YEARS. WE BOTH WERE DEPLOYED FOR 6 MONTH IN 2003 WHERE WE WERE ABLE TO SAVE A GREAT DEAL OF MONEY AND MAKE SOME DECENT INVESTMENTS. WE OWN A CONDO IN FLORIDA AND JUST RECENTLY BOUGHT A HOME IN NEWPORT NEWS, VA. WE BOTH ARE CURRENTLY DEPLOYED AGAIN BUT THIS TIME IT IS FOR A YEAR. MY HUSBAND JUST MADE HIS E-6 WHICH IS A STAFF SER...Expand for more
GEANT AND I AM A E-5 SERGEANT IN THE ARMY. I GO TO THE PROMOTION BOARD IN APRIL SO HOPEFULLY I TOO WILL BE A STAFF SERGEANT. A LOT OF PEOPLE THINK THE ARMY IS HARD BUT IT'S NOT. IT WAS EXACTLY WHAT WE NEEDED TO HELP GET US PREPARED FINANCIALLY AS WELL AS PREPARING US FOR THE FUTURE. WE DO PT EVERYDAY SO YOU CONTINUE TO STAY HEALTHY. YOU ARE GUARENTEED A PAYCHECK AND YOU GET EXTRAS FOR KIDS,FOOD AND CLOTHING. PLUS THERE ARE PERKS WHEN YOUR DEPLOYED. THE ONLY DOWNSIDE IS BEING AWAY FROM YOUR FAMILY AND THE POSSIBILITY OF BEING DEPLOYED IN A HOSTILE AREA. SINCE I DIDN'T GET TO MARRY A OLD RICH GUY AND SPEND ALL HIS MONEY I FIGURE I HAD TO DO SOMETHING. I HAVE BEEN TRULY BLESSED TO HAVE SUCH A WONDERFUL FAMILY. MY KIDS AND THEIR WELL BEING IS WHAT KEEPS ME GOING EVERYDAY. I HAVE CALMED DOWN A GREAT DEAL AND I OWE A LOT OF THAT TO MY HUSBAND, BECAUSE HE IS A EASY GOING LAID BACK TYPE OF MAN. KIDS REALLY MAKE YOU AWARE THAT IT'S NOT ALL ABOUT YOU ANYMORE. I AM VERY HAPPY AND AT PEACE WITH MY LIFE AND I WOULDN'T CHANGE A THINGE. MY CURRENT FOCUS RIGHT NOW IS TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL AND FINISH OUT MY DEGREE.
