The separation from your family. Personally it didn't bother me since I wasn't close to mine but most of my buddies were very sad to not be able to go home for the holidays. I remember one year they held a drawing to see who could get leave. Everyone's name went into the hat. They drew mine. One of my closest friends name wasn't drawn so I changed places with him. I was very glad I did. That was the last Christmas for his youngest son. He had leukemia and passed away in January.

Dude, you win not just the internet, but LIFE. You're the walking, talking example of selfless service. I ain't a Marine, but have to say it....Semper Fi Devil Dog.
