A lot of news and some venting so buckle up!

Here's what I got to say to you: Hey everybody, I am sorry that I have been relatively quiet for the last few weeks. We have been very busy moving again. We live in a much more decent house right now, and although we do have others living in the same house, a couple who fight a lot and are really loud, at least we no longer have bugs eating us up at night anymore. I am also no longer sick in any way anymore so that is great news.
Two things that have come up though:
1. We still dont have a stable internet connection. Reason for this is that the other tenants still owe our land lady, and hence she punishes all of us. Great...
2. My fiance suddenly up and decided to join the army to secure our future here and make sure that we will have a better life. Of course I have been freaking out over this for a long time, but he is really intelligent, so the army want to keep him alive and well for his brains, so he will become a paralegal expert and wont be sent to the front lines to fight. Still I do worry cause he will still be a soldier so if war does break out for some reason, he will still have to fight... and my fiance isnt exactly... sturdy, what with his scoliosis and heart condition he's got.
Anyway, I have updated my workload list again, I have so much left to do now that I am finally healthy again and I am so sorry for all the delays... Hope you guys can forgive me...!!

And yeah I know he will be fine, I am just a worried wife to be is all, I dont particularly want to see the man I love most get hurt or anything, that should be a very normal worry for any girl who has someone they love in the army.
Oh, it's totally a normal worry, an entirely valid concern! But yeah, with his conditions he'd only be sent into front-line combat as a last resort, I would think. But I know worry often isn't much diminished by knowing better, the mind still finds what-ifs to ponder. Especially when it comes to those you care so deeply for.
What rubs me the wrong way, however, is that your fiance seems to have entirely disregarded your opinion on his decision. Sure, with the shitload of money US government is dumping towards their military it meeans he'd have a somewhat decent income - unlike many others over there. But that alone isn't enough to make me dislike military in general any less - mostly because military only serves a might-makes-right approach when it comes to getting along with people along the linbes of "Either you do what I want or I shoot you" - albeit on a much larger scale.
And yes, I may dislike the millitary, and yes, it may get really tough for him and for myself as well sometimes, but he is doing this with the best intentions. Do you know how much he'll get paid? I can tell you it's quite a large amount. And he will get free healthcare, free housing and free college and our children will get free education. So after a week of sobbing and worrying, I got my stuff together and support him with everything Ive got.
The worries about the army thing are understandable, though
Take care, both of you
