The following is an entry from the blog of a friend of mine, an army officer heading overseas for her second 12 month.

I'm to the point where I'm just wondering if I am the one is the crowd who can be completely unnoticed where ever I go. I'm almost sure that I could walk into a full room of people wearing a chicken suit and no one would even notice. I grew to enjoy my solitude after being deployed and constantly around other people. But now, 4 years later, I'm seeing it more like a curse than anything else. Im not upset that I'm single, for I can deal with that. Im upset that I'm going away for another year and will be alone most of the time, due to gender and rank, so translation= another year of solitude. I'm getting tired of it, and just wish that I meant something to some people. I don't even feel like I have any friends who would genuinely miss me while I'm gone...
