Meet the US Armed Forces and others! You can ask them questions, dare them and all that jazz. Also slight plot at some point. All characters are my own (except for that one brief ask concerning aph characters) and belong to me. If you would like to use them in any way, please ask beforehand.

Being a marine was all Jules wanted to be, despite her parents reservations. However, being caught in an explosion in Afghanistan, Jules is sent home with no memory of her time there or the love she found overseas.
