Having been an 18 year old military member, I am super sensitive to base activities and what kids can do.

And in this day and age, my 14 year old (actually 13), does not go anywhere without another member of her family.

She reads the news and knows she can be a target.

As once said “The best way to not be in a bar fight at 2:00 in the morning, is to not be in a bar at 2:00 in the morning).

She’s blessed to have such wise parents.

Unfortunately, there are a lot of young teens who try to be older than they are. Most (not all) 18 year old soldiers aren’t thinking with the right head. This isn’t a good combination.
