 I didn't know what to expect when I first enlisted, so I wasn't really outspoken. I just kind of went with the flow. Lemuel joined the military in 2010 before the repel of Don't Ask, Don't Tell, and he and Marvin recall the strain it put on their relationship. It was really hard. He was in Japan, I'm back in the States, and I would have to stay up late so I could talk to him on his lunch, and then once the Supreme Court ruled, we knew all that was going to change. He informed me that his CO gave permission to fly back to the States to get married. The Holstons are preparing to PCS soon, and though Lemuel and Marvin don't know where they're going, they're both ready to move into the future together. I'm Neiman Aaron Spirly, Masawa Air Base, Japan.
