“Sergeant Crystal Halbert from Manhattan, Kansas. I’m 26 years old. “Home” by Blake Shelton, I can relate too it because it talks about being surround by so many people but you just want to go home because you still feel all alone. Home is sitting at my Mom’s, waiting for her to finish cooking dinner, all the family is starting to come over, my kids are running around. I joined in 2001. The last time I was here was 07-08. Things here are a lot different. Things have gotten a lot quieter. A bit more of peaceful place to be.”
