Suited up like a Marine, but I'm really a NAVY VET. I just played a Marine for a TV show. It feels good to be back in any type of military uniform, honoring the rest of my Brothers and sisters of the Armed Forces. It brings back so many memories for me, from being on the U.S.S. Carl Vinson (CVN 70) where I stood along so many great and fascinating people from around the world who made a life long connection with each other, a bond that can never be broken. I served 4 years on Active Duty, 3 total deployments under my belt, and a good few operations as well that I am BLESSED to have been apart of in helping others in their most gruesome time of need. I cannot stress how much this changed my life by going in the Navy. It made me such a better person, I was able to travel to over 16+ countries and get exposed to a ton of new cultures ANNNND I got to try AMAZING new foods from around the Globe!! Nothing has compared to my life as a Navy Sailor, aboard good ole Chucky V as well called it. I've lost friends while in service, but they are forever in my heart. ALWAYS! I give a big HOOYAH to my fallen Heroes. IF you know someone who served in the military or currently serving. Tag them below and also tell them, They are loved and APPRECIATED. .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ . #USN #navyVet #militaryvet #tomboy #tomboymodel #tomboystyle #tomboylook #tomboyfashion #tomboygirl #tomboyswag #tomboyhair #tomboycommunity #girlswithplugs #girlswithtats #girlswithink#lgbtlove #lgbtfamily #lgbtdating #lgbtqcouples #gayprideparis #lgbtquotes #lgbtqpride #lgbtq?? #tomboystyle #tomboyfemme #cutecouplesgoals #androgynousfashion #undercutgirls #riotsociety #lovewins (at Naval Air Station North Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFXbOxdj5pU/?igshid=pvo6428e6vpg

Yes I am a Veteran and I PROUD to have served my country - serving comes with sacrifices that civilians don’t understand - we miss the little things in life, the big things in life, we miss birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, funerals, weddings, graduations, first days of school, first words, first steps, putting off having babies to go on deployment, learning how to be a spouse, we gain an understanding what it’s like to do things as a team yet at the same time how to work quietly own our own - we laugh and cry tears that cannot be shed ever - we’ve lost shipmates to enemies both foreign AND domestic and unfortunately to their own demons - we are Veterans but what we are NOT are a bunch of LOSERS or SUCKERS we are the VOLUNTEERS who have fought, died and SERVED (and would serve again in a heartbeat) for this country - please remember this when you see or hear negative views on ANY Veteran #NavyVet IS(SW/AW) Smith sends https://www.instagram.com/p/CEx6epcg4J3/?igshid=n9s5jkhtez43
