I was eating with Bullet when a guy sat next to me. 

"I take it you're Jon right?" He said. I swallowed down my food and nodded. "Nice to meet ya, I'm Randy." He said and held out his hand. I shook it and smiled. (no they aren't gonna end up cheating or anything. They're friends)

"It's nice to meet you too, Randy." I said.

"I take it this is the lovely Bullet I've heard about?" He chuckled petting Bullet on the head.

"Yep. She's a good dog." I said and he smiled.

"I bet." He said. I smiled a little. He seemed nice.

"So how long have you been with the marines?" I asked.

"Eh 3 years. You?" He asked.

"Well I retired at 8 but this is my 9th now cause they made me come back. I'm 26 now.." I said.

"Oh dang I'm 32." Randy laughed.

"Dang." I laughed a bit and we both laughed a little and smiled.

"Yeah but it sucks you had to come back." Randy said.

"Yeah... I really miss my boyfriend.." I sighed.

"I feel ya mate, I miss my wife and my little girl." He said.

"Aww you have a daughter?" I asked.

"Mhmm." He showed me a pic.

"Aww she's adorable>" I said. 

"Thank you."
