I am in the military. I just returned home from active duty. I like country music. I also drive a Chevy.  It belonged to my dad who also is in the military.  He is on duty now. I live near DC in Virginia.
I am learning to swim. I drive a Chevy Tahoe.  I like to listen to loud rock music. Steak is my favorite meat to eat. I live in California but want to move to Europe.
I heard from my dad in the service. That's great! Did you get to video chat with him? Or was it just a phone call? How is he? No, just got to hear his voice, but it was SO great.  It had been too long - it's hard to do when we're both on active duty.  He sounds good, but maybe a bit run down.  He's stationed in Korea right now. I'm glad you got to hear from him. When is he due to get home? Will it be before you head out on another tour? You never know when things might suddenly change, but right now, it looks like he'll be home in July, and I won't have to go anywhere until October.  Looking forward to that time - even if it means giving up "my" truck for a while... Haha. I get that. But there more you share it, the more time you'll have to spend together. I couldn't imagine being away from my dad that long. He lives on the next street over and I can walk to his house in 5 minutes. Wow. That's so great that you appreciate that closeness.  It's hard to think about a time when my dad's not around anymore. Hey, I mentioned you to him. He says you haven't even lived until you've tried steak in Korea. They take their meat very seriously there!  Oh, really? I'll add that to my bucket list. I was already planning to go to Japan to have some Kobe beef at some point in the next 5 years. Maybe I'll have to add Korea to the itinerary.  Dad says you can get "real" Korean food on the west coast here, but not on the east.  He says if you're in the LA area, he'll give you the name of the best Korean BBQ in the states. That would certainly save me on travel expenses. I live about 3 hours up the coast from LA but I get down there a few times a year. I'll have to check out the place he knows next time I head down. Have you ever been out to LA? Only when I was a kid. We went to Disneyland, and saw some USC basketball.  It was a great father-son trip, but a long time ago now. Hey - maybe I should see if he wants to go out there together again, this summer! That would be a blast. Maybe meet up with you and your Pa, huh? That would be great. I could put you up at my place and we could make a trip into LA for a weekend. Definitely have to hit up that Korean BBQ.
