For military guys, How normal is for you to share thoughts and feelings about military life with penpals?

Like feelings about deployment, leaving family, marriage, and military life in general with a penpal you have.

How open you are with sharing those thoughts and feelings with someone, or do you do it with very close friends and love ones only?For military guys, How normal is for you to share thoughts and feelings about military life with penpals?Depends on the person.



I had five pen pals during my last tour. Over a year of talking to one of them, another year of visiting her, we got married.



Overall, it depended on the person. Two were good at talking about things, one younger one was just curious about things and didn't not seem to be interesting in details, one was more interested in telling me about himself and his XBox.



Something I have noticed in general over several years is that people share their feeling with two people, someone they know extremely well, or somebody they do not know at all.
