Military & Service
You wore the uniform, stood the watches, and came home changed. The years of your service hold more than a discharge paper can, and the people who know you now weren't there to see any of it.
Three lists in this category
A service record lists the facts. It can't say what the heat felt like, who stood next to you, or the day the stripe was pinned on.
Your family has a few photographs of a younger version of you squinting into some other country's sun. What they don't have is the rest of it — the transport you sat on for hours, the buddy who covered for you, the first time somebody called you by your rank and you turned around because it still didn't sound like yourself. Those are the parts that fade unless someone writes them down.
These Lists give you a place to hold the shape of your service. One walks through the deployments and tours, the ground you covered and what you carried back. The other follows your rank from the first stripe to the last, and what each promotion cost and changed. Together they set down years that the paperwork only summarizes.
