A/N: Thank you ALL for the reviews and alerts, it's means a lot.

Discover the meaning of life.

In this job, we investigate and defeat criminal, foreign, and terrorist intelligence threats to the United States Navy and Marine Corps, wherever they operate: ashore, afloat, or in cyberspace. This job can pull and push someone to the edge. Most cases we have involve a death. Digging around in people's lives, searching for the truth - that doesn't happen over night. It takes time. Sometimes the questions never get answers. You just move on because another case is sure to follow.

I've grown up (a little) in the last couple years. It may not seem like it, but I have. Everyone has a different opinion on the meaning life. Sure, I would love to be able to watch a movie and have it figured out. Unfortunately, that's not the way it works.

Whether they like it or not, my team is my family. They are stuck with me through the good and bad. I have their backs and they have mine. We don't take no for an answer. (I might but the Boss Man doesn't.)

Discovering the meaning life took me time to figure out but it's really simple, actually. Sure, I could've been a old man, still single, sitting bathrobed in a recliner, watching movies until the end of time.

Luckily, I'm not.

Surround yourself with people you can't live without. The people who love you just as you are. The people who headslap you when you say something stupid. The people who watch movies with you. The people who pretend to be sidekicks when you know you are equals. The people who protect you and defend you.

And hold onto the one person who stands beside you, ready to break the rules because the benefits outweigh the consequences.
