What is a battle buddy?
A battle buddy is a friend and/or comrade who is often met during military service. Battle Buddy relationships are often deep and personal due to the extraordinary experiences that battle buddies have together. From multiple combat deployments to long days on the range, battle buddies experience it all- TOGETHER.
Battle buddy friendships are often lifelong commitments!

Virtual Battle buddies typically send 10-15 text message interactions per week. If more interactions are desired our battle buddies are more than willing to converse with you more often! If less interaction is desired we are happy to provide some space, just let us know! We are here for you!!
You are more than welcome to talk to your battle buddy about many topics. From your daily personal challenges to what you're cooking for dinner, we want to hear from you as much as we can!!
In an attempt to create a mutually respectful environment,we ask that everyone who participates in the Virtual Battle Buddy program refrain from discussing sensitive topics such as politics and race.
