GREENVILLE, N.C. - We've heard time and again the emotional toll deployments can have on the troops and their families.

There are two Marines based in Eastern Carolina serving in Afghanistan right now who can make it easier for each other. That's because they're sisters.

Nine On Your Side’s Jim Niedelman spoke with them about the experience.

They are 24-year-old Aine Feaser and her 20-year-old sister Aisley.

How did they get there at the same time?

"That was completely luck of the draw,” Aine said. Luck these Marines from Cherry Point and Camp Lejeune are happy to have.

They are both stationed at Camp Leatherneck, but only get a chance to see each other a couple of times a week for meals.

"It's just incredible to have my sister out here at the same time. I'm really fortunate to have family outside the Marine Corps with me at the same time," said Aine Feaser, Marine.
