When my guy joined the military it was one of the hardest things I had ever had to deal with, and I wish that someone had told be about what I was getting myself into when he left. So, to help those who are going to be in the same situation that I am in I decided to start this blog telling people about what it's like to be in this type of relationship. I will post new advice every wednesday (I want to make sure that this blog lasts a long time) and I am open to quesitons and suggestions just message me and I'll answer you within 24 hours. Good luck. Military Girlfriend Out.
Anonymous asked: He left today? When does he come back?
Are you talking about my guy?
Anonymous asked: So my marine started boot on June 10th. 13 weeks till he graduates... So his graduation would be September 6th? Or does the first week not count so then his graduation would be September 13th?
It depends on if he actually started on the 10th or if they had him wait a week before he started. If it was the 10th that he started it would be 13 weeks after that.

I came home from a long day of work to find this on my pillow. I won’t get to see him for a long time and seeing this made me cry. I love him so much.

Anonymous asked: are there ever times when you ask yourself why you do this? why you wait so long?
It has crossed my mind a few times, but then I find a note that my guy hid in the apartment for me to find, or I see a picture of us, and it all comes flooding back. We are such a strong couple that the only thing that can bring us down is one of us deciding to quit, and I know for a fact that that is not going to happen.
With each new challenge that we face we get stronger and stronger as a couple. Every time we go through something new we always look at each other and say, “You and me, together forever”. And I know that that is exactly what’s going to happen.
I wait because WE are worth every second.

Anonymous asked: I have the "Rct Last Name, First Name" & I have the "3rd RTB, Lima Company" for the envelope but... I don't know his platoon. The platoons for him are 3064-3066 & 3068-3070. Can I put those for the platoon? If I leave them out, do you think it'll still get to him? Like, they'll find him either way because it's still Lima Co & 3rd RTB? I know the address for PI, his platoon is now all I need. I need to know if I leave it out, will it still get to him.
When I wrote my letters to my guy they had to be exact, but I’m not sure how it works for Parris Island. Leave a response so she can know!
Anonymous asked: I trust my boyfriend, but I keep hearing stories that some of the military men cheat while on duty, get close to another women in the military and end up being with them instead, or that some come back and they change their minds in being with you. I talked to an Army soldier and I told him that I'm worried about this and he told me to leave him because I shouldn't be thinking that way, but I don't want to leave him. I'm just scared. Since I am waiting for him.
Yes, it is true that people who are in the military have a tendency to cheat on the people that are waiting for them at home. However, this does not mean that your relationship is doomed to fail because some people do it.
Whoever told you that if you are having doubts you should leave him is telling you the cowards way out. Him telling you to break up with him because there is a chance of cheating is like telling someone to quit their job because there is a chance you will someday be fired. Everything has that chance of something bad happening.
Bottom line, if the two of you believe in the relationship, there won’t be any cheating.
Also, keep in mind that whatever happens will happen regardless of if he is in the military or not.

Anonymous asked: Okay, so, I was the anon before about how my ex is at Parris Island (you answered me on June 12th) & I think I found out how to contact him! I can't ask his mom (his only family in MI) because of her mental health & he literally has no one else. I went on the MCRD Parris Island website & found grad dates for 13 weeks from the day he started at boot. I now know (I think) his company & battalion. Do you think it'll go through? I don't wanna write him till 3 weeks in.
It should, but there are certain things you need to put on it. If anyone who knows about the address info for Paris Island please leave a reply so she can get this letter out!

ifyourreadingthis101 asked: Has anyone ever came up to you and told you that military was stupid? or told your guy that what he is doing is not right or that he shouldn't do it? My boyfriend is going into the Marines and he said that a lot of people have came up to him saying that the military is stupid and that he shouldnt do it and he was stupid for going i just don't really get how someone could say that the armed forces is stupid.. i mean they risk their lives for the freedom of this country
People get mad at the armed forces because they think that they represent all the political bull shit that goes on in our world. Unfortunately when most people see a man in uniform they don’t think of the sacrifices they are making, they think of whoever is currently the president and all of that.
Fortunately there are more people who say thank you than don’t, especially after what happened with 911. Besides they are just saying that to him now, but if he was in uniform they would be singing a different song.
My guy always says that he defends them so they can spit in his face and that’s just something that comes with the job. You can’t change people, but you can still support those who are fighting for their country.

Anonymous asked: Am I a bad military girlfriend if I told him I will never date another military man again if we breakup? I don't think military girlfriend is my lifestyle. So as of now, my Marine is the only military man I will EVER be with. I can't do it again.
I don’t think so. This is a very hard thing to go through and it is very understandable to not want to take the risk. Just remember that regardless of someones career choice there is still a chance for something to happen to them. Every job has a risk of death, but if you aren’t comfortable with dating another military man there is absolutely no shame in that.

Featured Follower of the Month!
This month is will be featuring there-will-be-time-enough, also known as Kristin.
Kristin has been dating her boyfriend for four months now and he is a Marine on deployment in the Middle East.
The hardest part for her when it comes to him being gone is that, “I was so used to having him with me all the time. He was the last person I spoke to (and fell asleep on most of the time) and the first one I spoke to when I woke up. Anytime anything ever happened, significant or not, my first reaction was to call Dem. And when he left, it was like part of my body got amputated and I had to relearn how to function and do all of the things I did when I had him to lean on,”.
She is able to overcome this is, “I have a really really great support system. I’m close with one of his family members, and my best friend is the most supportive person I could ever ask for. Dem is really good at being attentive, and has always put in writing the things that I need to hear the most. And I also have hundreds of emails and messages that I am able to go back and cling to,”.
In her spare time she works on her car, works, takes herself to movies and dinner, visits her family, blogs, teaches herself to play guitar, babysits, cleans, and cooks.
I have talked to her multiple times and she is an amazing person. Her guy has been through a lot and she has been there for him through thick and thin and she is still going strong.
She is a true Military Girlfriend.
So my boyfriend is in MCT as we speak then he goes to Florida for almost 9 months. We have known each other for two years ad I knew him before he chose the uniform and we started dating before he left for basic. We both want and know it will work but there are people in my family that think its not healthy to date someone in the military, and I love him and want to follow my heart and spend the rest of my life with him. In your opinion, what age is to young for military marriage? And how should I handle my family?
Military Girlfriend Response:
I don’t think that there is a certain age, but I always advice against getting married right out of training, especially if it is to prove something.
My guy and I said that we wouldn’t get engaged until at least one year after he was done with all of his training. People change while they are gone and too many people rush into marriage after training. This is the number one cause of divorce in the military. You two are going to be together forever, so why rush things?
As far as the family thing goes, I have found that the best way to handle people who don’t think you tow are going to last is to just give it time. The longer the two of you are together the more you will prove to them that that is the way its going to be. Its the best way I’ve found so far.
