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: If your boyfriend is in the military, are there more times when he's away than home?
I would say that if you don’t include basic or deployment its about even.

Anonymous asked: What is "milso" and what is typical "milso" it has such a negative tone to it.
Milso means: Military Significant Other and there is no typical one. Its pretty much just someone who’s dating someone in the military and that’s about it.
I know it has a negative tone which is why I hate using it.

Anonymous asked: With him being away a lot, is it easy?
It’s never easy being away from him, but it is easier to focus on things like school and work. I still miss him like crazy when he’s away, but I am able to focus on the tasks at hand that I can control.

Anonymous asked: So recently found out something about my boyfriend that really made me mad. Nothing serious like cheating or too breakup serious but its still something not ok. Anyway he's in navy basic since a little over a week ago and haven't gotten his form letter yet and when I write im gonna wanna call him out on it. But I know he's definitely stressed so idk if I should bring it up in a letter. But acting like i dont know and being sweet in a letter would be a little fake. Help:/
Every guy takes bad news differently so I’m not sure how much I can help you on this one, but I will tell you about how I handled this with my guy.
When my guy was gone I found something out about him and like you I didn’t like it so I wrote him a letter that was a normal letter, and at the end I wrote: The next time I write I will send two letters, one is like all of our others, and the other is a little more negative. If you don’t want to read the negative one you don’t have to.
That way if he was okay with reading it he could and if he didn’t want to he didn’t have to. Although there is a warning with this way because he could just read both and get mad anyway, but in the end it was his choice on whether he read it or not.

Anonymous asked: So I finally got a letter from my guy but I'm too nervous to open it and IDK WHY.
Ha ha I was feeling that way too when I got my first letter from my guy. For me I was just nervous that he was having a bad time and regretted everything that he was working hard to achieve. I promise you that when you open that letter you will be the happiest you can be, and you won’t hesitate opening any of the other ones.

I recently began a guy that’s been in the marines for about a year now. We were previously friends before he joined the service but it is so difficult to build a relationship while he’s gone. I never had the time to spend with him before he left. We’ve been together now for about 7 months and he just began working on the fleet. When he left this time a lot of things changed. We haven’t been able to talk as often which I understand because he is busy with work and some family that he has out there. But I just don’t feel that he cares as much about me now. The last times he left he made it so easy on me by making me feel so important, now I feel like I’m his last priority after work, family, gym time, and deployment. Is this just me? Or is there something I can do to get more out of this relationship?
Military Girlfriend Response:
Honestly I think that he might just be really tired after all the stuff he goes through in a day. He has a lot going on, and I’m sure that it’s not that he doesn’t want to talk to you, but he may just be way too tired to be able to.
If it were me I would probably tell him how I am feeling and maybe make a plan to have a special day where you guys talk to each other for even an hour just to feel closer. I really think that you should talk to him about it because if he knows how you are feeling he will be able to fix it, as well as tell you exactly why he is doing that.

Anonymous asked: For the shooting ranks ... Marksman, Sharpshooter, Expert. what do they mean? I know you have to get a certain amount of points, but are Experts more likely to be in the front line because they can shoot the best? How does that work? (Marines)
The shooting ranks are just the title you get if you score a certain number of points when you are qualifying for you weapons. The higher the score the better the title. Marksman is achieved when you score a total of 23-29 out of 40, Sharpshooter is 30-35 out of 40, and Expert is 36-40 out of 40.
It does not matter how you score for when it comes to your positioning during deployment. They are more goals for people to set, they have no value besides a medal on your chest.

Anonymous asked: I'm so excited for my boyfriend to come home but I'm also kind of nervous! I don't know what to expect.. How he will act towards me! What if things are different?
Things might be different because he is used to hanging out with a group of guys so the language and attitude may change. At first it may bother you, but after a while he will go back to the way he used to be, and you will also get used to the things he says. You kind of naturally meet in the middle.
It may be hard at first, but in the end everything will be back to the way things were.
