The Military SO Support Thread

[Call Me Stephanie]

I'm having some SERIOUS issues with my husband... we got into a big fight about his broken promises and... man this distance is killing our relationship...

[pwntishness]

My brother was a marine. He survived 6 years in Iraq and 2 years in Japan and Iran. He was lucky, I know that. Now my fiancee is going into the Marines. I'm terrified. We go to separate universities, and I can handle that, but the thought of him over there? No. I can't, I just can't. How do I cope with this?

[JanelleJinx]

Hey everyone... I haven't been around here as much as wished, and I apologize for that... I'll try to pop in more often.

...Aye, but things changed a bit in the other thread, leading to an expansion in the form of this guild.
We'd like to combine forces here, and welcome both threads into this guild.
In no way, shape, or form, will the guild replace the hard work of either guilds and it's activity.

The guild is currently under construction and in the first stages of development.

....If you decide to join in, all that is asked is to send in a request to join, along with a summary of how you relate to military relationships.

smile Hope all's well! See you around!

it's been a while since anyone has posted! So I will. :]

Steven was supposed to go on flood relief but hasn't because nothing was too major.

I'm considering joining the national guard to work in supply or administration :] possibly financial specialist (accountant) or Administrative specialist which is what i'm supposed to be going to college for next year :]

Steven and I are getting married in just 2 more months now! hooray! =D

wow, anyway! I hope everyone is doing good and hope that all away spouses are safe and come home soon. <3

I posted this in the other military support thread but my brother in law (well, boyfriend's brother but i call him my brother in law) just got deployed yesterday. This morning he just got to Germany safely so he'll be on his way to Afghanistan today. His wife, (my sister in law) is an absolute wreck. Its the first time he was ever deployed. However her brother has been deployed before to Iraq but this is just heartbreaking for her. I'm trying to find the words but its just really hard to figure out what to say to her...

Well, I'm not the best person to be asking advice from about all this. But, maybe (if it's possible) you two could go on a "girls night out"? Take your minds off of things, maybe have some dinner and get a pedicure?

Just a thought.

Breathe out.

Hey everyone, I'm Kendra. Thought I'd introduce myself since I'll probably be reading/posting on here some.

As of right now, I'm dating a lovely gentleman named Richard. He's enlisted in the Marines, and will be going off to bootcamp May 30th-31st. Good ole' Parris Island! Just counting down the weeks now. It stinks that he leaves right around the time I get out of school for summer, and won't be back until I'm back in school. Oh well! Just the way it goes I guess. I'll still have a good summer. smile

No idea what the future holds, but I'd enjoy talking on here if you guys wouldn't mind. smile

Breathe out.

It would really depend if she decides to come home. She lives in Kansas and I live in Pennsylvania. I doubt she'll want to go out... she just had a baby. It is a great idea though and I hope she'll decide to come back and let everyone see baby. I know my boyfriend's parents think she should come back for a week or two before her maternity leave is over (if they didn't discharge her).

Well congrats on the "niece/nephew" confused lol.
Yeah, it'd probably be good for her to see them, but I understand if she doesn't.
Having a baby will be good for her, keep her busy. Babies are so precious.

Yeah I have no idea what she wants to do. Right now shes a wreck but its good she at least has the baby and the puppies to keep her company. Basically if she decides to come out shes either got to driver herself (she won't leave the dogs with anyone), or someone has to fly out and drive cross-country with her.

It's nice to meet you Kendra! I'm Kirstin. :]

I am so happy to hear that you're so positive about your boyfriend leaving! I wish I was more like that since the time flew by like lightning and I hardly had a chance to blink when my fiance was away at BCT =p Feel free to talk to me about anything if you need even though we come from different military branches! my fiance has been in for a year and i'll be enlisting into the RSP program after our marriage to start my own prep for BCT :]

Hello, Kirstin! How are you? smile

Well, some days I'm more positive than others...lol.
My stepdad works in the neighboring county as a teacher, and that's where a very popular Marine Base is, so a lot of people my stepdad works with, or kids he teach, all have military family members and such. In fact, my stepdad the other day talked to a Drill Instructor from Parris Island (where my boyfriend is going for Basic)! He was on leave and picking his kid up from school and my stepdad ended up having a nice conversation with him. The guy said his "hat was off" to anyone who joins with things like they are, and that the job my boyfriend is going in for was a good one and such. Made me happy to hear. :]

The thing I love about the millitary is how there are so many people involved. There's always someone out there going through the same thing.

That's awesome about you going in. I've thought about the military before, but, I don't really think it's my thing. I mean, women that are in it I'm all for, and that's a really kickarse job and such, but not for me. razz I'm considering becoming a Speech Therapist at the moment. Then again, my mind could always change. lol

No. When they joined the army they both got stationed in Kansas. All of their family is here in PA. While the neighbor's are really nice and everything they won't leave the dogs in their care. I wouldn't be surprised if she never lets them babysit the baby either. They would just send her a plane out here but she has the dogs but really it makes more sense to me to allow the dogs to fly in the kennel. She won't do that to the dogs though.....lol. So I guess if she wants to come out my boyfriend and I have to fly out and we have to take her and her car down here with 2 dogs and a baby. The puppies are pretty good since they've been on car rides, however get really excited when they see a McD's sign xd Or her brother and sister in law will fly out and drive her to North Carolina with them which honestly makes so much more sense to me. Her brother is also in the army and has been through a deployment already. So, her sister in law will be the perfect person to give her advice.
