The Military SO Support Thread

[twilightEDEN]

This thread was inspired by Plump lime green's post regarding being a military SO (significant other) heart and is dedicated to the women and men waiting for our troops at home.

It is hard to know that you won't be able to see your SO for months or sometimes more than a year. Not knowing when you'll be able to speak with them next, or if they are safe. It is never an easy thing to go through alone.

There are currently over 100,000 of our troops overseas who have left behind loved ones, sacrificing for the country's security.

So feel free to share problems, experiences, homecomings, pictures, or anything regarding being a military SO heart

Hello Everyone! i'm Plump Lime Green, as you can see haha.

I hope this thread will help everyone that is a Military SO! I and The other creators of this thread here for any military SO. Your not alone, dont forget that.

If you ever need support or have questions about any thing your welcome to Pm me and ask, and i'll help out as much as i can!

I am one of the few, the proud Military SO's.
I am one of the few Military Wives, Fiancee's, Girlfriends, Boyfriends, and Husbands.I stand proudly and strongly beside my Mililtary SO and support him or her and all he or she does. I am one of the few who are strong enough to love someone who I may at any time never be able to see againAnd yet I still stand by him or her.


I am one of the few who are willing enough to endure all I go through for the love of my SO.


Many miles come between on any given day and changes in plans are all to common but yet we still find ways around them the best that we can. We cry when they leave and smile so bright when they're back in our arms if even just for one night. We wait days to weeks to months just for that one little very few moment call just so we know that they are alright.


Many weeks to months and sometimes years go by without our loved ones here by our sides due to deployments, their missions that protect our verious ways of life.We don't ask for much just a few simple things.We just ask to be reconized once in a while.We pray each day that our loved ones get to come home, and for their safety most of all.


Even after all of this one thing still reamins and that is the love of and for our Militarys SO's.


In the end strong as we were, we come out even stronger.
We are the few, the proud Military SO's

There are only two pains in life. The pain of discipline,

One of my best friends is being deployed soon, and I'm rather afraid of losing him.

and the pain of regret.

No he hasn't but I knew it was coming.

While we were dating we were apart for about a year and a half. But then we could talk to eachother. Then once we were married he was gone for two weeks out of every month. He just got restationed and as soon as we got here he had to leave for about 3 months.

So I do know what it's like to have him gone. Just not for extended periods of time and he wasn't in harms way any of those times either. One of the biggest things I will have to get used to is not knowing when we will be able to talk.

Yes, that is hard. I've only had to be apart from my other for around 3 months at a time and can't imagine what a nearly year deployment time would feel like. Be strong, and we're here if you need us heart

My fiance is in the Army National Guard and spent 10 months in Iraq 3 years ago. He was gone for a total of 18 months due to some training beforehand. He may be going again in late 2009 or early 2010, possibly to Afghanistan.

One good thing is that he is in a medical support unit, so he is never on any front lines and maintains a medical facility for people to get non-emergency treatment or to be stabilized before being lifted to a larger hospital or to Germany.

It's incredibly difficult being away from your significant other and I always hated it when people compared it to a "long distance relationship". It's in no manner like that.

I've found I don't get along well with most "Army Wives". I'm very career minded and never want children, which seems to be pretty rare among military spouses.
