Loved this! It was sweet and very positive, and another good thing about it, you can relate to the historical pictures of soldiers returning from war to their families, wives, girlfriends, etc. after their service. And those are some of the most romantic and heartwarming pictures in our countries history.

And good luck and congratulations Gina!

Sara, I'm sorry you have such a cycnical view of some of the most stand-up men in our country. Of course, they aren't ALL angels, but what group of guys really are? I would hope you would learn to show respect for the people who choose to die for your right to say such awful things.

Kelly says:
Sat, 29th Aug 20099:49 pm 

I loved this article. I worked at a smoothie store and every single time a man in uniform came in, someone either in front of or behind them paid for their food. I'm against the war and believe we shouldn't be there, but I respect the men and women that are fighting and have fought there so much. It takes a very strong person to go out there, fight for democracy in another country, and come home. I send my blessing out to you and Gina and hope everything works out in the end.

ps: Sara can suck it.

Kayla – nice article! I have lots of friends/family who are military spouses, and it's not easy!

Sara – What's up with the dissin' on our military members? Maybe you don't agree with the war (I don't), but putting all military men (and women, for that matter) in a stereotypical category is nothing more than immature and ignorant.

I can name on two hands the amount of family and friends who chose career paths within the military. Several of my best friends in high school, who were in advanced placement and gifted education classes with me chose to join a branch of the military. Some of them couldn't decided what to do; some of them knew they wouldn't be able to afford college tuition; some of them wanted to follow in the family tradition, and even continue into pursing a career in the military. What's so wrong with those reasons for joining? I guess that vowing and risking your life to protect our country is just a ridiculous and selfish idea… wait, not.

As for "stupid welders" and people who have "other worthless job[s]"… SERIOUSLY? These people build the structures that we rely on, the automobiles that we drive and as the blue collar infrastructure of our society, help fuel our economy. I wonder what your job is? Surely, it must be something much more detrimental to the advancement of society.

"They also always have a bunch of tattoos which look like shit." What's that about? I know several military members who do not have tattoos. Once again, stereotypical generalizations.

"…and they have no class." Sweetheart, you just described yourself.

Megan says:
Sat, 29th Aug 200910:53 pm 

I just recently became an Army wife, and so I thought this was a great article.

My husband's in Iraq right now (we got married while he was on leave) and it's incredibly hard, but it's completely worth it.

And Sara (which is ironically the name of my husand's ex), honey, you're an idiot.

My husband is one of the most intelligent people I've ever met, he's amazing at his job, I weigh 105 pounds, I'm fucking hot, and I have somewhere around fifteen thousand dollars worth of diamonds on my ring finger.

So maybe you should rethink what you say about Army boys and the girls who date them.

kay, i really understand what u felt even though my man is not in heroic service. we were apart by fate. he is working far from me and open communication and voicing of feelings really matters to keep the relationship strong… i have fears that he will mess up with other gal… but i still keep faith and trust..

vicky says:
Sun, 30th Aug 20094:31 am 

sara – i understand where your coming from when you say they don't have an hs education etc.. but just keep in mind that thats not all the military is made up of. Those non hs graduates have a lot of training to do what they NEED TO DO. Also, the other half of the military are officers who have graduated college and gone through a tough four years of college juggling ROTC and school.

For example, my boyfriend now is about to finish a degree in mechanical and aerospace engineering, while waking up at the crack of dawn to do ROTC related things and will graduate and become a pilot in the air force.

So just to even out the playing field… i used to think like you. Because i didn't know, I didn't know details, who does what, and how the military works. Your view is a bit narrow minded.. and the girls posting here are all doing something very difficult by being with someone who is in the military.. its not easy AT ALL. All i ask is that you look at other branches and the military as a whole and form an educated opinion.

American Military Worship

criolle says:
Sun, 30th Aug 200912:19 pm 

OK, only 10% of the ENLISTED Military has less than a High School diploma BY LAW! I know this because I teach a GED course for the remainder.

The entire officer commissioned officer population has at least a BA/BS, unless they are "limited duty officers". Someone else can look up the percentage of the U.S. population that has a college degree.

Only 28% of the U.S. population can pass the ASVAB exam and QUALIFY to ENLIST. The rest of the population is either not smart enough to pass the test, or they have some sort of legal issue, or they do not medically qualify.

All of this puts our G.I.'s in the top 30% of our population and only 3-5% of the population ever serve. Literally, documented, the best and brightest are wearing our uniforms, risking their "lives, fortunes and sacred honors".

Congrats Kayla, you're dating the top 5% our country has to offer.

This is something Sara will never experience.

What bothers me is that only 17 of our congressmen and senators have ever worn a uniform. We have (at best) second best making our laws.

Casey says:
Sun, 30th Aug 200912:49 pm 

Actually sara, the military PAYS for people to go to college, and that's why a lot of people join it, so they CAN go to school. So they CAN get an education. Your opinions are extremely uneducated and just show that you have no idea what the American military entails.

Casey says:
Sun, 30th Aug 200912:54 pm 

Oh and Nora, I was going to say something about those jobs she listed as "worthless" but I didn't need to cause you already had. Seriously, the amount of ignorant people we have in this country is absurd!

Jacqui says:
Sun, 30th Aug 200911:02 pm 

Sara i believe you need a rethink, like all organisations in the world the army has a variety of people. My sister could have gone to any university she liked but chose to join the army.

Anyway there is more to people than how smart they are and I appreciate and respect anyone that can thrive in a defence environment. I'm certainly proud of servicemen and servicewomen regardless of how dumb you think they are.

Kayla,

Amazing post! It was so sweet and heartfelt. (You're an excellent writer, too). You go, girl!

P.S. Tell your boyfriend "thank you" for me. For his dedication, his patriotism, his bravery, everything. And major props to you, too, for also possessing these qualities. :]

Sara says:
Mon, 31st Aug 200912:16 pm 

Criolle- Yeah, you are right. The idiotic army is getting their ass kicked in Iraq and Afghanistan. Great job.

Sara is funny says:
Tue, 1st Sep 20098:34 am 

Sara- I definitely don't support the war but it's hard not to have reverence for anyone (be it military, air force, whatever) who commits such a selfless act. You know, not everyone has everything handed to them in life; some people need to work for $$, education, and opportunities. Moving on…I wish they would strap a defunct helmet onto that oversized head of yours and send your overpriviledged, self-entitled, dumb ass to the front of the line…now that would be something to celebrate! BTW- your ludicrous views are pure comedy if the reader can get past the ignorance.

Tue, 1st Sep 20091:08 pm 

Okay Sara….I mean this totally and emphaticly Fuck You. My 32 year old husband is an officer in the Army and is currently in Iraq. Since you are totally ignorant officer means he had a degree before entering in the Army. He is a combat engineer which means his job is to find and defuse bombs before they kill others, he has done so much more to save lives than your hateful self can even think of.

I wish people would thank my husband like this article says or do a small king gesture to let him know he is appreciated. If you want to do something for soldiers go to adoptaussoldier.org and send supplies to soldiers in need. I can tell you from personal experience it really means alot to the men and women over there.

criolle says:
Tue, 1st Sep 20093:09 pm 

Wrong, Sara in so many ways. The problem is you are fighting on an emotional level and the others are talking about facts.

The Army has done quite a fine job in Iraq. For the record, at least 30,000 of the troops in-country have been NAVY!

This past election in Iraq, the NATIONAL parties won most of the positions and the RELIGION parties got their asses handed to them. That means democracy has taken root.

Another note, more Americans died summer of '08 in CHICAGO than in IRAQ. Almost twice as many. That's just one U.S. city which happens to be Obama's home town. Not bad for men who are "getting their asses kicked".

You're dating a technician. Sara G and Kayla have experienced dating manhood. "Take me, take a soldier. Take a soldier, take a King". See who is happy in five years.

If you can stop shrieking long enough.

Tue, 1st Sep 20097:19 pm 

I am an officer in the army. I serve in the infantry. Sara that is the fighting force of the U.S. Arrmy. while you say that officers never go to the front lines, I command and fight with my soldiers on the front lines. And while you are saying that enlisted are complete wastes I would like you to know one of my friends soldiers just got out of the army to go to harvard. HARVARD. he was enlisted. But if you think you are better than all these men fighting for you are more than welcome to join us on a combat patrol. I will personally ensure you get your own MRAP and find a IED for you to roll over.

Sara says:
Tue, 1st Sep 20098:56 pm 

So this is how an officer in the army writes? Lord help us. No wonder our army is getting embarrassed in Iraq and Afghanistan. Why don't you do your job and quit running your mouth? Failure shouldn't be an option. Get your ass back to Iraq and finish the job before you get dishonorably discharged private. Ten four over and out. (I had to speak in dumb ass talk, aka army talk, for you to be able to comprehend college level grammer).

criolle says:
Tue, 1st Sep 200910:56 pm 

"Over" means "answer". "Out" means "do not answer".

That's standard radio terminology, not military.

Fail.

Sara you have to be the MOST disrespectful person I have ever met. How do you not realize that what your saying is rude on so many levels? You say our military men are stupid? Look at yourself! No one who has even the slightest bit of some brains knows that our guys go through months and months of training to know all that they know to protect our country, THE ONE YOU LIVE IN! My boyfriend is in the army and I am neither ugly nor fat. You obviously haven't been in many relationships to know that just hearing his voice and knowing that he loves me means just as much as him being here all the time. Yes I miss him. That is obvious. But when I do get to see him, I agree with Kayla, it is SO worth it. So until you have been in the shoes of a solider or a military girlfriend/fiance/wife, SHUT UP! You are the only one who thinks like that. Go live somewhere else. We don't want you here.

"Veterans are more likely to be bums on the side of the road than make at least 6 figures in their career. They are worthless. "

Sadly, many veterans do come home to nothing when they have completed their honorable and selfless acts, all because people like you Sara, do not honor them as they should be.

It's sad that after putting their lives on the line for us, they come home and are quickly forgotten and shoved aside.

I do also hope that instead of being the cold, ruthless person you appear to be, you are instead an idiot who has no life and is choosing to waste time by posting comments you know will receive responses. I only hope this is true, because it is disheartening to think someone could feel that way towards our heroic military members.

gee says:
Wed, 2nd Sep 20094:22 pm 

Sara is forgetting she's commenting negatively about the men and women who protect her right to say that. If she thinks they're so dumb, maybe she should go serve in their place. I'd be happy to see my brother (and your husband) stay home and safe and send an ignorant ingrate in his place! If she has such a problem with our military, she could leave our country.

Kayla – Thanks for supporting your boyfriend who's supporting the country I live in and love as well as all of our rights. More men and women should be like you two (and most of the people commenting here)!

Kristen says:
Wed, 2nd Sep 20097:48 pm 

Thank you for writing this article; I found it immensely touching, and you really hit the nail on the head. My whole relationship with my husband has been long distance, since his base is two and half hours away from my college, across state lines. And every bit of it has been completely worth it. We were married in December and he just deployed to Afghanistan this July. He’s an E4 in the Infantry and I couldn’t be more proud of him, even though I don’t always agree with the politics of the Army.

There are many things about the Army I don’t like, sure, but I understand and utterly respect the hard work and sacrifice that each soldier and their families has to make. And there are many positive aspects to him being enlisted– the fact that he’ll be able to afford getting his degree once he gets out is massive. And, because he’s in the Army, we will have a chance to create savings, pay off our debts (especially my student loans), and hopefully even be able to travel once he gets out… more than you can say for most young couples our age without trust funds.

Also… it costs quite a lot of time, effort, and money to physically and mentally equip just one soldier in the Infantry to be battle-ready. And that’s not even including vehicles, fuel, ammunition, weapons, uniforms and gear, food, living accommodations… the list goes on. Their lives aren’t cheap in monetary or human value just because they’re not safely sitting behind a desk in the Pentagon or flying a jet.

Every single day, I know I could get that knock on my door and find out that he’s been horribly injured, or worse. But he’s doing the job that few can or will– and consider also that his main purpose in Afghanistan is to help train the Afghan Army, enforce the border, and protect the citizens from Taliban violence– especially during their recent election just a few weeks ago.

As for stereotypes– they’re a lazy way to view the world and speak volumes about the character of those whom so eagerly subscribe to them. My husband is educated, intelligent, handsome, creative, trustworthy, and one of the most giving, loving people I’ve ever met. When he gets out of the Army, he’ll be 22– hardly “too old” for college. And considering how few Americans actually do graduate with degrees, how can anyone going to college be considered a waste? (Being in the Army doesn’t guarantee you college placement; the GI Bill simply helps cover expenses, fyi.) Furthermore, I go to college with people of all backgrounds and beliefs, from 17-year-olds to 60-year-olds, and I think it’s incredible. There is no cut-off age for learning.

Truly, it’s fine to be ignorant of the fine details of Army life, and it’s never wrong to hold your own opinions, but consider employing tactfulness in relaying those opinions to others. Preaching to the choir for the most part, I realize. But this thread reeks of arrogance and borderline-fascism. Hopefully you find a more constructive way of blowing off steam in the future.

Sara is probably really a dude who is too fat or scrawny and was rejected from the Army. Sara, how do you have that much time and negative energy to reply to every single response someone has? Do you even have a job or go to school? I'd say you're the worthless one if you're on the internet this much.

Nora says:
Thu, 3rd Sep 20098:14 am 

I commented after this was first posted… and I've been watching the comments, just reading responses.

I've decided the best way for Sara to understand her worth on this post is simple: ignorance.

She's being fueled by our rash back-comments. Just ignore her, and she'll have nothing more to say.

Jess says:
Fri, 4th Sep 20097:17 am 

Ugh, I know I shouldn't reply to Sara because she is just ignorant but I can't help it! Sara: In order to join the Army or any branch of the military you must meet certain requirements. This includes having a high school diploma (in some exceptions a GED), passing physical exams, passing drug tests, and scoring well enough on the ASVAB. There are also restrictions on things such as felonies and criminal behavior. Therefore, there are many people in the country who are not qualified to join the Army. Men and women in the Army are earning a living and being PRODUCTIVE members of society. They are not on unemployment or welfare. I also don't see them on college candy criticizing self-entitled ignorant people.

Although it is none of your business, my father is retired Army and has a college education. He probably makes more money than you ever will – the military is great for making certain connections and working with highly advanced technologies. My husband is in the Air Force and I was also in the Air Force myself. I have a BS in Psychology as well as an associate's degree. I am now starting my Master's degree. Obviously you know very little about the ins and outs of the US military. Do you even understand how tough it is to attend and complete a degree at West Point or the Air Force Academy? Perhaps you should use the excessive time you have on your hands on something more positive and productive than criticizing heroes.

Hannah says:
Fri, 4th Sep 20097:19 am 

Kayla, as a new Navy wife, I really appreciate this post. Thank you for sharing this. Hopefully your words will comfort another struggling military wife down the road.

Meanwhile… Sara, your words are hurtful and disrespectful. While I really want to be the bigger person and ignore you, I just can't do that. So while my husband and so many others are out defending your sorry life and your right to live in a free country, I will defend them. Your uneducated and ignorrant attitude makes me sick. My husband is extremely intelligent and is getting his college degree (for free) while on active duty in the Navy. If you have such a problem with the way our military works, I ask that you please take the Proud Soldier above up on his invitation and join him on his combat patrol.

Rosie says:
Fri, 4th Sep 20099:46 am 

Criolle: I appreciate that you hold our military personnel in such high esteem, but I'm troubled by your ableist assumption that an individual medically unfit to serve in the military cannot be one of the "best" in the country. A medical condition or disability may disqualify an individual from serving in the military, but it doesn't make them any less qualified to serve their country in other, less physical ways (like becoming a member of Congress). I agree that the military includes many talented and amazing individuals, but let's not automatically exclude other talented and amazing individuals that, due to circumstances beyond their control, are unable to serve!

…

I really liked the article, by the way.

Disregarding all of Sara's preceding posts (as her ignorance and disrespect deserves no recognition in the form of replies), I would like to acknowledge all the military wives/girlfriends/fiances/family members/soldiers who have commented on my article. Your words and appreciation are the reason I wrote this piece. Not only was it artistically therapeutic for me to express my feelings, this article helped to give military loved ones a voice that I don't believe CollegeCandy offers. Thank you all for having read and supported this article. I would love to hear more of your stories and any suggestions you may have for future articles (it an be anything!). And again, thank you all!

Wow Sarah you definitely have issues! I can't help but laugh at how ridiculous you sound! It is so funny that you think so highly of yourself. Obviously you have NO life since you’re constantly posting "well educated" comments! Please do yourself a favor and seek help because your hate seems so much deeper than your dislike for the Army!! I'm sure the highlight of your day/week/month is reading people's comments towards you. You have a pretty miserable life, sucks to be you! By the way I am laughing at you while writing this!! HAHAHAHAHA!!!! Get a life loser!!

Sara says:
Sat, 5th Sep 200910:33 pm 

Jas: Your comment can't even be taken seriously due to your name. Jas??!?!? Wow. Your parents obviously meant to abort your birth with naming you something as subhuman as that. That sounds like a name for a dog.

I obviously have made several outstanding points of how dumb the losers in the army are, that is why people are bitching about it. Don't hate on me for stating what everything knows. You are the one who needs to seek help for even thinking what I said wasn't right. That is insane.

Sara says:
Sat, 5th Sep 200910:39 pm 

criolle johnny: Some predator would have picked me off by this point? What the hell are you talking about loser soldier???? In the real world, people don't go "picking off" people and are not army grunts who have a lower IQ than a pile of dogshit. It is good that some people are so fucking dumb that they actually believe being in the army is something to be proud of and is something positive because the United States can't afford to lose any lives of people who matter in our country. The undesirables and wastes of life who fight in the army can be lost and it will have zero impact on the country. In fact, it would just improve the country to have them out of everyone's sight. They are worthless scum.

Ed says:
Sun, 6th Sep 20094:14 am 

Sara makes a lot of good points. Most of the guys I talk to would not be in if there were better options for a steady paycheck and gratuitous benefits than what was offered by the military. Out of the two dozen or so guys I talked to, not one of them thinks either war has any merit either.

I respect their courage and them because they are people. Sara doesn't seem like she does and that is her perogative. But the idea that they are protecting anybody's freedoms is actually a very dangerous myth sold to us by the many groups that are profiteering from these wars.

Cara says:
Sun, 6th Sep 20094:45 am 

Whoa. This Sara chick is out of control. She calls people in the Army "the undesirables". Sounds like she's a genocide promoting hate monger to me. I wonder how she feels about other races and religions. If she thinks regular people in the Army are so worthless then I would hate to hear how she feels about mentally retarded or sick individuals. Since they are not "contributing" to society does that make them "undesirables" as well? I'm sure her hate will backfire on her, you are right criolle johnny.

Eresbel says:
Sun, 6th Sep 20093:07 pm 

Criolle, I am perfectly comfortable having so few military officers in our Congress. The Pentagon and the military demand the most money from the national budget – it is BECAUSE of the army that we are so in debt. I'm not saying that the military isn't necessary, but one is not automatically a saint if one joins and it is not cheap to have one.

And I also have to say that it seems like Army/military relationships are inherently all give and no take on the part of the person who isn't in the military. I would hate being secondary to my partner – to be subject to his job, his bosses, to move on command, to have to continually be supportive. There is a long history of domestic violence in military relationships, with the military protecting its own at the expense of the victim. There is a long history of sexism towards the partners of soldiers.

Being the wife or girlfriend of someone in the army sounds demeaning and subservient. Not to mention the fact that your boyfriend or husband kills people for a living.

Don't Bother. says:
Sun, 6th Sep 20093:49 pm 

I don't really understand why anyone is even arguing with Sara. Seriously, she's just trying to get a rise out of you all. The ignorant cunt OBVIOUSLY has such an expansive knowledge of the military, and military personnel that she feels the need to share it with us all on the internet, lol

And ugh, Eresbel, you sound like one of those dumb shit Feminazis. You could have had a legitimate argument if you didn't add in your ignorant Lifetime Movie bullshit (wah wah, demeaning and subservient, wah wah). God, I feel like you just set all females back one hundred years -_-

Jess says:
Sun, 6th Sep 20094:15 pm 

Eresbel: I was in the military and now I am a military spouse, not to mention that my father is retired military. I have experienced less sexism when dealing with the military than when dealing with the civilian world. Also, the military requires classes and preventative courses on sexism, sexual harassment, and sexual assaults. This training is like every six months if not more frequently. SO please don't talk about sexism in the military if you don't know. That show Army Wives or whatever is FICTION. I have experienced more sexism just living in the south so please don't talk about subjects you don't really know about and really just see in movies or on TV.

Jess says:
Sun, 6th Sep 20094:19 pm 

Also Eresbel, people in the military do not kill people for a living. That is a generalized and ignorant statement. Sure there is infantry, but there are numerous other jobs such as medics who actually SAVE people. There are also doctors and nurses in the military. Even dentists and chaplains. I don't think the dentists and chaplains are going around killing people…

Sara says:
Sun, 6th Sep 20096:10 pm

Military men aren't don't have any other skills to do any career besides construction, being a welder, or some other worthless job that needs no education. If you think that is desirable, you are a fucking idiot. Oh wait, you are a fucking idiot.

Sara says:
Sun, 6th Sep 200910:32 pm 

Furthermore, everyone has agreed that people in the army are dumb fucks who were too stupid to go to college, so they enlisted in the army. They are worthless to society and nobody gives a shit about the undesirables dying in Iraq and Afghanistan. There will never be a military draft for this reason. The people who matter in society can't be at risk for being killed in war. That is why all of the undesirables enlist and die, because if they die, nobody is affected negatively. I am so happy everyone is in full agreement with what I have stated.

Sara's Cunt says:

Excuse me, Sara!? That is ridiculous stereotyping! My father just retired from the army after twenty years of service. He also earned his masters while he was in Iraq. Stupid? I think not. Where are you in your life? Do you have a masters? Have you devoted your life to keeping America and it's citizens safe?

I didn't think so.

I totally agree with you, my boyfriend and I have been together now for 9 months and he has been deployed twice since then. Sometimes there are periods of no communication, where I have no idea what he is doing, where he is at, or if he's ok. Still that does not change how I feel about him. I think it does make someone a stronger person, sure i'm sad and cry when he leaves but I am an independent person. We each live our own lives, but love one another, and long distance relationships may require a bit more effort but they are totally worth it.

For Eresbel

Despite Sara's comments I think the one you made offended me the most. I have been and Air Force spouse for five years and counting. Never in all those years have I ever been "secondary" or "subservient" in my life or my marriage. I'm not going to deny that in some families that is the case, but these particular choices or non choices are found in families across the world. NOT just military families. Haveing plans and vacations interrupted by a career is not exclusive to the military.

I think what tends to ruffle feathers the most is the semi implied that you "have" to respect us and what we do, you "must" honor that we defend America and what it stands for.We are people. We get up every day and go to work, come home and do it all over again the next day. You don't have to repect my family, you don't have to honor us. This is my life and every day I live it.

Sara says:
Mon, 7th Sep 20096:05 pm 

Dont bother: LMFAO!!!!! Sorry that I added an extra word in my 500th comment on this issue. What a terrible thing for me to do. You are an idiot. Hahahaha. Nice try.

Mon, 7th Sep 20097:51 pm 

Eresbel,

What you said is very insulting don't be talking about something you don't have any knowledge or experience about!

Both my cousin and his wife both serve in the military. They love their job and it's only made their bond stronger. They just had a beautiful boy and I couldn't be more proud of them. They are an inspiration to me and to everyone that if a military couple ( who were both deployed at the same time both in Irag and Afghanistan ) can make it. There's a chance that I might have the same thing. I love them dearly for what they sacrificed for our country. I stand behind them 110%. Anyone who doesn't can go jump off the nearest bridge for all I care.

“That is why there are so many 30+ year old college students taking up space in college because they were army rejects”. Wow on top of your ignorance on the military you also don’t know how to read (or use proper grammar for that matter as evident in ALL of your ridiculous comments, not just your “500th”). I said people join the military to put themselves through college. They do not wait until they are out of the military. Often they do it simultaneously. This means they go to school while they are still, in your opinion, young enough to be there. The “old people” that you see in college are usually there because they had kids right out of high school or in high school and are just now able to go back and get their education. Despite that, who cares if they are 30 when they are going to college? It just proves you wrong that they aren’t worthless wastes of space, because they are doing something with their lives (oh and it also proves you wrong because they didn’t “die because they are worthless and deserve too” or whatever twisted idea you have of people in general.

It’s really amazing to me that people like you can be proven wrong over and over and still enjoy the embarrassment. I will never understand how someone’s ego can be so big that they can be so wrong and still be so proud of their unsubstantiated comments. And the fact that you reply so much just proves your worthlessness, you don’t see the men in Iraq or Afghanistan on the internet making hateful comments, oh yeah, that’s right, because they have jobs! I’m so glad you agree with me! please go get a life and contribute something to society besides your hate. Thank you! I’m so glad you listened to me.

Casey says:
Tue, 8th Sep 20099:38 am 

Oh I forgot to mention, when you replied with this "“That is why there are so many 30+ year old college students taking up space in college because they were army rejects” to my comment that the military pays for college, how can you be an army reject and the army is still paying for you to go to school when you're 30+? How old are you? Have you ever passed a reading comprehension test? Because that just doesn't even make sense. The army pays for army rejects to go to college when they are 30? Not only do you have no idea what you're talking about, but you're just plain stupid as well! (not to mention you've made "500" posts stating the exact same thing over and over again. If you had any clue what you were talking about you would have more of an argument then, "the military is worthless")

Ayla says:
Tue, 8th Sep 20097:44 pm 

everyone but Sara: STOP FEEDING THE TROLL

troll: I’m having a hard time comprehending your motivations here. Are you really that bored? Or do you derive some kind of psychological pleasure in getting a rise out of the little people that live in your computer? Because if that’s the case, I gotta say, you’re doing it all wrong. See, I like to argue quite a bit myself, and you know what really makes it satisfying? When I win through LOGIC. So far, you have exhibited none. If you insist on getting your rocks off by insulting random people on the internet, at least use some recognizable rhetorical technique! (translation, as I suspect you aren’t actually educated enough to understand what I just said: read a book, you silly twit).

Sara says:
Tue, 8th Sep 20099:35 pm 

Ayla: LMFAO!!!! Haha. You are funny. Since when is stating correct facts that everyone agrees with, something that is wrong to do? What the fuck are you talking about??????? The people who disagree with me are in the periphery of society and are social outcasts who nobody gives a shit about. It is so great that the community college rejects on here have the audacity to question my authority on this issue. I just laugh my ass off at how dumb you are. No wonder you are dating losers in the army. Get a fucking clue morons!!!! You are at a community college for a reason dumbfucks.

Sara says:
Tue, 8th Sep 20099:41 pm 

Casey- You are questioning my comment writing skills? Hahahaha. I think you forgot your meds today. The only losers who date guys in the army are poor, unattractive, and fat girls who are worthless to society. What is even worse than being physically repulsive though, is that they often get pregnant with kids to further ugly society with their piece of shit genetics.

All girls who date/marry losers in the army should be forced to get their tubes tied like the animals they are. They can't be trusted to not create even more filthy worthless scum, so this is a great solution to ensure that their genetics stop when they die. There is no room in society for worthless people like them. They make everyone sick. I am so happy that you are in full and complete agreement with my correct analysis on this issue Casey. Thank you.

Allison says:

Sara,

Just go to hell. You have no life if you are trying to argue over a subject you know nothing about, and arguing about it most likely drunk.

You make no sense.

Kaylee says:
Wed, 9th Sep 20095:25 am 

In all honesty, I really don't think Sara knows what she's talking about….She's probably someone who was never taught respect, morals or responsibility……Someone like Sara does not come up with thoughts like this on their own, it comes from who raised them and what they were taught during that time……I really feel sorry for Sara because she'll never know the true pride and respect that us military girlfriends feel, not just for our boyfriends/husbands but also for every member or the United States Army, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard and Navy.

Thank you Kayla for this. It really meant a lot to me and every other military girlfriend and spouse out there……Yes, we have to deal with people like Sara (who are the real people that should be on the front lines) but it's the bond between us military spouses that make comments like hers obsolete.

I'm so proud of my Army Soldier who is currently stationed in Afghanistan and will hopefully be home in March.

Kaylee says:
Wed, 9th Sep 20095:41 am 

Oh, and one more thing….. If you'll take the chance to look around, most military girls are not ugly because their personality has to be outstanding (in order to deal with people like Sara) and that's part of what makes them beautiful……. We have to deal with so much more as a military girlfriend/spouse than you will probably ever have to deal with in your lifetime.

Lindsey says:
Wed, 9th Sep 20095:53 am 

Sara – i have no idea where you are coming from. take a look at the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. it is one of the most difficult schools in the COUNTRY to get in to, and it breeds soldiers. i grew up in Annapolis and my family sponsored midshipmen the entire time we lived there. The first mid we sponsored, a girl might i add, is now the first woman certified and selected to fly v 22 osprey helos. this article is all about her. http://www.vanceairscoop.com/story.php?story_id=9…. i dont understand why you feel it is necessary to generalize and talk down the men AND women that fight for your freedom every single day. my boyfriend graduated as his high school's valedictorian, and was offered academic and athletic scholarships to some of the highest ranked universities in the country, but he has chosen to enter the military and fight for me, his mother, his 2 little brothers, his baby sister, and the family we will soon have. just take a few mintes and read up on the thousands of people who died overseas for you, and then come talk to me about how they are uneducated and worthless members of society.

kayla – thank you so much for writing this and showing people how incredible it is to be a military girlfriend. i love my soldier and i love being in a relationship with a soldier. i know that he fights for me every day. yes, it is tough being apart from him for long periods of time, and occasionally i do feel lonely, but i know its worth it in the end, and when i do get to see him and i am wrapped up in his arms for the first time in months, it is the best feeling in the world. i realize why i fell in love with him every time and when i see him smile and cry tears of joy from missing me so much, i couldnt ask for anything more and i cant imagine being with anyone but a soldier.

he does look pretty sexy in that uniform too.

Casey says:
Wed, 9th Sep 20098:10 am 

Yeah Sara, I am questioning your comment writing skills, or should I say, lack there of. You write like you're in fifth grade, and with your highly underdeveloped sense of "intelligence" I'd say you can't be much older than eleven.

And why did you start talking about girls who date army guys in your response to me? That wasn't what I asked you to respond too. You never once responded to the question I asked you (I should have known you didn't know the answer, you haven't known what you're talking about since post 1) So Sara, answer the question. Why would the military pay for military rejects to go to college when they are 30+? Why would an organization pay for someone who was never a member to go to college? Oh and when you answer the question, make sure you provide the source where you got your information. You'll learn more about providing sources in high school. But since you obviously haven't learned it yet, for any argument you make you must provide some sort of credible source, otherwise what you say has no substance (like your previous, completely useless, "502" comments). So Sara, can you answer the question? Or would the fifth grader prefer to back out now and stop making completely useless comments on a college aged site? Yeah that's what I thought. I'm so glad you agree with me Sara! Come back when you're old enough to form intelligent conversations.

Britt says:
Wed, 9th Sep 200911:24 am 

This is hilarious! I fell on this conversation accidently. Sara can’t be a real person. There can’t possibly be someone so ignorant and pathetic. I feel bad for someone who has such a pointless life that they sit around blogging all day to annoy people. Poor thing has no life. Shoot, we should feed her as bait for terrorists so we can get rid of her. Anyways, someone needs to let her know that nobody wants her in this country anyway. What a selfish person.

Kharissa says:
Wed, 9th Sep 200911:48 am 

It's fairly obvious that Sara does not have the required set of logic and reasoning skills to function in society. We should just feel sorry for her and leave her alone.

Casey says:
Wed, 9th Sep 20095:18 pm 

Wow! really!? Just, wow! Sweetie, "army rejects" means "someone who is rejected from the army" if you meant "societal rejects" then that's what you should have said because they are not the same thing. So YOU are the moron since you clearly can't even put simple phrases together. Good job!

Oh and this, "Can’t you read between the lines and make the connection between army people serving their time AND THEN GOING TO COLLEGE AT 30 LIKE I FUCKING STATED?!?!??!?!?!!?" doesn't even make sense. What "connection"? What are you talking about?! You, are an idiot! I guess you really are in fifth grade.

Thu, 10th Sep 20097:20 am 

Haha! Just keep digging yourself in that hole Sara. I know plenty of people who did school and the military simultaneously (and SHOCKER! BEFORE THEY WERE 30!) let me see, my manager, who needs a BA to even be a manager, he's been to Iraq twice and he's 24 with a BA, my father got his BA at 23 while he was in the Navy, two of my boyfriends best friends are in the marines while simultaneously getting their AA's. It's just so hilarious how much you post about a topic you know absolutely nothing about! Hahahahahahahahahahaha! Seriously, I can't stop laughing at how stupid you're making yourself sound. Ha Pathetic! I'm so glad you agree with me

Becca- Clarion Unive says:
Thu, 10th Sep 200911:37 am 

okay… first off… brilliant article…

second off, Casey, honey, there's no use in telling her about anyone in any branch of the military… she's only obsessed with the army… leading me to believe she's got some serious daddy issues…

third, Sara, you see to have come from an area like mine where there is truthfully a problem with people not being able to get into college and therefore joining the armed forces.

My ex boyfriend (who is only an ex because I've got six years of college ahead of me and he's constantly being moved around. once I graduate… we'll look into getting back together) He is army, and along with being army he is also proficient in over 6 languages. That's his job to be a linguist.

One of my best friends is Army. She did four years of college getting her degree in psychology. she then did two years in iraq, and is now going back to school for her masters in psychology while continuing ROTC every morning, and intending to go back for two more years after she finishes her masters.

Both are Army. Keep in mind, that my ex, was not only accepted to Harvard Law, he was also accepted at Oxford. He turned them both down because he wants to be able to provide for a family in the future, so as to not have his future children grow up in an area like we did.

I had a 4.0 in high school, I got a fantastic score on my SATs and yet, When I graduate from college, I don't expect to have any more career options than my ex, and my best friend.

And Sara, Obviously everyone agrees with you, which is why they so vehemently reply to you. oh yeah… and you might want to look over your 500 comments. because half the time you contradict yourself… just saying.

Michelle says:
Fri, 11th Sep 200912:57 pm 

It's sad to see people that believe in stereotypes. I dated an Army man, and he believed in enlisting because of 9/11 and protecting the country. He would have gone to college, but he opted to go and fight. He's getting out of the Army soon and will be pursuing his college career. He's absolutely smart and has great logic skills. I've met some other guys in other branches of the military that are serving and going to college at the same time. My main point is you cannot stereotype these guys. I've known so many great guys in all branches of the military and absolutely support them.

Nora says:
Sun, 13th Sep 20091:45 pm 

Wow… I re-stumbled across this on the most commented… I was one of the first to comment, and now we're at about 93 (well, now, 94) comments.

It's sorta pathetic that some people will waste time being flamers on the Internet. But it's okay. I just wish that you'd spend that time doing something proactive.

I guess that's what's really wrong with America today – not the military, not the war, not racism or abortion, etc., but the fact that so many will spend hours online defending their beliefs, but are too afraid to get out and do it in person.

And the time that they spend doing harm to others – verbally or psychologically, is time they could spend doing something POSITIVE.

Best wishes to all, both sides of the debate

I normally don’t post comments on things like this but people can be so horribly opinionated due to ignorance, it sickens me.

I am with Elizabeth on this one – everything that has come from Sara’s twisted mind has been unnerving (as well as uneducated) to say the least, but nothing she’s said has offended me more than Eresbel’s comment. I’m not going to sit and argue the ridiculous uber-feministic statements; I can speak from experience (rather than from poorly informed opinions) when I say my role in my military relationship is nowhere near a “subservient” one. What an old-fashioned and strange view you have. A soldier’s loved ones are what holds them together. We are what keeps them going when they feel they can’t push any further. We are the core of their strength. Nothing about us is subservient or secondary. We equally share the allegorical ‘pants’ in the relationship. I find it very sad that you to feel it would be a chore to constantly support someone. Have you ever loved anyone? It comes naturally, not with force. I support my soldier wholeheartedly – just the same as I would for any one of my loved ones. Also, I would hope you don’t really think anyone actually joins the military in hopes of killing someone. None of those soldiers go into war hoping to take lives. However, sometimes these types of things must be done. What would you do in the face of danger? Stand there and let someone kill you? I highly doubt it. (Please don’t anyone take this as me agreeing with the war, because in no way do I agree with sending our fellow men and women into countries full of so much hatred.. but that is neither here nor there right now). Another thing that also stood out to me in your comment is the fact that you’re placing most of the blame for the country’s massive debt on the Army. What a silly remark. The Army doesn’t just up and decide to deploy. They don’t declare wars with countries. They don’t even really get to decide what their funding is being spent on. The men and women of our government make those calls. Maybe if we had some more service members in office, better decisions would be being made. It is financially beneficial to the government, not to the military and certainly not to the people, when our country is at war. So please at least have your facts straight when voicing your opinion.

To anyone opposed to military members and their relationships, I challenge you to step into their or our shoes just once. I have no doubt your opinions would be swayed once you experience things from our points of view.

And to anyone who doesn’t support our soldiers/airmen/sailors, I have just one thing to say to you:
If you don’t stand behind our troops, please be my guest to stand in front of them!

Mon, 14th Sep 20096:25 am 

obviously sara doesnt have any idea what she is talkin about. intelligence doesnt always mean getting straight A's in ur math exams. to be in the army one needs to be physically and medically fit, keen awareness(which requires lots of intelligence especially in the battlefields), and hell lotta courage. sara, dont just have a narrow view on intelligence (hope ur intelligent enough to understand that).

psychologists have divided "human intelligence" into 8 different parts, and "body kinesthetics" is one of them. it means being physically fit and performing in sports and other tough physical activities better than others. i doubt Einstein would ever be able to fire a gun. but that doesnt make him retarted does it? or look at the top soccer players(im a soccer guy) in the world. they dont have much of an education but u wudnt call them retarded wud u?

maybe most of the army guys doesnt have the highest degree of academic qualifications but that doesnt necessarily make them dumb. the level of academic education they have acquired is gud enuff for them to prosper in their field. so plz dont call them retards. cuz its kinda retarded of u to think that retards are capable of firing guns and keeping composure in the battlefield

Sara: Funny how your calling soldiers losers, and saying they have no education when your the one whose been wasting your time commenting on this page for, what, 10 or 11 days now?? And you keep claiming how your better than everyone, your upper class, whatever, but you fail to state what it is you do thats so great. Did you go to college? Hell did you even graduate from high school? I think your just some little girl who has no life starting arguments, just like all the stupid little kids do on youtube comments. Honestly honey, an upper class individual would not be wasting there time posting pointless comments. You say soldiers have no class, but you don't seem to realize how lower class your acting. And quit saying your so glad that everyone agrees with you when obviously nobody does. You obviously have no clue what your talking about.

And for your information, I have a great education, I own 3 restaurants and a gym. I'm probably more successful than you'll ever be, and it all happened BECAUSE I joined the Army Bitch! So don't hate on people that you have no clue about! And by the way, I didn't go to college when I was 30 (as if that matters anyway. Who cares how old you are when you go to college!) I started college when I was 22 thankyou very much! Get a clue Bitch!!

Phyllis says:
Tue, 15th Sep 20094:54 am 

Thank you to the Mod for cleaning up the page. Sara, I am not affiliated with the Army in any way, nor do I know anyone who has been in it. I just want you to know I am sorry for whatever happened that made you feel this way. I'm not here to agree with you or deny what you're saying. I'm not here to throw hate in your face. Whether it was a rough breakup, your dad died in the service, whatever the case may be that made you this angry, I'm very sorry. Once that kind of seed is planted deep, it tears at a person and makes them see only the problem and the pain it is causing. I'll think of you often and hope that someday that seed removes itself because you, like everyone else, deserves to be happy, not resentful. That's a horrible way to live. I hope you find a deep love, a passion for life, and a selfless group of friends I hope you and your friends can all be supporters for each other. Take care of yourself.

JohnnyBravo says:
Mon, 21st Sep 20095:52 pm 

Hmmm, I have a BA in writing. I have $200,000 invested in the last 8 years and it is growing (Even in this stagnant economy). I make $30+ an hour except when I am getting E-7 pay on top of my $30+ an hour. I am guaranteed health care now and when retired for myself and my family. I will receive three separate retirement checks. What is left of my G.I. Bill (that would be college money, Sara)I can gift to my wife (who has her Masters from Purdue University) or my children for their college education. Oh yeah, and I will retire with full benefits at 56 which is 6 years earlier than the US norm.

BTW (That's what you hip youngsters would type nowadays, right? BTW?), "your" top 5% trust me enough to work on their multi-million dollar equipment. But then again, I am just a dummy. I had to have my 8 year old daughter type this. Well, that part isn't true.

For those of you who care to know I had no idea these benefits were there when I started. I, like many other young men and women, am a patriot who had no idea what I wanted to do when I "grew up." So, I joined the military. Fortunately, those who love and care for us have ensured that, while we protect all of you, we are in turn protected.

With that being said, thank you Kayla for a wonderful article. My wife loved it. But I also want to thank you Sara for being the catalyst that made all these wonderful people speak up and remind me yet again that while I have made many mistakes in my life, joining the United States Armed Forces is not counted among them.

Tue, 22nd Sep 20099:47 pm 

I'm not claiming to be an expert but all the information I've ever received about what it's like to be the spouse or girlfriend of someone in the military (while NOT also being in the military) is that it is rife with problems, a heck of a lot of sexism, and in no way an ideal situation. I can point you to a recent article I read (one of many) written by an army wife and the sexism and problems she's faced in her position. (http://community.feministing.com/2009/07/open-letter-to-feministing.html#more)

As to the comment about the military training people to kill other people – I have seen no evidence to the contrary. The purpose of having a military is, essentially, to maintain sovereignty through coercion and force, which is necessarily done with violence. That is simply the nature of the world. I see the need, but I don't like it. (Thankfully, there is democratic peace.) Sure, there are fancy positions now, no draft, people to support the people shooting the weapons, but in the end, the purpose of the military is to be violent.

Frankly, I think those of you who were offended are offended more that I am not hero-worshipping members of the military than the fact that I pointed out what their jobs curtail. I wouldn't disrespect anyone in the military simply because they're in the military, but I won't fall to my knees at the mere mention of them. I also see a big difference between those who enlist and those who are drafted. I also understand that those on the ground don't have much control over what they are supposed to do.

Just to make this clear: I am engaging in conversation, not trolling.

Nice Article, thought abd thank you too. As I known some one in British Army for 1 year and then turned out that we are very good friends to each other, but all this got us into very beautiful relationship and is rewording thought.

I love this man so much and is been hard at the times when he does trainings and can not talk to me and I can not hear his voice over my phone or see him over the internet or meet him as every other do, I still love him for who he is or not what he does. I love him even if he is " dump " as some of here says, I dont care he is educated or not.

After he leaves he can educate himself I will support him too, with my salary and who cares how long it will take. The fact is that I love him for who he is. Also in the Army is a lot of kind people and we can not say, they all is bad and are violent towards their wife or girlfriend, or are cheating on.

We can all think and be into fear of this normal feelings, I think is normal to have thoughts and feelings because we are Humans and we all do mistakes and do things what no one else might do, we can not say: if the boy is in the Army so he is a cheater, dump or violent. That is against Discrimination. Culture Diversity it means we are all different and all we will see the world with our own eyes.

I am glad my man is in th Army and I am praud to be his girlfriend and wife to be, as we are engage, and I am happy to be his and wait for him to come home. On the end of the day thats my decision to be with him.

And what is regardung education they all are well educated there anyway so I am glad there are people who chose this over us, because the people who could not make the decisions to joyin the Army I would say the sre weak, not those who are in the Army already. Even myself I ma sceard to joyin the Army of many reasons but thats me, maybe others are not so I am supporting them " Well done for being so brave and fight for your own country !!! We need you all !!! "

My boy thank you for Loving me so much!!! xxx

My boyfriend left September 9, 2009 to go to basic training. I'm in Kentucky and he's in Missouri. I know it hasn't been long since he left me, but I miss him like crazy. I'm incredibly proud of the decision he's made. This has been his dream since he was a little boy and I support him to the end! I'm currently taking classes and working. I have thought about picking up a second job so I can keep my mind off of things. I got so used to having him here every day, and now it hurts to wake up alone every morning. I have to defend our relationship all the time. His ex wants him back, there's people from our hometown who try and make me feel like less of a person for being with him, my job sucks, my car is falling apart, and I barely have the strength to do anything at all. I know he's coming back to me… I have 81 days left. I love him and miss him terribly. I look forward to his letters and I write him one every day. I know I'm not going to get a letter everyday, but I still check it everyday. I cannot wait to see him again. It's going to be the best Christmas prestent ever!!!

Kayla: Thank you for a wonderful and inspiring article. I plan to print it (sans comments) and tape it to my bedroom mirror as a reminder to myself to have strength when my boyfriend, like yours, is deployed.

Is only the strongest girls can and will stay and support they man all the way through, no meter how hard it is to be in this position, no meter who would try to brake you up by saying: why are you still with this guy or why are you with him, or how can you be with him? When you Love the man, you are strong to be by his side. All of you girls on here are the Hero to the one you Love. Keep this love going, just believe in you. You all can do it. Just believe…

Dear Sara,

I am sorry you were picked on so much in school. It really has affected your thinking. Since you use "lmfao" so much I am guessing you are between 16-18. When you finally move out of your parents house guess what? You can STILL count on the military protecting your very right to be this ignorant and rude. I am joining the Army soon. I already have a degree. During basic training I will think of you with a smile on my face knowing I protect my country and protect free speech. If not for free speech, I wouldn't have been able to read your teenage rants and raves. Thank you!

I absolutly loved this. My boyfriend spent 6 months in Iraq and came home on a two week leave. But this morning I dropped him off at the airport for another 6 months while he is in Iraq. It is tough, but I love him and I'd wait forever for him.

This did make me cry alittle, but all good tears. I know he'll be back home soon.

P.S. I think it's sad you judge one group of girls because they are dating a Man in the military. I'm sure every girls isn't perfect, but they obviously have something you don't and something you want. I hope you find your way and grow up a bit.

I stumbled upon this website and the article is great. I am adjusting to dating a man in the military. It's not easy, but it is worth it.

I think it is pretty ironic that Sara keeps accusing the Army to be stupid yet every comment she makes lacks an intelligent argument. Her grammAr (it is spelled with an "a" not "e" like Sara thinks) is horrible. It sounds like she has every low self esteem so in order to boost her ego, she is going to mock someone else. Maybe a military man dumped her and lashing out here is her way to help herself. Also, the fact that she still uses "LMFAO" shows a high level of maturity.

I have a college degree. From one college grad to whatever Sara claims to be, go pull the stick out of your butt and educate yourself about how great our nation's army and military are. Since the birth of our nation, their sacrifices have guaranteed you the right to open your mouth and unfortunately speak your thoughts. If you have such a problem with them, I suggest you go move to Afghanistan.

Thank you so much for this article. My boyfriend recently enlisted and just found out yesterday that he will be leaving in February for basic. It's really hard for me to think of how far away from me he is going to be and how long I have to go without seeing him. But your perspective on the situation is wonderful and something that i desperately needed to hear. I had already decided that I am in this with him no matter what, but it is still hard to stay strong when I know how tough things are going to get. I hope my boyfriend and I can have as strong of a relationship as you and yours seems to. I am an army girl friend!

Thu, 22nd Oct 20091:27 pm 

Hey guys,

First, let me introduce myself. My name is SPC Smith-Ogle; I am a female Soldier currently serving in support of OIF 09-10.

I am also a mother of two wonderful children — my son will be three in February, and my daughter will be one next month.

I am also a current student, obtaining my BA in communications through Penn State online, and I am using my tuition assistance (not GI Bill) to acquire it.

I am ALSO an Army Wife to a fellow Soldier — the greatest man I’ve ever had the pleasure to know.

As my children stay with my mother, and my husband serves in Afghanistan, and I serve here…

I would like to say thank you for your continued support; whatever your political beliefs are. That doesn’t matter to me — I have my own convictions and I developed them through the last four years of experience, while educating myself on international affairs.

Army Wives are one of the greatest assets the military has, right up there with Soldiers. I know you didn’t choose to join — and I have seen first hand the sacrifices you have made to support your Soldiers, Marines, Airmen, and Sailors.

The Sara’s of the world (we have a word for them — but to simply desribe it with a modicum of decorum — they are women who were rejected by Soldiers and are still bitter about it) are nothing and they never will be. They don’t concern our Soldiers and they shouldn’t concern you.

I didn’t enlist straight out of high school — I went to college for a year. I was sixteen, confused, and unhappy. At seventeen I left school and on a whim, joined the US Army.

It was the best decision I’ve ever made, and though I will be leaving the service when this tour is over (to finish school and raise my wonderful babies), I will never regret all that it has provided to me. I used to be a “bleeding-heart liberal”, if you will, and while I’m still fairly liberal, I have found that no amount of classroom time can compensate for life experience — and the knowledge that comes along with, intended or inadvertent.

Ladies, this was a beautiful article and I appreciate all the support you give on a daily basis.

I don’t believe I should (or anyone should) be held on a pedestal because of our profession…but I do believe you should always think the man in your life is the greatest, and that HIS job is the most important.

Good luck ladies!

SPC Crystal Smith-Ogle

Hello, this is really touching.. i am an army girlfriend too.. me and my boyfriend have just made 6 months together.. and plan on spending forever, weve even talked about getten married after his first deployment. it is very hard we went threw basic together.. and learned alot. esp how to communicate and be very independent. my boyfriend is my bestfriend i come from a broken family and at times he is all ive got. he has recently been stationed in hawaii.. and that too is very hard. he asked me last night if i was gonna be able to make it with him threw deployment.. i told him i was.. but he still wanted a reason.. and all i could give him was because i love him and in the end its worth it.. which it is. every letter, text we send we end it not with an i love you, but with "for what its worth, your worth the wait" which is me saying to him.. that hes worth every minyute of it and ill always be here waiting. in the end.. its a privilage to be an army girl friend.. i stand proud and when i sayy it i say it with a meaning!!

sam says:
Tue, 27th Oct 20097:36 am

Ok time out I just enlisted and I'm 20 years old. I have a degree in computer information science, and I'm certified in C , And java. Before I joined I was the network admin for a casino makeing a lot more money than most 20 somethings out there. Right out of highschool the airforce was my main focus, I wanted to fly. As I grew older I decided that there is a difference between serving my country and fighting for my country so I am now a 19D Cavlery Scout I'm one of those "uneducated" social rejects. You know I'm pretty Sure your airforce guy wouldn't like you talking so much bs about ANY branch. If he realy is milllitary and has had any involvement in this conflict, he would agree that it's one team one fight.
I hope you just swollow your pride and stop speeking of things that you have no knowlege of, also your rants remind me of an author I know, Adolf Hitler… That's not a joke.

P.S.
We no longer have a draft because it's proven that a man who willingly joins is more likely to pull the trigger… And trust me, it takes a lot to look a man in the face and do that. It takes even more to help that man keep himself together , keep from having the nightmares, and that's why all these army wives are stronger than you. They are the only people in this world who have the ability to love us so unconditionaly to keep us sane, and to them I say thank you, for you are the real "backbone of the army"

Alita says:
Thu, 5th Nov 20091:47 am 

Two things about the responses to this article cracked me up:

1. "Sara" spent roughly three weeks trolling here on a classic you-can't-see-me-so-I-can-say-anything narcissistic binge, and yet people kept giving her/him/it material to work with;

2. The comment "Being the wife or girlfriend of someone in the army sounds demeaning and subservient. Not to mention the fact that your boyfriend or husband kills people for a living"…well, the first part of that holds some truth. I'm somewhat saddened by women who define themselves by what their men do; while it's noble to support someone else throughout their lives, what is it that YOU are doing independently?

The second part makes me smile because, while both myself and my man are military, our work has saved many people and it's highly unlikely that either of us has contributed to anyone's death to date.

…but then again, we're Canadian

Lillie says:
Fri, 6th Nov 20097:50 am 

Oh dear.. totally agree with Alita! Around 1/2 dozen comments are actually about the point Kayla was trying to make, which I will say is a little stuck up on her part. I am in the navy and my boyfriend is a chef.. yeah he supports my job and always has done, but I don't think being with me is making him any of a better person. Just as being in the forces doesnt make you a better or worse person!

As for contributing to peoples deaths?! What are you on about?

And one last thing.. the language on here? Where is the need for it?!!

Ignorant. Mouthy. Always-right. Americans. LMAO.

Mon, 16th Nov 20096:39 pm 

Really Sara? What the fuck is wrong with you?

It's unreal to me that someone could purposely be so mean and derogatory to others. It is true that some of the people enlisted in the military are only there because they can't go to college. However, numerous individuals who are in the military are smart and want to protect their country. No matter how you feel, there's no reason to behave so viciously and rude. I really hope that you're either joking or are fake because you're ridiculous. Show some class, please. Be a better person.

Kudos to all the military wives and girlfriends out there – I don't think I could do it! You guys are strong, independent women and I wish you and your army men the best

This article touched my heart… I got with my boyfriend after he had already been in the Army for three years and I'm really sad because he was supposed to be stationed in the states after he got back from Iraq in January.. Unfortunately he got stationed in Korea which is where he will be until next October. He's already reenlisted once and he might reenlist again but hopefully we'll be married by then so I can live with him. I miss him so much and we send at least ten emails a day to each other. I get to talk with him on messenger almost every day during his lunch break, but the time we spend talking isn't very much when you compare it to most couples that get to actually be together. I don't get to hear his laugh or see his amazing smile or kiss his lips… I don't get to look into his beautiful brown eyes and run my fingers through his hair. I don't even get to talk to him on the phone because it's too expensive to call internationally. Ugh it's the hardest thing I will ever have to go through but it will be worth it to be in his arms again…

I have been an Army girlfriend for almost a year. In that time, I have made amazing life-long friends, cried more than I thought possible, and have been loved more than any civilian has ever loved me. Also, in our year together we have spent more time a part than together. He has been gone for the last four months, deployed to Afghanistan. I thought it wouldn't be that bad, that I could handle it, that I was strong enough. I could not have been more wrong. Everytime I watch the news I cry, any time our national anthem is played or I see the homecoming of other soldiers I get goosebumps. Being with my soldier doesn't make me a better person. Being with Kris, my boyfriend, does. I'm in love with the man, not the job.

Renee says:
Tue, 24th Nov 20096:44 pm 

This article is awesome, as well as all of the comments! (Most of the comments) My boyfriend is in the Air Force, currently stationed in Japan, but ready to leave to Afghanistan any day now. Every day is a struggle and an emotional roller coaster , being so far from the man I love. Deployments have always been a part of my life. My dad retired from the Marine Corps, and my brother is in the Army. Stay strong ladies! Our men need us!

I wanted to leave a comment for Becky. Becky, my boyfriend was stationed in Korea before he was stationed in Japan, and he was able to get a phone line through Vonage. They have this set up where servicemembers can have a local United States number while they live abroad, so that family members and loved ones can call them as if they still lived locally. My boyfriend's nonthly bill is $24 bucks a month, and he says all of the services members do it over there. His telephone number and my telephone number are the same area code. So tell you man to look into Vonage, so you guys can talk more often!! When your man is so far, telephone calls mean so much.

Deb says:
Sat, 28th Nov 20094:51 pm 

This article is great, I was searching for articles to help my soon to be husband get through my tour next year….I've found myself more caught up in the comments listed though. To certain individuals who seem to have an issue with our military, Army in particluar, you have a right to your opinion and the freedom to express it, but please keep in mind that it's the continuous sacrifice of our military and the constitutional rights of every US citizen that make it so that you continue to live in a free country and can speak your mind. In other countries it's considered unacceptable to speak poorly of your military or your government and citizens cannot speak freely without consequence. In regards to the education part, I'm 30 years old, a college graduate, working full time and making 6 figures. In a couple months I am proudly joining the Army National Guard. I consider it an honor to serve. I'm far from stupid, am not poor, not single, have a retirement plan and will not be a bum on the street.

Mon, 30th Nov 20097:24 pm 

Ok, so first, to get it out of the way, let me just say that Sara is immature, ridiculous, and her statements are unfounded and stereotypical.

With that said, I need some advice and this seems like a good place to seek it. It seems to me that most of the people commenting on this thread are either Military wives, girlfriends, fiances, or active service members. You all are in a difficult situation that I was almost in myself. A little background: I met my best friend in the second grade (I’m now a freshman in college). During high school, we dated for close to 3 years. He’s always been my best friend and always will be, but I’ve also loved him for so long it feels like second nature. We had been discussing how our relationship would work out when he’d left, but in the end our plans didn’t work. The night we graduated, we made a very difficult and heart-breaking decision to separate, at least temporarily, at the moment he got on the plane to take him to Texas for BT. After he left, I cried and was heartbroken, but generally tried to move on because it was what we both had decided. I worked so hard to build up walls and tell myself that I didn’t care, especially after he did some things that made me angry with him during his AIT schooling. Then, last week of course was Thanksgiving. I came home from college (I go to school 375 miles away from home) and he got to come home on leave for the week before being shipped out to Germany this morning. We were both very busy, so I only saw him once. But once is all it took. The walls crashed down, for both of us it seems, and our lips met as if nothing had changed.

The question I keep asking myself is: Do I want to go down this road with him again? We both have said that this separation can be a temporary thing, and that once I’m out of college and he’s stationed somewhere closer, we can try again. What should I do? All of these emotions are coming back to me full-force, and the fact that he’s gone makes it harder. I haven’t kissed anyone since the last time I kissed him roughly 6 months ago.

By the way, thanks for reading this post. I know it’s long, I just felt that I needed to get everything out there to a third party who is unbiased and doesn’t know either of us. Thank you so much for any advice. And thank you to all the brave men and women serving our country and all the people who support them. If you see a soldier or a Veteran, thank them for their service, patriotism, sacrifice and dedication.

My boyfriend and I have been together for a year, but we have known each other for over two years. We are both in highschool still and we graduate in May of 2010. It is difficult knowing that my boyfriend is going to basic training in less than 6 months, and not even a month after he graduates from highschool. Last night we had a serious talk about what he is doing. I wanted to get engage before he goes off to basic training, but we are only 18 & 19 years old. If anyone can give me advice of how I can feel about about what he is going to do, please e-mail me at mkrakeel@yahoo.com.

Thank you all & God bless you all.

Nick, don't feel resentment. What happened to you is unfortunate, but keep in mind that it happens far more often in reverse. Ladies, I don't mean to offend, but from my observations while in the Army (mostly 2/75th Ranger Regiment), very few women have the strength needed to not cheat on their deployed boyfriends/spouses. To all of you who do: congratulations, you are very special.

Although I don't think Sara's coming back (hopefully), I would like to say that as a person who went to the University of Oxford (Politics, Philosophy and Economics), and went ENLISTED, as an *infantryman*, I think I can refute the claim that my brothers and I are uneducated wastes of space.

I just met an Army boy the hottest guy i have ever laid eyes on and walked out of high school with a score of 97 guessing thats a liitle higher than you sara. I am from Australia and your score when leaving high school determines weather you get into University the score is out of 100 getting 80 is amazing with 97 you could be anything a doctor a rocket scientist a brain surgeon you would even need to apply they would let you walk right through door and study anything you want but he chose the army and goes overseas constantly he loves it its what he is built to do he says and ive seen the bullet and shrapnel wounds to prove it. I dont understand how someone like you can just be so iggnorant to the world we live in if our boys werent fighting alongside yours there would be hell to pay in america for sure while its sucks people die unfortuantly thats the way its been since forever go right back to world war 1 but sweet heart are you really so stupid to think these boys on the front line are scum? if so you need to leave what ever world you are from and travel go see some of these places in fact go see the world cause its the same every where the soldiers in Italy are no different and either are there wives so please live a little before you think your oppinion is right cause you are honestly the dumbest and most close minded person i have ever seen write something so iggnorant all those army wives and girlfriends out there your boys are amazing and if you ever are looking a little more tired than rest of society its only because you are running a hpouse built for two and a family on your own! your amazing people! sara your mental piss off get help!

Wed, 30th Dec 20099:39 am 

Kayla thank you so much for this article it is helping me cope with the fact that my boyfriend is joining the Army. I am very supportive of his decision to defend me and the country that i live in. If you know of any other articles or anything that would help me i would be grateful. As for the Army I believe that not everyone is stupid my boyfriend was the valedictorian of his high school and was offered full rides to many colleges he was accepted to Harvard and Yale and decided not to go. He has an associates degree. Therefore he must not be extremelly stupid.

ruggedJay says:
Sun, 3rd Jan 20106:11 am 

Sara. You must be 13 years old. What a tard. Too much libtard brainwashing. You have know idea what kind of skills it takes to run certain missions. For example, the kinds of calculations in math, meteorology(weather affects bullet flight path), ballistics, etc. that a sniper has to do to make an accurate first shot kill at extended distances. You wanna talk precentages there are way less poeple in the world capable of that skill than their are stockbrokers, doctors, etc. Thats just one example. Lets take a bunch of so called smart people doctors/scientists etc. and put them on a field to do force on force against a spec ops unit. Guess what? They would seem like dumasses and get lit up in no time at all.

I Loved your Story!! Very encouraging My boyfriend is also in the army stationed at Ft.Cambell Tennessee I myself Leave for basic in June!. I Just saw him over Christmas for the first time in a little over a year. It has been very difficult having a boyfriend in the army but Its been worth every minute I have become a stronger person and individual. Everyone & I mean everyone I know asks me "why" I would choose to have a military boyfriend but when you have found that special someone it shouldn't matter how far they are I believe it makes the relationship stronger! For anyone with boyfriends in the Military dont be discouraged its tough but like Kayla said its like after you get off that treadmill and you get to have your dessert in the end its all worth it getting that phone call after not talking to him for months and seeing him come through those airport doors is what makes it all worth it!

Sara-I have been an Army wife for 5 years and I am also an Army veteran. Before joining the Army I lived with my family who by the way is wealthy and was paying for me to go to college. I decided to put on my big girl panties and join the Army so that I could support myself, live on my own, and see the world. I met my husband while in the Army. He had his associates degree in accounting before joining. He was the top in his class and could have kept going to college but he heard the call of duty. He has been serving our country now for 12 years and is on his third deployment. I did get out of the military 5 years ago and I am now holding down a full time job, taking care of our two kids, and working on my BS in nutrition science all by myself. Let me ask you something? Would you go up to my two kids and tell them that their daddy is a waste of human life and should die?

Katie M says:
Sat, 16th Jan 20103:14 pm 

Sara you are most likely the most uneducated person I've ever had to listen to. Fist off, if you're going to open your mouth make sure you have facts. The crime rate in Iraq went down way before the surge was even authorized. Which is why they have put in place the pull out mission for August 31, 2010, the only American Troops that will be left are support troops. They will remain in Iraq to continue training the Iraqi military so they are able to control their country without us. The surge was authorized and approved to send more troops into Afghanistan so they can PREVENT Al Qaeda from recruiting more Afghani people, which will prevent them from growing. Hence the have the Marines patrolling around all the villages. Each person sent over in the surge has a very specific job to do. If one person doesn't do their job, the mission will fail. We still have and will always have the upper hand in anything the UNITED STATES DOES. I'm not sure which makeshift school you went to and learned about "history", but these things take time. They aren't just over trying to kill the Al Qaeda, they are also seizing their weapons, and disabling them as an organization so that their country can be turned into a democracy vs. dictatorship. What good will it do us to invade their country kill a few thousand of them and leave thinking we won. You don't put a fucking band aide on a stab wound. We would accomplish nothing if that were the case. They need to stabilize Afghanistan as a country to ONE HUNDRED PERCENT ensure the safety of OUR COUNTRY. Lets put you in the situations my husband has been in and see how long you last. Lets see if all your "education" can save you. You see 30-40 year olds going to college because they have spent the last TWENTY years of their lives ensuring YOUR safety. They have EARNED their G.I bill by first off paying money into it and secondly, serving our country. They are retired with a FULL PENSION and FULL BENEFITS, getting a second or sometimes third degree is what they desire to do after what they and their families have been through, who the fuck do you think you are to judge them. The only waste of life I see is YOU and I definitely wouldn't mind using you as a "human shield". You do not deserve to be an AMERICAN.

Sara, you kick ass. I can't believe you are a girl. You are so extremely assertive and intelligent. You are nothing like the stupid docile women that typically marry soldiers. I am a soldier the the infantry. I was such a dumbass to join the army. I made the decision on impulse and it has become the worst decision i've ever made in my life. I enlisted for 4 1/2 years and I've done 3 1/2 so far. I've done 1 tour in Mosul, Iraq as a SAW gunner. I am way to smart to be in the infantry or the military at all for that matter. My GT score was 134 (that's sort of like an aptitude test that the army does). The military goes against everything I stand for, but here I am struggling my way through it, cause I certainly aint gonna try to get out early and risk a less than honorable discharge. Just imagine the negative impact that would have on my life.

I am a black sheep in the army and I'm here to back up your opinion from an inside perspective. Enlisted soldiers are the scum of society. I hate working with them, I hate being around them everyday, and most of all I hate being one of them. I can't wait to get out. Only 1 more year to go.

This a very nice article.

I'm a ER Nurse and have been with my Army man the whole way. I have known him since 2nd grade and dated a year before he joined. He is in five years, and will have his BS at the end. He will be a FBI agent when he gets out or Police officer(which are very nice jobs). I am proud of him for all he has done. Basic training and AIT school was difficult to go through but was totally worth it. Every person I have meet that is in or was in the Army or any branch has been very smart. My Best friend went straight into the army from high school and he came out with a career as a Doctor. I have learned to disguard the mis-informed and thank god your not them looking like an idoit. I love my country, YES even with all the crazy people that make no sense in it.

Thank you all for your support of our men and women in service!

Soon to be his Mrs.

Kayla, this was an amazing post. i fell upon it accidentally, but i agree 100% with every word you said, and i couldnt agree more. ive been dating my boyfriend for 8 months now, and he leaves on tuesday for AIT for four months. when he comes home itll be a little after our one year mark, and we are looking forward to getting a place of our own, like you said.. 5 months apart and now we get to live together.

i cannot be any more proud of my man and the men and women he works with.. thank you for fighting for our beautiful country, and god bless.

p.s. does anyone else notice sara doesnt post anything after when the gentleman said he had saras ip adress and where she lives, the little girl must be scared. she is the most ignorant person i have ever come across. and talk about stupid too. im not going to even waste my time.

thank you again kayla, and good luck to you and your boyfriend in the future.

GOD BLESS EVERYONE.

Kayla,

You're an idiot. Your boyfriend's probably an idiot too. As are most military wives and girlfriends. Nasty, self righteous people.

The military culture is an awful one that really reflects our rotting values as Americans. One day you will see just how much of a mistake you made with your retard boyfriend. But I guess tards deserve each other.

The part about the apple frits was just icing on the idiot cake.

I just read this and everything said in their is the truth, this made me cry, because i know how it feels. My boyfriend just recently left for basic training and although its only been two weeks i am already a stronger and more confident person. I am ss proud to say that im an army girlfriend. Me and my boyfriend have been together over a year now and when he gets back were planning to get married:) some say thats to soon but hey when you find the one theirs no limits to say what you can or cant do fallow your heart. And it doesnt matter if he was away for years at a time, I am still going to be their front in center waiting for him with more love that you can amagine. Just in this short period that hes been gone, which i might add feels like a life time we have so much more appreciation for each other now. I was scared at first knowing that he was leaving but then I thought Hes all I want and these 5 months are going to be a piece of cake knowing that we get to spend the rest of our lives together. So girls out their that are scared just hang in their because your man needs you more than anything and you need him to, so be proud of them what their doing for them selves, you, and their country. Be strong! Being an army girlfrind is no easy task, but i promise you it will worth it!

I came across this article while looking for some support. Things have been really tough lately – my boyfriend is in the 75th ranger regiment stationed in Fort Benning, GA. I live in Philadelphia, so I hardly get to see him. And he's currently training in Texas so with how busy he is and the 2 hour time difference, I hardly get to talk to him. I miss him so much, and I love him with all my heart. I can't wait to see him again. He goes on leave February 19th!! I'm counting down the days.

Sara and Mark's comments made me sick. But the funny thing is, they were just the support I needed. It's stupid, ignorant, judgmental people like them that remind me why I'm with my man. They have no idea what it takes to be a soldier or a soldier's significant other, and their snide remarks just remind me of my inner strength. I love my army ranger with all my heart. Never shall I fail my Ranger. I will always keep myself strong, brave, and faithful. I will shoulder more than my share of the responsibility, whatever it may be, one hundred percent and then some!

For those of you also looking for some support, remember this –

Distance is not for the fearful, it's for the bold. For those willing to spend a lot of time alone in exchange for a little time with the one they love. It's for those who know a good thing when they see it, even if they don't see it nearly enough.

wow, people like sara and mark have such lack of intelligence.

its our men who are fighting for your freedom, not people like you who don't have enough balls to do so.

so up yours, ignorant fucks. i happen to be so incredibly in love with my army man.

im proud of him, he's doing good things and he's going places.

good for all of your army ladies.

we have real men, strong men, and they make us even stronger.

My boy left for basic a week ago, it already it horrid without him here, but knowing what the out come of all of this will be, takes some of that away.

when you know someones just so amazingly right for you, nothing could stop that.

and for the people who run away from situations like this, well, thats probably why we have them, they need strong women anyways.

muah!

This is a nice article. My boyfriend will be deployed some time in April, and I am dreading the day, but looking forward to his return in 2011. This will be our first deployment together, so I'm really nervous as to what to expect. I've been somewhat warned about what could happen, as far as communication and such, so I'm aware of how a deployment works. My boyfriend has helped to keep me informed of how things work with the army, and I feel confident enough to survive through this.

To Jordan Fritsch: I never imagined being in a military relationship. Now that I am, I can easily just not follow though with this, but we believe that we both have found our companion in life. With this being said, I agree with your statement that months apart will be nothing compared to the rest of our lives we get to spend with each other.

P.S. I loved your story. Believe it or not, us Military girlfriends/spouses are supportive of each other no matter where we are. There are a ton of groups on facebook, there are websites.. Keep your chin up girly

Kayla,

Thank you so much for you post. I have been dating my army boyfriend for awhile and we are in college now. He missed the first semester of ROTC for personal reason and because of this he has to attend a 12 week camp this upcoming summer and I don't know how I will do it. I love him so much and I know we will never part ways. I am always there for him and acting brave when he is around, but when he is away from me I feel so terrified of what is to come. The support you share is what makes little posts like this so worthwhile. It is good to know I am not the only women working hard to be with the man I love so much. Goodluck to you and your boyfriend! God bless you both!

I loved your Post. My fience is in afgan. and this is his second tour. Well, first tour with me anyway and I'm very independent and I know exactly what you mean. He makes me that much stronger. He knows he dosn't have to worry about me struggling when he's away. He needs to know that to survive and concentrate on his missions. A destracted solider is a dead solider. I need him to come home in one piece, so I am Army strong for him.

Thank you!!

Thank you for the post i loved it. My boyfriend is talking about going into the army. I have never been with someone who has been in he army and i was looking for stories and advice about women who have been a military girlfriend, fiance so forth. I am 19 and he is 20 we have only been together for a short time…and i am unsure about him leaving. I know that he really wants too and i am not going to stop him i going to stick by his side and push through.

As for Sara and Mark, you both obviously don't know anything, i know some people who are in the military and were in the military…you need to shut your mouths ans zip your lips. Neither of you know anything.

HI,

My boyfriend is going to become a National Guard officer. He will have his basic training this summer. I met him before he signed the contract. I don't know why but I seriously feel sad/angry when I think about the fact that he is in the army…

He's in law school right now graduating next year. We have talke about it before he went to sign up joining the army. He still insisted.

Now he just got back from his first weekend training per month. When I looked at the uniforms and stuff. I got mad and insecured…and just don't wanna be close with him. However I missed his company while he was gone last weekend. We are going to get married soon but I think I am hesitating =(

I do love him but I really don't like the fact that he is becoming a national guard… I mean he has future out there. He has his professions. However he wants to go out there and "test" himself?

No offense but I always don't like the army thing. Like when I go see the war movies…when I see the soilders dying in the battlefileds. What I see is the broken families afterwards. It just makes me very sad… =(

I feel so sad, scared, anngry and helpless now :'( How I wish that he could just cancel all those singing up and going to the army things…..

It seerms like it's not like that I don't want to support him but I still can't convince myself that I like the army concept.

This is so inspiring! My boyfriend, soon to be husband just left for bootcamp last week, it sucks because i get to talk to him only by text & i know that this is as good as it gets, because next week i will only be able to talk to him by letters…

Oh btw, i'm young, but i'm in love with this man, he makes me so happy, & he is so strong! I mean if you join the army, or anything of that sort you are the strongest of all!

I will be graduating next year, but i can't wait to be with him forever, we're soulmates!

Sara, you are so stupid! i cant believe that you would talk bad about something you obviously know nothing about. nobody agrees with you. everyone thinks you are stupid. have you not been reading the comments people are leaving? i haven't seen one that says "i agree with sara!" they are ALL ageist you… AS THEY SHOULD BE! THE LIVE IN AMERICA! you are very rude. i stumbled across this by mistake, and it outraged me! by the way, i was doing a college assignment…i have been in college for the last 3 years, and for the record, I'm probably going into the army. just because one goes into the military out of high school, does not make them stupid or worthless. maybe they wanted to serve the country… MAYBE they wanted to protect American people… which unfortunately includes you. some people want to go in before high school. some people want to be in because they like the way it sounds, or because maybe they had a family member going into the military. you are so ridiculous. it sounds to me like your just looking for an argument, and yes, dissing the Defenders of America is a good way to get one, yet stupid. my grandpa is a war vet from world war 2, and he is not stupid or worthless ether. i couldn't even read all of the horrible things you were saying. basically, i just wanted to tell you that you are stupid, and by the way, going to harverd dosent make you smarter than the rest of the population. get over yourself…

(I cried during your article)

My boyfriend is in the army, I was so used to seeing him every weekend when he came to visit, but he was sent to a different base very far from me. It's been about a month since I've seen him, and it feels like a part of me is missing when he's not around. Geesh I was so used to him snoring, that now I can't sleep because he's not snoring beside me

I'm very proud of him for what he's doing, and I tell him that all the time. I just hope for the best and pray he comes home safe. It's very hard having someone you love more than anything in the army. There's a lot of waiting, but when he finally does come home you think to yourself he was worth the wait.

I really liked reading this post, my friend is leaving in a week for basic then OCS. I am so nervous and hope everything works out with us, long story short we had been together for 2 years and were planning on getting married this July. He signed for the Army and I was upset/nervous so he decided he did not want to put me through this emotional roller coaster, plus he knew that I would be going to Med School here in town and he did not want me compromising my dream/future career for him, because he knew I would not end up going to school and would follow him where ever he got based after training. Needless to say we are still talking and basically still together we are just going to see how the next few months, year go with him being away and little communication. I know how important communication is when away from the person you love, so I have already pre-addressed and stamped envelopes so maybe it will help cut down a little time for him.

I will be honest and was not to happy/excited that he was joining the Army because I was being selfish and just did not want him to leave and be away from me for long periods of time. Now that he has signed his contract I find myself tearing up every time I see a man or woman in uniform or read posts like this. These men and women are taking time out of their own lives to serve OUR country and protect OUR freedoms.

Thanks again for this post,

Amber

Kayla, while I'm not an Army girlfriend, I am a National Guard/Intelligence Contractor girlfriend. My boyfriend will be going to Iraq next month for 6 months for his work. It will be hard, but it will be worth it in the end, so thank you for this article.

As for this Sara girl – she clearly was hurt by someone in the army and feels the need to stereotype every soldier and bash them. I am against the war but support the troops…I would even bet that someone in her family at one point was in the military fighting for our country. I work with tons of Soldiers…oh and I maybe I should add that a few of them are doctors and a few of them even went to Harvard for their Masters Degrees. That being said, obviously there are many educated people in the US Army….and she is the uneducated one. Sara why dont you focus all of your energy on making the world a better place instead of hating on the people that are already trying.

Thu, 13th May 20104:11 pm 

I am active duty and married to a military man. Kayla, I think your article was very sweet =) As for the feminist saying that we (the wives/girlfriends) are subservient- FAIL. Most if not all of my female friends in the military are married to military men. I'm pretty sure NONE of us are subservient.

Sara is either a little girl who had a crush and was turned down, or a little boy who couldn't get in. I am in the Air Force, and LOVE me some inner service rivalry, but ONLY within OUR services. Meaning: If you didn't go to a boot camp/basic training (any service) then what do you know and who cares what you say. I do not want, nor expect anyone to respect me based on the FACT that I am an Airman. I am seeing a "trend" of KIDS who make ignorant comments about the military and what it represents more often lately and I believe it is their parents fault! YES I DO! "Oh, little Johnny/Sara… Your teacher gave you a B???? It MUST be because they hate you because you're better than them.", says mom/dad. Parent's don't hold their kids responsible for anything anymore… I wonder if they even know how to make their own beds. I have two children, and am always being told how well behaved and polite they are. I will ensure that they know not to be rude and to respect other people's opinions. As I respect them. What I do NOT respect is the GROSS misrepresentation of FACTS. I also received my Master's degree WHILE in Iraq, along with MANY others. There is only ONE service that accepts people without a HS diploma, and it is in RARE cases with a waiver needed now. The ARMY is my sister service and I, being AF MILITARY, having attended basic training, know that we NEED them and their intelligence. I think Sara and his/her partners have had enough "stage" time and should probably turn the computer of before his/her mom catches him/her.

Hes Leaving The Month O My Birthday. 3 years of service. He Said "I Love You. I Dont Want To Lose You Ever. I Want You To Be My Future And What Makes It Up. But Im Joining the Army And Nobodies Going To Stop Me, I Want You To Stay With Me But I You Dont I Understand" I Cried. I Balled My eyes out. And Flung Myself In His Arms…Im Staying With Him.

Hopefully we'll stop expanding our empire and bring our troops home. There is a fine line between defending freedom and nation building and we have crossed that line. We have bases in over 130 countries around the world and we are spending $1 trillion a year maintaining our overseas empire and it's bankrupting this country. Pretty soon we will have a currency crises like every other empire in history who has stretched too far. We should have gone after the Al-Qaeda in the mountains of Afghanistan and Pakistan with special forces instead of getting into nation building.

Well, for one I am really happy that I found this article. My boyfriend laeaves for basic in two weeks and it's a bittersweet feeling. I'm happy that he's finially doing what he's been dreaming of since he was younger, but at the same time it's going to be hard dating a guy that isn't around all of the time. All I can do is pray for him to come back home safely.

And sara: I don't even know what I wnt to say to a little pest like you. Out of all your posts I've seen you've used cuss words and said fuck almost every time! What does that make you look like? A very unintelligent individual! So, regardless of what you think of the army, keep it to yourself. And no, I didn't take my meds today. You remind me of what my Marine instructor in jrotc said about people acting tough over the internet. You are obviously some anorexic nobody who is mad at the world because her boyfriend dumped her, or a fifth grade girl with nothing better to do. Does your mommy know that your on the internet insulting people. And what's with all of the punctuation marks? Did you even PASS english? And you say the army is stupid! HA! Go look in a mirror sweetie.

Kayla – Thank you for writing this article. It was probably one of the most positive outlooks I have read in a while. I have a year and a half of waiting left until my amazing army man is home, and your upbeat attitude has definitely made it easier to get through my day to day. You are a very positive person for being put in such a difficult situation and that really does show how strong you are.

Sara does not deserve the acknowledgment of such amazing people who have commented on this. She has already been proven wrong by every knowledgeable person who has left a comment, so I won't continue to list how many times she has said something ignorant, unbacked and insulting for lack of a better argument on her part, or just completely incorrect. All I have to say is hopefully you will someday realize that there is no reason for being so negative.

Your comments make me even more appreciative of our military, because they continue to fight for even those who are as ungrateful as you. You can pretend all you want that you don't need them or that they are doing a horrible job, but I'd like to see you do what they do. You continue to prove that you are a weak person, and couldn't last a day doing the tasks you find so unimportant. Lets all send Sara off to basic training and see how long that attitude of hers lasts, agreed everyone?

Hopefully one day you will realize how ungrateful you are and start thanking the people you can only resort to calling "smelly" (what a hard hit, huh?) Also, hopefully you will one day learn proper grammar and stop using "lmfao," swears, and a thousand question marks per statement.

I am proud to say I am still 18 and have never used such childish and uneducated ways of writing since i was about 8.

I am also proud to say that I am an army girlfriend.

Kayla, I now understand the therapeutic aspect of your writing. I feel much better knowing there are amazing, strong people like you out there, along with the other wifes, girlfriends, soldiers, and family here. The comments of this article have diverged into personal problems with the war or one girls opinions on something she knows nothing about. I'd like to stay focused on the message that started it all. Stay strong everyone!

God bless you all, especially you, Sara.

I loved this article and I can relate to it in every way. My boyfriend is a Marine and we live in different states right now. Military relationships are one of the hardest kinds. You love each other on a whole other level. You don't always have the person you love there all the time to share things with or laugh with or make memories with. But then the time comes where you do finally get to be with each other-that's when those memories are made.

I wouldn't trade what we have for anything. Every time we get to see each other it's well worth the pain and sacrifice we both go through. It's hard being apart from each other. But I'd rather be with him everyday while he's gone than not at all. All I can say is thank you to all of our men who are out there fighting for our country, and to all of us girls who are right by there side along the way Semper Fi (always faithful)

This is a really great article. My boyfriend is going into the Army and I appreciate the support because, as a pacifist, I have conflicting feelings about the matter. But he is so worth all the hard times that are going to come, I love him with my whole heart

As for Sara, I've never met a more rude and screwed up individual. You obviously have deep psychological issues and need professional help. I am absolutely opposed to all violence and war, always have been, but who isn't? Nobody LIKES war. So you can't help but respect the people who are willing to fight, despite our innate peaceful nature, to protect the rest of us waiting at home. So even if you, like myself, don't think we should be in this war, find some sort of compassion in your cold heart to support the people who are in the midst of it because it could just as well be your dad or brother as it is my boyfriend.

Sara is a fucking dumbass that has no life. She definitely has nothing better to do than to keep on returning to this website and replying to responses from others. Not loved enough at home or by your cats? lmao, getta damn life!

First off, I just wanted to thank you for this article.

I recently started going out with someone who is leaving for bootcamp in January

Its going to be so hard, but this is what he wants to do and who am I to stop him? This article really has helped bring into light what I am going to expect and some good tips! (I like the applefritter reference!)

Well ladies and gents, I am the real Sarah and my name is biblical and has a wonderful and powerful meaning… that other girl without the "h" on the end is just a fraud..:)Pay no attention to ignorant people like that, because you can talk yourself blue in the face speaking up on facts to them… and they will never get it!

Kayla, God Bless you and God Bless al the soldiers that have commented on here, it is not a job for the weak, mentally spiritually or physically!

I am 24 years old and have a husband and 2 boys, 4 and 2 yrs old and should be shipping out for basic on January 4th. I want to help the inured, I will be a medic, I want to HELP both civillians and soldiers.I will be sad leaving my family behind.. but it will be worth it when I come back and we are allowed to live together again!

Kayla, your article touched me greatly as I will be leaving my husband and babies, but I know that they will be here waiting for my return! You are a wonderful person and what you have done has helped many people get through missing their loved ones! God Bless You and your SOLDIER!!!

Sara, you have got to be one of the most idiotic people I've ever read a post about, do you even have the mental capacity to read a potty training book cover to cover? and saying that Jas is a dog name??? wtf???- how did you get that?

Thisguy says:
Sun, 7th Nov 20105:28 pm 

Actually (and I mean no disrespect to any other Saras or Sarahs except this particular one when I say this..)FYI Sara is a popular dog name..

'Sara is a girl dog name preferred by many who want to select a single name for their dogs.'

(edogadvice website, girl dog names)

But when they're selecting a name for you, I think "bitch" simply would suffice, don't you agree? That'd be pretty funny actually, so how would they call you to your doggie bowl?- By saying "here bitchy bitchy bitchy! Awww now that's a good girl, oh now what have you done to yourself bitchy?- let me pull that flea off your coat now with these tweezers…"

My boyfriend is in the Army! This article made me cry, because it is true – and distance makes the heart grow fonder. I am so proud of my boyfriend and I know that what he is doing, is a great thing. I dream of the day when I get to hold him again and keep him and his fellow soldiers in my prayers.

Sara…you are an ignorant fool! I’m sure you are just a sad lonely homely looking girl who isn’t cared for or loved by anyone…my boyfriend is in the army and he obtained a diploma in criminal justice before he ever joined…he is very intelligent…I don’t approve of the army and I did not want to be involved in it but I would never look my nose down at the men and women who have died so WE ALL can be free! They are the hero’s and you are a nobody! They fight and die so you get to live the way you want instead of being told…they fight and die so someone doesn’t come and bomb where you live or where your family lives…they keep you and your loved ones safe. They fight so there isn’t people dying and being blown up on your street! I don’t know who planted in your head that your gods gift to earth and can judge people for what they believe and what they choose to do with their lives…its people like you who make other countries hate america! Futhermore people who decide to not attend future schooling are not “scum”…you don’t have to attend classes to learn…I hope that your Karma hits you and ruins your “perfect exsistence”.Actually I hope that you fall inlove and you tragically lose them…then maybe you can learn some compasion and actually feel something other than hatred.

Dear Sara,
Fuck you. Filth can only describe cleanness with filth, as that's all it sees. So you, in all your revolting "low class scum" can stuff it, while these soldiers continue to make sacrifices to protect you.
Fuck off.

"College level grammar?" Really? Perhaps you need to go back to high school. Your grammar is horrendous. If you are going to complain about other people's grammar is awful, I would suggest you check your own. Granted, you may use "big" words, and know how to word a sentence, your punctuation sucks, which, as any idiot knows, is the best way to get any point across.

With regards to your bitching about the Army: Shut the fuck up. No one cares about your opinion. It is because of these soldiers that you even have the right to say these things. If we did not have the soldiers that we did, you would more than likely be rotting in a prison somewhere today. Just saying.
Sincerely,
Fuck Off

Wow. My boyfriend is joining the army when he's old enough and can't wait. Even with years between when he goes and now, I still find it really hard to think about. We're planning (of course) on still being together then, and I'm going to give a lot up for him when the time comes, and this article just made it a little easier to think of.
Thanks.

do not beg and cry, simply be loyal and wait for him. crying and begging will only make it harder for him and he wont concentrate on his job, causing him even more stress.

My soldier leaves for boot in a little over a month. And as hard as I know's it's going to be, he's completely worth it. Also, I luckily met and became friends with a girl in my dorm who's also a military girlfriend and it's been really helpful!

Mon, 9th May 201110:59 am 

my mother always said she could relate to my boyfriend because he had an "itch that needed to be scratched". my mother always wanted to be a nurse, no matter what and she became one and never looked back. my boyfriend has always wanted to be in the army and he's in the middle of his selection process now. my mother recognises the same "need" he has to join the army as she did to nurse.
my days it used to frustrate me.
my own mother could relate better to my long term boyfriend than i could. i have never and probably will never understand the urge to join the army.
i used to cry and beg too and we'd argue and then one day he said i had to accept it and accept it was who he was or else. it struck me that i was being selfish and unsupportive and if that wouldnt drive him into the army what would!
the point is, what your boyfriend wants to do is so brave. he is doing this not for himself but for you and the country he loves. dont try to put him off and emotionally trap him, be strong and positive and proud of your man.

Wow sara u are a right stuborn bitch!! Firstly u can apply for the army, it can be a long process as been through it myself its not for dumb males and females. You seriously have no idea what shit every single one of them have to go through. The training is unbelivably difficult. Why wud they train an idiot how to fire a gun? A shame one can’t be shot at you but still it would be risking their own lives! My boyfriend is currently in his training and even that is hard. They have to take ur mind away from civvi life. Why start being a dick talking about things u have no idea about. U clearly must be having a shit and lonely life. I feel for you I really do! I strongly advise you to give up! And do somthing worth doing! No one cares what u think about men and women in the military, as ur only giving ur opinion and there giving u the truth of how it really goes down! Chin up poppet =D. Ohh yeh btw the article is good. Has made me feel alott better about my boyfriend being in the army

The irony: 'I am way to smart'
Should actually be: 'I am way too smart'.
'I am a soldier the the infantry' (I'm sure you'll work out the mistake to that one)

By this stage you'll have completed your four and a half years… and I'll bet in every job interview you have had since (if you have had any) you'll have mentioned: 'When I was in Iraq I showed leadership/ was able to work in a team/ listened to the advice of others..' and so forth.

He's deployed now but when he gets back we're getting married:)
This lifes hard but when I read your article it makes me smile because it reminds me I'm not alone:)

Accusing every person in the US Military of being worthless must mean that you have personally met and had conversations with every person in the Military, right? Your judgmental views have no validity. What information do you have to back your argument? You obviously do not have any respect for your country or yourself. Only a person with poor self a esteem could put down others for pleasure, especially the people in one of the most heroic groups in our country. I would consider that you do some more research about our men and women that serve before you are so quick to judge. I really do hope that you try to get to know some of the members of the US Military so that you can see what wonderful individuals they are. Maybe you do not agree with the current conflicts in the Middle East, many people do not, but those men and women deserve to be appreciated for their accomplishments. Instead of directing your hatred towards the Military members, whom you do not know, point that anger to the bigger picture. No one has time for your heartless and harsh attitude, so please keep your negativity to yourself.

I took mine to the armory yesterday morning for him to leave for basic. When he landed in Georgia he had 90 miles more to travel by bus. He called me and we talked for about 2 hours. For nearly a hour of that i cried for him to come home. This is going to be so hard for me. We usually are together everyday, and now i feel like i have nothing. I sobbed myself to sleep last night. I want him to come home, but like you said, with all the anxieties i know that in the end it will all be worth it, I can't wait to see him, and especially can't wait to hear from him. I am really glad i read this. You reminded me of that little hope I sometimes forget. Thanks

I met my boyfriend my senior year of high school, after he had already enlisted. We graduated together and agreed to try to make it work regardless of the distance. He left for basic three weeks ago, and it has been so hard. And I can only imagine how much harder it would get since we still have four more years to go. We've been together for seven months now and he means a lot to me. I am extremely proud of him and am glad that he is doing what he wants to do, but I can't help but to think about us not being together in the future. That torments me, but reading other's stories and realizing that it COULD work definitely makes me feel better and gives me hope Maybe if we both put effort into this relationship we can be the exception and not the rule! I love my soldier and can't wait until I can be with him again.

Wed, 20th Jul 20114:34 am 

so i didn't read all of the comments(there were alot and that crazy sara person was really pissing me off, but whatever about her, may her just dessert find her soon) anywho, i just read the last couple of them and the first few pages so i have a little advice for y'all:

hey jenna(and all the other posting who just saw their loved one off to basic), i know how that is. Mine just got out of basic and is on the east coast for 2 years while im being sent to the west coast for my job training for a year. Its hard knowing that ill see him very little over the next two years(give or take) but i know that he loves me with all his heart, and i let him know every chance i get. Make sure you write him lots of letters while hes in basic. that will help him more than you know, heck send more than one a day even if its a few lines of saying hey i miss you, remember when we did this or when you said that? yea that was great huh? i love you talk to you soon.
those kinds of letters will make all the difference in the world to him, will give him strength in his darkest hour and help him keep pushing on.

and send him little hand drawn pictures, no matter how bad or good of an artist you are, it will make him laugh to see what your day was like in the form of a comic strip or a girly page full of i love you and hearts and rainbows or whatever you draw, it will make him smile.

send him jokes, tell him how you miss him holding you, send time pictures of you being silly or all dressed up, tell him your dreams, what you think about when your alone in bed at night, tell him about that time you did that one thing with that one person or how your siblings drive you crazy…

the best thing you can do for him, for you, is to communicate…

and if you dont hear anything from him for a while…DON'T FREAK OUT…i know its hard to believe, but they are totally right when they say "no news is good news"

best of luck to all of you, whether you be navy, army, air force,marines…or connected to some one who is, ill say the good old Irish pray for every one of you tonight

My boyfriend just enlisted in the Army and I'm not entirely sure what to expect, but I know I'm going to support him all the way. This is a scary thing for me, the unknown. I've heard that it's very hard, but he's worth it to me. He's truly the best friend I have ever had, and he's my other half, for sure. In some ways, I'm looking forward to the time apart because I know our relationship will grow stronger and that I'll become a more independent woman in the process. At the same time, though, I can't imagine not getting good morning texts every day and laughing together throughout the day. I can't imagine falling asleep on his chest when we watch a movie late at night, or not going for walks in the park when we want to talk about something serious. But I know that I'm not really giving it up, I'm trading it for something better. So I'll keep my chin up and support him all the way, just as you girls have supported your men.

I just stumbled upon this article and wow is all I have to say to Sara's comments. How can you disrespect everyone in the Army like? I used to know someone exactly like you and you disgust me. I dated someone in the Army and he turned out to be a douchebag, but that does mean they are all bad people. There are bad people everyone.

this page makes me feel so at home. I met my boyfriend his Junior year, but we didnt start dating until hs senior year. he was laready enlisted in the navy. he tried to cancel his enlistment for me but i wouldnt let him. i was at the recruting station with him when his recruter drove him away. walking away from the car that day was the hardest thing ive ever done. everyday i come home and hope theres a letter in the mailbox. if not, i write another one and wait again. he is in the third week of his basic training. i know how you all feel. stay busy and the time will pass faster. im staying in touch wth his parents bc it makes me feel more connected to him. i know he loves me even if he cant tell me everyday and when he gets back, this wait will have been so worth it.

Brooke says:
Mon, 1st Aug 20117:50 pm 

I'm sorry, but I read just one comment from Sara and I am totally appauled at 1) her language, and 2) that she has no idea what she's talking about. It's people like this who make me mad because they obviously don't know what they're talking about when they go ranting on about the military like that. Do some research or something before you go blabbing your mouth to the world.

$200,000 shoebox size apartment in new york city is nonetheless accredited to the sacrifices that the brave men and women gave! So, for whatever it is that you have that is so grand, you owe it to these men and women that gave their lives for you to have the freedom to live in a country as great as this one…You should be ashamed to call yourself an American if you are even one…It is people like you that made Jane Fonda a hero! And you call yourself an American? How about relocating north of the border or to France for that matter…I hear they really like cowards like Cassius Clay and of the sort…

I loved the article! I'm a new Army girlfriend, I'm turning 18 and he's turning 20. I'm still learning how all of this works and may need some advice here and there just don't know where to go. Sara, your comments are very rude and unnecessary. My boyfriend is actually an amazing guy and surprisingly smart! He's not anything like the descriptions you gave. I am proud of what he does, if it weren't for these brave soldiers, you wouldn't have the freedoms you have now, like freedom of speech which you clearly take advantage of. My man has been exempt from deploying in November but the possibility of him deploying in general gives me horrible anxiety, he already lives 6 hrs away from me! I want to start a life with him but am afraid of what is coming ahead. I know I must keep my head up and put myself aside for him. I hope I find a source for advice.

Obviously you have no respect for yourself or anyone else in the USA. Take your stupid ass to Afghanistan or Iraq and see how they live and THEN say those things. Most of the people in the military already have college degrees and are smarter than you will ever dream of being. Also, you seem very uneducated, seeing that you can't even spell or use correct grammer. I hope that your child (God forbid you need any as stupid as you are) join the military and have to fight. I have 3 cousins and a boyfriend in Afghanistan and I wish they would put your dumb ass on the frontlines. Rot in HELL you stupid illiterate ignorant piece of shit!

Kayla, you wrote an amazing article. I have a boyfriend in the Israel Defense Force (IDF or Israeli Army) and I live in America. We used to talk more but since he became a Sargent it's been really difficult and your article helped a lot. It takes a lot to be an army girlfriend; patience, love, support, respect, trust, fear, strength, honesty, understanding, acceptance, bravery… and I respect any girl or guy who made a choice to be with someone in the army. I met my boyfriend about 10 months after he enlisted (he's a volunteer) and I made the choice. It was easy and everything I want despite the fact that it gets lonely at times and I miss him. Anyway, I really like your article and don't let anybody get in the way of your happiness and don't listen to people who make comments against you. This is who are and that man is the one you love. I wish you all the best.

I recently began dating a man in active duty. He and I had been friends for a few years before we decided to make it official 3 weeks before he deployed. At first I was angry at myself for getting involved in such a risky relationship but then I realized that it shouldn't matter how far apart we are physically. This is the closest I've ever been to anyone and it's the most rewarding relationship I've ever had. I love him so much and I'm grateful for the opportunity to be with him and experience the "Military Girlfriend Roller-coaster." There are times when I hate it, but I relish the moments when I speak to him and see his face. Being with a military man has taught me to never take him for granted and that is the key to any relationship not just military ones.

I know that I am proud of the men and women who risk their lives for my rights… and if anything your rights too, because if they weren't out there, you would have terrorists up your ass with a grenade or a shotgun. Those people serving their country are some of the bravest people in this country, and I am proud to say that my boyfriend will be out there protecting me and my rights.

He leaves for Afganistan in 4 days. i miss him so much and hes not even gone yet. hahah .
anyone have any advice for a new girl?

"Why the hell do you think that there isn't a draft????? There isn't a draft because the wastes of life who join the army need to be the ones fighting and dying"

Clearly you understand nothing about the army because there is technically "A draft". They undergo about three and a half months of what is called basic training, and if you can't complete it you are sent home.

MandaLinn says:

Thank you for that. I just returned home from seeing my soldier. He just completed BCT on the East Coast & is now in reception for AIT in TX. I have been an emotional wreck the past 36 hours & not completely sure why. Few understand why I go on this emotional roller coaster. My soldier is worth it. He is my love, my best friend, & my hero.

Hi my name is chabreeka and i am A military girlfriend. i really do admire your article. it made me cry because its something that im going threw. I cry and pray everyday that my boyfriend comes home to me. I Love him with all my heart. i get comments from people everyday saying "I dont see how u go with someone in the army, Is He Mean? I couldnt take being away from someone i love that much because eventually girl i would find someone else. Those comment dont phase me at all. i love him with all my heart and im willing to wait this entire year for him.. im young and hes young, but i definately know that i love him. what people dont understand is that military men, they have a heart to and a sweet side, it seems crazy to see him following orders all the time, doing a lot of hollering , but when he sees me im his baby girl, his world he hugs and kisses me and reminds me of how much he loves me. this article helped me realize alot. thank you so much ! _Chabreeka/SOONTOBE ARMYYWIFEE

Everything this Sara missus said is so wrong, its very horrifying to read! Someone needs to do some research…

Anyways, I stumbled across this article and I have to say it made my day. Earlier this week, my boyfriend of almost two years broke the news to me that he wants to join the infantry. He, of course, has my absolute wholehearted support and I am so proud of him because this is something he has always wanted to do. However, we will be apart for about a year and a half while he completes his training in various parts of Canada while I continue my university studies. I know its going to be hard, because even after that I'll still be in school, and he'll be starting work.

However, he is so definitely worth it, and reading everyone else's comments has made me feel even more confident that we are both going to be able to do this. So, I just wanted to comment and say thank you everyone:)

Some people (myself included) just can't stand the worry and loneliness. I am not a bad person for not wanting to continue my military relationship, yet I am continually being led to believe I am. I am not unpatriotic for my beliefs that this war is a waste of life, I just have my own views.I love my army guy more than anything in the world, however I can't take the pain of being apart from him. He had signed out of the army and volunteered to go back to Afghan (even though I explained that it would hurt me and worry me sick). I have only been with him a short time and would never have got involved with him if I wasn't promised that he was getting out. I admire people who have the strength to survive such relationships but you need to develop compassion, understanding and acceptance that some people don't want this for their lives.

This article is truly inspiring. After reading it, I decided to look at the comments to see the views and reflections of others who could relate to the bittersweet positivity that the author had to share with us…then I came across Sara’s comments.

Coming from a freshman in college even I know at my young age that you are one of the most unbelievable, inconsiderate, and disgusting people I’ve ever come across. Regardless your opinion, there’s a line drawn when people become hostile, harsh, and belligerent to others merely because they believe their opinion is “superior”.

During my life I have only met one man in the army and my God do I respect him with all I’m worth. We attend the same college and we are different in many ways including academically, but I know that I’m not nearly as brave as he is to make the commitments he does every day. It doesn’t matter about your upbringing, your social status, intelligence, none of that matters when somebody sacrifices so much to protect you in the future and none of that should define who is “superior” to whom.

God help you because you don’t understand the first thing about respect to another human being. Continue being selfish and watch your world spiral out of control, because there are people out there stronger and wiser than you will ever be.

I’m glad I got to read what you said today because I’ve realized what I never want to become when I grow up. Nobody should ever become so bitter and senseless to others.

Grow up. If I can do it, so can you.

WOW. i know all of Sara’s comments were from a long long time ago but man did they get under my skin! Army guys are worthless and wont have careers after the Army?? my man is a MP and the Army has given him SO many opportunities to be trained in skills that he can later use after he retires from the Army at 38 and starts a career to make retirement money and a regular salary! first off he is trained to be a police officer. he also has been certified to be a K9 handler. he is planning on doing much more training like Special Forces. when he retires at 38 he can go be a regular officer, a K9 officer, join SWAT or pretty much anything in the Police field! all thanks to training he has received in the Army. and when he applies for a job and they see Retired Army on the application, you can bet that that is gonna put him so much further ahead of other people applying for the job. and all this time apart while he is training and being stationed so far away from me is gonna be well worth it later in life when we are married and together. you better believe i’m damn proud of my man!

To all of you women that can handle the army life, I look up to you. My boyfriend Corey to whom I’ve been with over 3 years is seriously considering the army, and it breaks me down more and more every second that passes, I know its not like he’s “running” away but it feels like it. I want to be able to support him but I don’t think I’ll be strong enough, like I told him I want a husband that is with me every day but how could I punish him for protecting my country? I really need some advice about how to keep strong and what to do if he signs.

Im fifteen and i fell in love with a boy (man) going into the military. we have been on and off together now for two years and i really think its going to last. im really scared though about him leaving. you said that its hard and im afraid that i wont be able to handle the pressure of being in high school and having my boyfriend in the military. i thought about leaving him but that option doesnt seem to work because im more miserable than ever without him. i dont know what to do or how to handle this… im so scared..

My brother and sister were both in the military, and a lot of my family is as well; I always feel so proud of them. I know it will be the same with my boyfriend, The distance and communication is going to be hard, but in the end i have faith that it will all be worth it.

My boyfriend left for the air force this Valentines Day. It has been the hardest thing I have EVER had to do! Reading this really helped me, and i could not agree with you more! It is truly amazing to be in a relationship with a military man. I have no doubt that this time apart will only make our relationship that much better! I have been counting down the days to see him! I have 39 left!! I use it as my motivation to get through each day.
I am so glad to know that there are SOO many other women in this same situation. Ive been talking to my friends about everything, but it is just not the same since they are not in the same situation.
Just this week I received 3 letters from him! and I love it!!!

Im 16 and my boyfriend is part way through is basic training, i know im only young, but it has made me become a stronger person. Although i am petrified of losing him and i have to admit i am struggling now it feels good just to talk to someone who actually knows what is going on. Most my friends dont understand how hard it is, they all still say how they didnt see there boyfriend last night and they miss him so much. In my head ilaugh, they dont have a clue how i feel, and i try talking to them but they dont understand i guess. xxx

This article is great , I like how you made it lighthearted too . Our boyfriends and or husbands are amazing people, such such heros . I find that talking to other military gfs and wives in the same situation as me keeps me strong because I have found that people with no contact with the army to not be very supportive as they don't understand what we are going through.Anyone who wants to talk just drop me a message.

ESP since with have a dauqhter toqether. Im dealinq with an 3 in 1 situation. I’ve been looking for some woman that share that same interest with me bcus my friends dnt understand. It’s really hard knowing we have to deal with this for the rest of our lifes. Not seeing your boyfriend/spouse as much as u would Luke to. But it makes us better and stronger woman. No one but us will know how an army relationship feels like until they get into one.

I am 17 and my boyfriend is in the army currently serving in Afghanistan. After reading some of the posts I was moved. While every story was different we all share the same heartache and fears. To my ladies who have men going into boot camp I can tell you that it is not easy because there is little to no communication, but you are never alone. Personally, I get contact with my man almost everyday while he is over seas, still do not be fooled there are times where we go for a few days without (very rare) and sleep is non-existent on my side. However, I encourage you to be strong for your loved one and remember that they count on you for the hard times more than you know. There's nothing worse than when the are away and their loved one breaks their heart. I have heard countless stories of this and it hurts to know that some truly do not understand what love is. If you really love them you stay through the hard and easy times if not, I personally don't see true love.

As for the application process, hes gotta be able to do it himself, just be there for the emotional side with him

my boyfriend, is going to the Army in two or three years and its driving me crazy to be honest.
i DONT want him to go and im scared, he is going in the Army and just going to be in the Auto stuff and work on the vehicles and that stuff.
but he's told me that sometimes they will demand the men on the bass to go in battle too.
so im so scared i'm 17 and my boyfriend is 17.
he said he wont be leaving til the time is right but i dont want him to.
can someone tell me how to cope with this. please

Thu, 20th Sep 201211:09 pm 

Yours sounds similar to mine except that mine is leaving for two to three years in a month. It is so challenging and i hate to think about it to much because it makes things a lot worse. You just got to believe in them and be strong. I'm struggling with coping with this myself, I just know that it helps if you don't think of the "what ifs" because that will just make you feel like you are going to go crazy. But the only way that I feel helps me to cope is to keep your head up, be there for them and go though life. Keep strong.

An intriguing discussion is definitely worth comment. I believe that you

should write more on this subject, it may not be a taboo subject

but generally folks don’t talk about such issues. To the next! All the best!!

Awesome post. My boyfriend of 6 years has been in the army for a couple and is finishing his first deployment. It has been extremely tough and often time I feel like I can't relate with anyone. It is good to know that others are fighting to be just as strong.

My boyfriend just informed that he's going into the army.I have complete mixed emotions.I feel sad,happy,and hurt at the same time.We know that it will be hard during his basic training phase because we wont be able to communicate with each other during that time,but I've already promised to send him pictures and letters.I love him so much that it hurts to see him go,but I know deep down inside that he's bettering the country as well as himself. I'm sure everyone on this site is in the same frame of mind.I'm seeking the same help that every female must face and that is how to cope.

I am an army fiancé and have been for a year. it’s been a battle with my emotions but its exactly how you worded it. it’s the best type of relationship out there, in my eyes because that man will always give you the respect you deserve. I am so proud of my fiancé.

Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied on

the video to make your point. You obviously know what youre talking about, why throw

away your intelligence on just posting videos to your site when you

could be giving us something informative to read?

My boyfriend has just started his training for the army , I am 16 and he is 18. We are so in love but I can't help always feeling lonely because the only contact we have are 5 minute phone calls once a week. With all the letters in the post it's eating at my mind , not because I want to go party or be a 'normal' 16 year old girl , because it's such an emotional train.

I may be 16 but I know what I want in life, and that's him. It's just not as easy as some may say. Go for a army bloke , just be prepared.

I greatly appreciate you talking about your military relationship. I am going through many emotions, since I am so new of him leaving, staying with me for a few weeks, leaving, some more leaving and leaving for 5 years now! Reading this blog makes me happy that I can relate with you and as well with treadmill situation. I'm happy to know that I'm not the only one going through this.

I love this! My boyfriend too is in the Army, and whenever people find out they say the same thing, but I don't look at it as a bad thing where people should feel sorry. I totally agree with you though! I don't dwell on it, and I don't let it get me down because I know he loves it and it's what he's born to do. It's definitely very hard, and there are many, many times where I just break down but I couldn't imagine life without him!!
