We Are Army Girlfriends

Deployed <3

Our story is magical.  We went to High School together, lost touch for over 5 years, reconnected 3 months ago and now he is deployed in Afghanistan.  Im desperate, he is out there in dangerous missions.  I cant wait for him to return and start our lives together.  We both want this so much.  This is my first deployment… his 5th and last.  im so scared, just wanted to reach out, express myself and share my story with all you ladies.  We are all going through the same, and at times it does feel like im alone in this.

Why did your bf join the army?

He wanted to do something meaningful with his life. Get outside of his daily routine, see what life was like outside of Florida, travel. Make us proud of him. (i mean we were always proud but you get the idea.) 

I have been with my boyfriend for a year now and in the beginning I learned he enlisted in the Air Force. I didn't think to much of it at the time until he got a call saying he leaves June 25. I don't know what to do or how to cope with it. He says he wants to be with me and make it work out but I'll be in college and he will be wherever and I'm scared that something will happen. That he will find someone else that he can actually be with. Any ways to help? Or advice?

Believe me, he will worry about you meeting someone you can be with in person too. If you both love each other very much, I’m sure nobody can replace the other. You’ve been together for a year! :) Distance cannot break away true love. I say support him and he should support you in college. Long distance sucks but it’s not impossible. Maybe once you finish college you can finally live with him. That’s what I’m doing with my boyfriend. We’ve been together for two years now. Been through basic, AIT, deployment, and still going strong. I wish I were with him and eventually I will be. So don’t give up. Think of this as preparing yourself for the future.

So, my boyfriend is going to basic in September. We've been together for six months and I care soo much for him. He's perfect but I just don't know what to do. I've never been the best with relationships. I get bored or frustrated and give up. It's how it's always been. I'd like to think that I'd stay loyal while he's gone but I'm in high school there's so many temptations and I just can't be sure. Should I just save us both the trouble and end it now? I just don't wanna hurt him.

Every guy I liked before my boyfriend bored me eventually. But he didn’t. He was the one I always came back to. If your boyfriend really is perfect for you then what other guy out there can compare to him? None. Sure he wont always be around but if everything else about him is wonderful, I think you should give it a chance. Only you know how you feel about him. And you also know yourself. Yes it will be a struggle to date a guy in the army. And yes there are temptations for some of us but none of that is worth it. I guess if you think your not emotionally equipped for a relationship like this and you know in your heart that it wouldn’t work out in the end - then I’d end it now. Before making any decisions think about how that choice will affect you in a week, a month, 3 months, even a year from now. If you can’t see him in your future then I wouldn’t waste your time, nor his.

Army GF in need of advice

Hey everyone! I met a Army medic almost four months ago. The night We met it felt like We knew each other our whole life… We were insuperable the first three weeks and he got shipped off suddenly and couldn’t even tell Me he was going. We didn’t talk for a month and he finally got to text and call Me the middle of January and thought he would be home by my birthday on the 21st of January and I have not heard from him again since the 18 th of January. This has been so hard for Me. I really need someone to talk to and help Amex through this.

My ex boyfriend and I recently started talking again, we've been on and off for two years and now it's getting serious. He stopped talking to me for about 4 days , he has no phone or anything so I confronted him at school and he said he's leaving for the army in 5 months. I don't know what to do.

It sucks to find out that way.. :( Have you guys talked any more about it? If you two think you can handle it, I say go for it. Support his journey. You have 5 months left to make memories. But really it’s best to just talk about every aspect of it together.

So I've been with my boyfriend for about 6 months and valentines day is soon but he's currently in Germany. I want to send him something nice and sweet, but I've already done everything I could think of, I sent him kisses with reasons written on them why I want to kiss him, Ive sent him a ribbon hug, I've baked cookie/sent snacks, ive sent personal hygiene and just handy stuff, and also matching pendants that he wears on his dog tags and i on a necklace, but want to do something better now!!

You can do that cute “50 Reasons Why I Love You” thing with the deck of cards, writing every reason on each card. You can send him something that relates to his favorite movie, show, book, sport, etc. Maybe something that involves your favorite memory of each other, or reminds you of your first date. Pinterest has a lot of cute suggestions.

Like every milso (military significant other), we deal with the pain by sticking together, trying to stay busy, and venting to one another. To help u get through the pain u are going through at this moment, i would say u should vent to a milso. And Ofcourse your friends wouldn't understand luv, they aren't milsos. They don't have a complete inside look on how we feel and what we are going through. Which is why I'm telling u, u should meet milsos and start talking to them. I'm one so feel free

This is great! I love seeing girls reach out to other milSOs :D and I agree, although my friends mean well, they don’t truly understanwheat we’re going through.
