I Am a Military Girlfriend

I hold no formal recognition with the powers that be. I am at the bottom of the chain. I hold no Military ID card, I am not a dependent or a parent. The man I love may face unspeakable dangers, and I am at the mercy of those who possess...

Gah... Excuse my rant, but I have to get stuff off my chest.

If there is one thing I hate, it's that when I tell people that my boyfriend is in the army the automatically get a look on their face like they feel sorry for me. I really...

Well, obviously I'm not a girlfriend (being a guy and all that) but I'd just like to say to all of you that as a veteran, I'm proud of you all for your love and commitment to our men in uniform.
As one who was once deployed for two...

Hello everyone! First of all, Happy Armed Forces Day to you all! I hope everyone gave their man a call, text, or something to let him know he's amazing :) Also, I'm back from vacation! Sorry I haven't been on much, I had no Wifi at the...

So I just realized it's been a bit since writing a story ,and figured I would fix that before too many more days got away from me.

So today marks the beginning of the third week of my Fiance's Boot camp training at Fort Benning. Ive...

Like many of you, my boyfriend and I are doing the long distance relationship at this time till he's released from the army. It's hard but we make it work because we are truly best friends and lovers who have been there for each other...

I don't know about you ladies but sometimes I really wish he'd just propose. However my hunny thinks we're too young and doesn't want to ask for awhile so I'll just have to wait and be long distance :/

I've seen so many posts here on experienceproject that a lot gfs and wives were having problems with talking to their guy because he's too damn tired to speak. I think they should go easy on the men. I am currently on video call with my...

199 (give or take a week or two) more days until my boyfriend comes home from Afghanistan.

He left in January, came home for his 2 week leave in April (which was perfect, we spent everyday together), and then went back to complete the...

"Dear civilian girl,

You complain that your boyfriend has worked late all week and have barely seen him.

-I look forward to the two weeks a year we spend together.

You complain because he doesn't call you enough.

-My heart is...

I stumbled upon a poem today that really seemed to hit home. I just wanted to share it you all as I know most of you can relate.

You don't know.
But im the girl who cries every morning. 
In hopes every night for his safe return home...

I wake up every morning and check my phone looking for a text message or hoping I didn't miss a random call. There's normally nothing. I go through my day working in a daycare practically on my own with nine screaming kids but I try to...

I'm sure I'm not the first one to experience this, and I wont be the last. But I wanted to vent.
I'm graduating from my high school in 3 days. When my boyfriend went to basic, he swore he'd do everything he could to be here to share...

My guy has completely turned around from last week and lately he's been a COMPLETE mush! Loving it and saving every single email because usually, following his moments of weakness where he cannot help but declare how much he cares for...

I just got news that my bf and a good friend of mine are both getting deployed (actually one is already deployed). Both of them are from the same camp but in different units. They will both be gone for two months to somewhere with no...

Today I did something bad, and something I shouldn't have done.
Ever since I got a letter from my soldier I've been missing him so much, and I was on such a good streak but now I'm feeling like I've hit a small bump in the road. Hearing...

You know you are a Military Girlfriend/Wife when..1. You don't mind a phone call waking you up at 4 a.m.2. You tell people that ask that he's 'only' been gone a month.3. The smallest contact (short email or 2 minute phone call) from...

Hi every one,
I met my soldier 2 years ago online and we are together since then. I'm German and he is at the British army stationed in Germany. But we live 400 km apart which makes it very difficult to meet. Now they told him that his...

Please know that I am not intending for this to be a rant about all military wives, I just recently had a bad experience and wish to share my frustration to get it off my chest.

Most military wives I have encountered have been very...

What's that, civilian girlfriend? Your civilian boyfriend is seriously injured?My boyfriend has training for that.What's that, civilian girlfriend? You got robbed last night because someone came in your house?My boyfriend has training...
