I Am a National Guard Girlfriend

I've only been dating my boyfriend for 4 months so I haven't had to deal with a deployment or anything yet but I'm really scared. I always told myself I would never be a military girlfriend because I wanted control of my relationship...

Hi, im jennifer, i live in new york and here is my story. my boyfriend and i have known each other ever since we were 11 years old. we went to middle school and high school together. literally i thought he was so annoying but we were...

I'm going to vent a little bit.

My boyfriend and I have been together over 2 1/2 years and they have been the most amazing 2 1/2 years. Our relationship is wonderful and I could not ask for more. I have been blessed with a simple life...

My boyfriend has signed up for the National Guard and I am really nervous about the time he is away for bct and ait. I am definitely new to this kind of situation and need any advise possible. Thanks!

I now have a whole new respect for the women who are dating, engaged or married to a man in the military.  There are some days when he's away that the entire day you feel like you have to fake a smile because all you really feel...

My soldier comes home in 15 days! hes been gone since june and this summer has been one of the hardest things ive gone through, i cant wait to see him come off that plane and give him the biggest hug..Army Strong

My boyfriend goes to drill the first weekend of every month. I mean, it's always easy because he's come right home after the 2 day drills. The 3 day drills are a lot more bearable, but still really rough. He told me in June that he'll...

i forgot my phone at home today and after a very long day of work i came home with a text from him!!! he's home, but his mom's in the hospital now in the icu =[ she's been vomitting for the past 36 hours. we plan to spend tomorrow...

Me and my boyfriend have been together for 9 months and he's leaving to go to basic and ati tomorrow. He's been in state reception for the past two weeks. Were both in college and I'm taking summer classes and working to help the time...

I am not really officially a national guard girlfriend anymore, but Jared and I love each other more than anything in the world, we understand each other, and I would give him the clothes off my back and all the money in my pocket if he...

My boyfriend will be leaving for basics January 9, 2012 and will be gone for a whole year doing AIT then Linguist. We have been together for almost 6 years and the longest I've been away from him is a month and that was torture. I just...

I am SO tired of hearing people say "well he's only in the National Guard." What difference does it make? He can still get deployed and be in just as much danger as the other soldiers! I was texting my friend the other day and he said...

I've officially been with my soldier 3 months now.

I can't say him being away at drill is easy, especially when it's for two weeks is easy, but I'm pretty sure it's preparing me for when he gets deployed. About 5 days after my 22nd...

So my new fiance left for basic at Ft. Benning a few days ago! So far I've been holding up much better than I anticipated! He was able to call me from the airport before he flew out, but I havent heard from him since then. Im not going...

So, to celebrate my one year anniversary with my boyfriend, he planned this huge surprise for me. All he told me was that I needed to fix my hair, bring some nice shoes, and get to his house at 7:00 sharp.

When I got there, I walked in...

So I'm sittin in class when my friend reminds me that my Guardsman leaves in May. He goes to basic. It is so close and I have very little time left. I'm scared of what will happen. I mean Ill miss him when he is away. Not being able to...

Hi, I'm Zephyr. This post is going to be a little TL;DR (too long; didn't read), but bear with me.
Last November, my boyfriend joined the Guard. We didn't talk much about it, and even though we always knew it was a possibility (he's...
