    I'm the first girlfriend my boyfriends had. We're both 19 and I leave for basic in 2 months my dep is only 3 months long and my parents are extremely strict with me, so I can't always go see him (its more of an every other day sort of thing) we both know about the nice things about marriage and that if we did we could live together a whole lot easier, but I just don't know that he's ready to take that leap as we've only been dating for almost two months. He said he was going to give me a promise ring to show that he will wait and stand by my side during my 6 years of service. Even though my plan is to serve atleast 25. Iv never felt like this towards anyone and honestly I feel like he's my soulmate. So I can't help but feel like what he's about to go through with me is really hard on him more than me. :/ I'm so scared that il lose him but my service is more important to me if not just as much as he is. Does anyone else fear like this?

    My boyfriend is suppose to leave in February for basic but he got the call lastnight for special forces and to train with them I'm excited that he's excited but then again it means he leaves very soon. I'm nerve but excited to learn more with him. We're very open towards eachother it helps alot. We promised to write eachother everyday while he's away at basic. I'm just worried were gonna drift apart. I've recently have gotten a promise ring from him. I would never ever hurt him, ever! I'm proud of him I'm proud to call him my own air men. I hope everything works out for me and him so when I sign in August the following year everything will be alright and perfect.

    hi, i just wanted to say ur an awesome girl for sticking with him. im waiting to get my date for BMT. me and my gf of 5 years have been in a long distance relationship (4 hours away) this whole time. we try to see each other at least once a month, so it shouldnt be too hard for us. but im not sure if i should wait to ask her to marry me or do it after my BMT is over. i know im ready, thats not the problem, i just dont want her or other ppl to think im doin the typical "marry me before i leave so i know ill have someone waiting when i come home" thing. what do u think?

    hi im jess. um my boyfriend and i started going out 9-8-09 and we broke up a few months after but we went back out 3-2-10. he is about to go into college but he wants to go to the air force instead. when he told me this i cried a lot because idk how it is going to work out. we dont live in the same town now and we only see each other once a week so i keep telling myself if i can take once a week i can handle this but idk. i am afraid for him and what could happen and we talked about but he wont change his mind. he talked to a recruiter yesterday and he is going for a meeting next week. ur message helped me because now i know that i can write him and i know he will get them. i just want to say thank you for this advice.

    In San Antonio, we stayed in a Holiday Inn. It was right outside the base. As for hotels on base, I'm pretty sure that only military can stay there. But I'm not 100% sure. I've got a lot to learn ;)

    He got it by pure luck. He had it on his list as number 5. Honestly, he was pretty upset about it because he wanted to be overseas. But after the initial disappointment of not being overseas he was pretty excited because its close and not many people have the oppertunity to be that close together in a military relationship.



    AND THANK YOU!!!! I'm glad that our story has given you hope! :)

    Nope. Everyone who is going to go on base has to go all at once on that pass. Be sure your name is on it (if your over 18). Anyone under 18, they dont have to have their name on it. Take lots of pictures - the days you spend together will be something you never forget.
