People Don't Understand

Seriously! It's a rough time, going from civilian to air force gf too. But whenever someone complains like that, you just have to remember...They have never been through the things we have. How could we expect them to understand? Everything will be okay though-- and at least you're thankful that he's not spending 6 months in the desert. You have the right mentality from the get-go, so everything should go smoothly even when he does get deployed. :)

I absolutely understand. My boyfriend left earlier this week for BMT and I keep hearing these girls saying that they're gonna miss their boyfriends when they go on a vacation for a couple days or a week. I just tell them, My boyfriend is leaving for almost 3 months and all I can do is write him. Be thankful for what you have. It may hurt to not have him here with me, but I'm a proud Air Force girlfriend.

I'm in the same boat as AFAGirlfriend! My boyfriend also received a full ride to play football and I am pretty much freaking out. We have been together for over a year now and literally see each other every day so going from that to not even being about to talk for three weeks while he is at basics then not being able to see him until September is going to be miserable:/

But I definitely agree! I have friends posting stuff on twitter saying how they miss their boyfriends because they haven't seen them in three days... ummmm... unfollow. haha

Well my boyf doesn't leave until July 17th, but the days keep going faster and faster! It would be wonderful if time would just freeze! But as scared as I am, I know I can do this. You need to remember that too! If y'all truly love each other, nothing can break y'all apart! Stay positive and confident! And keep in mind, he could be at some college partyinnn it up! At least you know he isn't gonna do anything behind your back(; haha



"No one said it would be easy, just worth it"<3

I'm soooo glad you commented, AFAGirlfriend. You're the first girl who has a boyfriend going to the Academy that I've found! I totally get that no one knows how you feel. It's even harder when no one can relate to you. That totally sucks about the whole football thing keeping him busy. On the plus side, he may play games around where you are so you can always go watch or something. That's what a girl in my area did when her boyfriend at the academy played baseball. I'm not very close to her though and he just graduated today actually. Best of luck to you and your boyfriend. I added you as a friend!

I have the same problem. My boyfriend got a full ride scholarship to play football for AFA. He also leaves June 27th.. Weve been dating for way over a year now and its going to be tough on both of us. No one understands what it feels like either. The sad part is, even though they have breaks around Thanksgiving and Winter, he doesnt get much time because of his sport.. So I will hardley see him until Spring.

Thank you so much for your feedback!! Loved the part about marrying the air force. I saw a quote that said "you are his wife, the air force is his mistress." It seems so true! Best of luck to both you and your boyfriend in everything you do and God bless!

I totally understand what you mean. My man has been in the Air Force for 6 years & has done 3 tours over seas all for a year or more. Its really rough. Hes currently stationed in North Carolina & Im in Massachusetts, it sucks being far away but just gotta stick it out & be there for him 24/7 365. I havnt seen my guy in over 7 months but he's being honroably discharged for medical reasons & he is home free in exactly 100 days. Im waiting and counting down. Once he gets back we have a year or so until I join the Air Force. Its crazy we dont just date, marry a Soldier or an Airman we date & marry the Air Force. Everyone will tell you that being a soldier is one of the hardest jobs.... but its not, its being the Girl Friend, Wife & Mother of a Soldier. All the best to you, if you need anyone to talk to im here for ya cause girl Ive gone through it all. The best thing to do is to keep yourself busy, dont pass on nights with friends & movies & all that stuff b/c it makes it harder. & At first he'll prob tell you how much BMT sucks but just be there & tell him it'll get better because is will. :)
