A personal story in the experience: I Want to Be the Best Partner I Can Be For My Army Man
S o when my soldier left I promised him he wouldn't even recognize me come his graduation ceremony from Fort Benning GA :)

Sadly my friends have cheered me up by feeding me so maybe he won't recognize me in the bad way lol but ill diet now for the next 2 months and then maybe do something with my hair and some indoor tanning

I am working on being a good girlfriend by supporting him too. I think its fabulous that hes in the army im so jealous i think its cool he is my hero not just cause he's protecting his country and me but because i wish i could be doing what hes doing but i have excersise induced asthma and they don't let women do anything combat anyways :( oh well i can still cheer from the sidelines :)

And know that i will continue to work and improve at being the best gf for him :)

My boyfriend was at Ft. Benning last year for boot camp. His graduation was beautiful and I wanted to look special for him but I drove up that night/morning from South Florida so by the time I got there my clothes were messed up and my hair was completely a mess but he looked at me, smiled told me I was beautiful and that he missed me.

I said this to say that your man loves you the way that you are (or he would not have chosen to be with you) and he will love you if you get in better shape.

For the young lady who just had a boyfriend leave for Ft. Benning all I can tell you is hang in there. Send him letters and a care package every now and then. He will not be able to write you letters alot but he will look forward to hearing from you.

Have fun, be patient and look forward to seeing him again - it will be worth the wait.
