ABC - After Boot Camp 2 months ago

Well my boyfriend has graduated from boot camp =] and we just got put through our first test of the whole not seeing each other disappointment. He was hoping to get RA so hed have an extra three months of pay so it wouldnt be a big deal if he went and spent money on a flight up to PA, but because of his MOS training starts right after MCT he cant miss it. so because he doesnt have enough money for MCT and traveling he had to give up the visit. Other then boot camp it was our first run in with the rejection of not being able to see each other. thankfully we’re both dealing with it really well. Although he did say he had something he wanted to do/tell me when he came up but now hes going to wait till the next time we see each other because he said its something he needs to ask in person. my friend thinks hes going to propose but idk. so i have to wait like 5-7 months for that lol or christmas if i have enough money to fly out and see him in Missouri. Semper Fi <3

my boyfriend is gonna be graduating boot camp Oct 9th ‘09 =] Im gonna be going down to the graduation so i can see him as a marine for the first time =] we’ve been talking about him joining since the day we met and discussing how we’re gonna get through this. we’re both dedicated to each other but also our own lives. we are also very stubborn hahaha i actually had a girl from our highschool tell me im stupid and should just dump him hes not worth it and youll never make it. shes just gonna be one of the many people we’ll prove wrong. we both dont believe in cheating and agreed if either of us feels like we cant do this well break up. no pressure. hopefully that never happens. we have also talked about getting married after he gets out of MCT and gets stationed. so here goes life with him =] semper fi.

options? 10 months ago

I am currently the fiance of a Cpl. stationed in Okinawa, Japan. The reason for my concern (for lack of a better word that doesnt decribe going insane) is that he and i were planning on having a simple ceremony in the states in March. He put his leave request in, went to the marriage classes, and completed humvee course, fit course, and is now on an “op” at camp foster. I guess after review of the request, it was denied. Although i am distraught at the news, here i am now looking for other solutions. As a result, i am planning to make my way to Okinawa, and with one month to go (as far as our previously planned wedding date goes..)I would like to know what procedures must be taken and/or done in order for us to be able to get married in Okinawa. Does anyone know?. *currently feeling sad/hopefull =]



Gonna Marry My Marine 10 months ago

God love them all, they can be very hard headed. After reading the posts from other members having already married Marines, I believe I am ready for this one.

Thick Skulls, yeah I’ve got one, hard as adamantite! Military family lineage helps a lot. I am prior service US Army as well, so I’m born, bred, and raised military. I know what the life calls for and I love every minute of it, even the heartbreak. I wouldn’t give it up for the world.

This will actually be my third marriage, so I was really hesitant about accepting his proposal. But seeing the way he is with my daughter (1st marriage) and how much she absolutely adores him and can’t get enough of him, I was sure the answer was “Yes!”

We’re taking the whole Marine Corps wedding to a new level. Small and quaint actually, there will be less than 50 people at our wedding including the Honorary Guard. We’ve also decided to have it on the beach at Camp Pendleton. I’ve got wonderful plans that is going to make this the most memorable day of his life so when he goes back to Iraq in ten months, he’s got some tales for the boys. Anyone who loves a Marine knows how much those boys talk about us!!!

I’ve got to agree with previous posters, marrying a Marine is not for the feign of heart. Luckily for me, I’ve got one daughter, my crafts, and a strong desire to finish my degree in Studio Art and Business Administration. I’ve got more to keep me busy. Is HE gonna worry about me with the bills and car? No, I’m the financial one in our relationship and I grew up working on cars with my father. Give me an oil pan and a wrench over doing the dishes ANY day!

i’m pretty much scared/excited out of my mind, i need to know that everything is going to be ok. i’m 17, still in highschool and i’m getting married and moving to san diego in december… i have to finish highschool there… if anyone can give me any solace, i could sure use it. and it’s not even that i’m second guessing him and i, it’s that, it’s just a scary thing to leave everything i’ve ever known and move 500 miles south… someone please help. thank you for listening to my worries… no one at home is really helping.

With some reservations... 2 years ago

For me, it was totally worth it. I’m hard headed, thick skinned, independent, loud, and don’t know when to stop beating my head against a brick wall. I am good at paperwork and can stand a fair amount of BS from The System. I survived the USMC not too badly, although I admit, I did not get the full indoctrination – My Marine was on his last two years when we married. Still, I have had to put up with the Marine Corps way of thinking since day one, and nearly 20 years later, it doesn’t seem like it will go away. I’ve learned to accept it and move on (for the most part, any way… did I mention I am hard headed?).

Don’t marry your Marine if you think you want to be the Center of His Universe. You aren’t. You won’t ever be. But it’s OK. You’ll be the only woman in his life, and he’ll love you dearly – you just will not be the Most Important Thing in All Creation to him. You’ll get to see him in those gorgeous Dress Blues on your wedding day. Watch him work out in those cute little red shorts. Maybe go to the firing range on his day off and watch him plunk bullets into the middle of a target for hours on end. Perhaps you’ll follow him around the country or the globe. He’ll love you to bits, yes, but you better have a hobby or two for when he is with his mistress (the USMC, not another woman, silly).

Don’t marry a Marine if you know you’re a wimp – unless you really intend on developing a strong, independent, hard headed streak. I don’t mean you have no muscles or are tiny boned or short. I mean if you don’t have Thick Skulls somewhere in your family lineage, you are probably better off marrying a normal man. Men test your patience to begin with. Your Marine has 100s of years of Warrior Men behind him to teach him how to be a Real Pain in The Neck.

In this age of War In The Middle East, it’s pretty scary to be contemplating marrying a Marine, I would think. You Marine is a Warrior. Don’t beg him to stay when he needs to volunteer to ship out to Iraq. Doesn’t mean he doesn’t love you. Means he is compelled; he has A Calling; he can’t help himself. What he will need is a smart, independent woman who will be able to make do with whatever life throws her while he is in The Sand Box – so he doesn’t have to worry if she knows how to pay bills or get the oil changed – so he can concentrate on the War and on Staying Alive.

Be aware that the paperwork for anything with the Marines is a nightmare – and you, being the one with the Power of Attorny, will be the one doing all of it – NOT your Marine. You will sign your name, his name and make endless copies. Even if they don’t require copies, make copies of everything for your self and know where you put it. For all its wisdom, the USMC often loses things at the most inconvenient times. Your copies are your saviors.

If you’re considering marrying what they call a “Lifer”, consider even more carefully what you do. Lust is great. Lust with a Marine is really great. But Love is more than chemistry and what happens between the sheets. And sometimes you will feel like you are the only one working on the relationship – and you will be right – and you will have to accept that as The Way It Is… or you can go crazy… or divorce Your Marine.

Would I do it again? In less than a heartbeat. Would I recommend it to anyone I know. Absolutely Not.

The only thing tougher than a Marine is – His Wife!

Bless our Troops and Those Who Wait for Them, for They also serve.
