Military men
OH baby OH baby!
For me a military man is very apealing yet i hate dating them. Don't get me wrong Im completly head over heels in love with my bf but i HATE that he is in the military. Not only does it steal him away from me, for months or weeks at a time but it just puts a restriction on his life and innevitably mine.
In the past i started dating a guy my junior year of highschool and then he decided to join the Marines. I was totally opposed to it, i felt like he was choosing that over me.. well needless to say we broke up and while he was in bootcamp he wrote me and well we got back together and we stayed together for about 6 months in which , we got engaged in march 08'.. he told me it was the only way that i could be with him and he proposed in a denny's parking lot.. to me just didn't feel like it was right. I ended up deciding it was in our best interest to break up. I broke up with him in late june early july.
As time passed i i started to have feelings for my best friend, which happens to be in the navy. Well i ended up visiting him in South Carolina.. to see if things could progress to something more then friends and well it did.
We have now been dating for 4 months on the 8th. I have fallen in love with him.. and i love everything about him.. it just sucks.. distance sucks. There is nothing good about it. Because the stronger you feel for them it doesn't matter because they still have to leave, its not like they can quit or just stay one more day.. they HAVE to leave.
Have the time i feel like its not fair and other times i feel like its life preparing me.. If we can make it through this then we can make it through anything. I couldn't do it with my last relationship.. he made it too hard.. he controlled everything i did. I couldn't speak to any guys and i had no friends left. I found like the marines changed him for the worse where the navy changed my bf for the better.
Do you think there is a difference in the branches of the military?

Yes and no. I'm in a military school environment. We are mixed branches and allow Navy/Marine, Army, and Air Force to exist side by side. Some of my friends are Air Force, some Army and some Navy contract. They're all in it for different reasons, and they all have different personalities. It's always said that marines are the crazy ones. The ones that do the most dangerous, risk and gutsy things. One of my Army buddies is joining the Air Assault team and he's the craziest guy I know. Another is joining the Navy to get more training in his field because he's getting a degree in nuclear engineering and the Navy is just he best place for experience. Yeah, all the branches train different and do things differently. The Navy/Marine ROTC cadets complain because all they do is attend briefings and learn about submarines. The Air Force cadets march around all day and learn protocol. The Army is the only ROTC that actually does practical training, but that's the way the Army is, all about getting you ready and out there asap. The Air force is much more professional and has many opportunities for ordinary jobs rather than combat. Because of that people also call them wimps.
All branches do the same things though, in terms of initial training, just in different ways. When you first get there, they tear you down. They strip you of everything and life sucks. Then they build you back up, teaching you things, making you stronger and molding you into a good soldier, etc. for their respective branch. Because of the different techniques, though, people will have different experiences and take different things away from the experience. In the end, it's not so much the branches that are different (though they are) but the differences in the people themselves and how they take it.
Sorry this is so long.
