ashleedna Cob Adder Oct 27, 2011 6:15 AM My boyfriend is based at Cob Adder and has been working so much that I haven't gotten to talk to him in nearly 6 days he is losing mail and internet soon anyday now in fact I am now worried that I won't get to talk to him until the his deployment is over, which isnt until next summer. I miss him so much and wish there was a way to tell him I need to talk to him. Though it seems like an impossible thing all I can do is email and leave offline Yahoo messages, Wish there was a way to call of contact someone there that could tell him I need to talk him atleast one more time before we cant talk for months, Never thought that the impossible could make my heart hurt so much. I wish I had an idea where he is going after Cob Adder. I just want to know he is doing okay and there seems to be no way to find out. Days like this are so hard when you cant talk to the one that you love,

asoldierssweetheart08 A poem I wrote while my love was deployed Sep 6, 2011 5:02 PM Have you ever just stopped and stared at the young lady in line at the store? She not like any other young lady. She looks tired, like she hasn't slept in days. You may notice she wears a pair of dog tags around her neck. You wonder what its like to be her, to be a real life military wife. Some how the thought of being a military wife scares you and you wonder how she does it on a day-to-day basis. The young lady in line may look tired but somehow she still looks beautiful all at the same time. She holds her head up high and puts on a smile even though her heart is half a world away. She doesn't know where he is, or when he's coming home, much less if he will ever come home. She has a glow about her, one that you don't see often from where you are from. It's her glowing with the utmost patriotism you have ever seen. That young lady that you stare at might wear a smile on the outside but on the inside she's dying. She wakes up night after night reaching for her husband only to be disappointed by an empty bed. She tears up when she hears the National Anthem or when she hears something about another soldier dying. You make think only her husband fights in this war but your dead wrong so does she. I am a military wife. I sit on the home front not on the front lines. I stand proud and strong. I may be scared and tired as hell, but I support my husband. I support every man and woman that are in the armed forces, the ones that are fighting in a war far away. I support the ones who might not make it home and the ones who will. Some people choose to call us stupid or ignorant for fighting this war and being military wives. Well without the many men and women who put their lives on the line those ignorant people wouldn't even have the right or ability to say what they say. So I say if you cant stand behind our troops, then go stand in from of them. There are men and women out there that have families and loved ones they may never see again the second they step on that plane. They don't deserve to die for such an ignorant group of people. So those of you that don't support our servicemen and women go stand in front of them. You can take their bullet. I am a Proud Military Wife. I laugh, scream, cry, and even sing too loud. I'm strong. I'm courageous at times and I'm weak others. When you see lady or man young or old, that is wearing a pair of dog tags or anything military related, take a second out of your day and tell them how much you appreciate them and the sacrifices their family makes. Their face will light up and they will say God Bless you. That lady or man will smile for the rest of the day knowing that someone recognizes them and their military family. So God Bless you all. You are never alone in anything that you go through, from deployments to getting orders to move half way across the country, or even the world. You have me and everyone else, you may have never met us but we are your military family and we know what you are going through. Written by: Shirley Benson (Stockton ME)

smhurt5189 just started dating my boyfriend who is planning on enlisting. Aug 25, 2011 7:15 PM I just started dating this guy who I am head over in heels in love with. We have been best friends for about a year now and just started dating. He is planning on enlisting in the air force in January. I'm not sure what to expect or how I am going to get through this. Was wondering if anyone had advice. Thanks Steph~

pinkcamoarmychicky Post Nov 14, 2010 9:45 AM The ARMY runs deep in my family. My grandfather was in vietnam, my uncle was in Desert Storm, and my Dad almost made a carrer out of the Airforce. There have been countless people before them in my family who had military carrers. When I was younger I swore to myself that I wouldn't get involved in the military life, but of course the inevitable has happened. About two and a half years ago I met this awesome guy and fell instantly. Well today he just broke the news to me that he's decided to join the ARMY. I'm to the point of I don't know what to do. Although we met so long ago, we've just recently been talking about relationships and decided to take the major leap from just friends to dating. I'm extremely worried about him, that something will happen and he'll be deployed to Iraq and die. I really do care for him, but I'm not quite sure that things will work out. I know that some people are able to adjust to this transition just fine. But I also realize that it's not something for every woman in the world.

PoppyDayArmyWife Poppy Day begins!!! Oct 29, 2010 4:47 AM Its Poppy season here in the UK, weird because its my name but also more poignant this year because my husband is a soldier and the point is to raise funds for ex military and military in need. It has great support and its wonderful to see so many Poppies - so many people supporting our troops. Follow me at PoppyArmyWife on twitter. Thanks Girls xxx

I've noticed there's nothing like the support, stories, care and commaderie between women who are married to men in the military. Deployments, field rotations, training, long hours, and unexpected changes are all apart of our lives. We know how to clean a uniform, the difference between "civilian time" and "military time" and an unrelenting list of abbreviations (PT's, ACU's, B CO, the list goes on forever). My husband was deployed for 14 monthes last year and my family and friends just couldn't seem to say or do the right thing for me when I was having a hard time...but Army wives I had just met could take a look at me and know where I was coming from and say just what I needed to hear. Most of the friends I've made in the military I have nothing else in common with except that we love our soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines. So, if you're in love with a military man, join us! Share your stories, funny and sad, ask for advice and give it when you've got it.
