Cahoon130lbs Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 My Boyfriend is going into the Military. He leaves in two months... Do you think that if I go in with him It would work out? Link to post Share on other sites
iceprincess Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 NOOOOO!!!!! Don't go in with him! Joining the military just because you want to be with someone is the wrong reason. You will regret your decision the first month of boot camp. Trust me. Just because he's leaving doesn't mean everything has to end. You can still write to him and he can call you. Sweetie, you're not going to be having loving thoughts of him when you've got a 30-lb rucksack on your back and going on a 10 mile march. I hope that you'll think more wisely about your decision before you do anything. Good luck. Link to post Share on other sites
HokeyReligions Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 Good Grief NO! Its not a good idea anyway, besides which you probably wouldn't be stationed with him! There are a LOT of people serving in our military with boy or girl friends at home. Is he breaking up with you? Did you two talk about not being a couple anymore? How long have you been together? Did you make any commitments to each other? Why is HE joining the military? Joining the military might be good for you on a personal level, but don't join for the wrong reasons. What branch of the military is he joining? Link to post Share on other sites

HokeyReligions Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 Talk to a recruiter before joining to make sure you know what you are getting in to and will be more confident in your decision. Joining the military is, in my opinion, one of the most worthwhile and self-sacrificing things a person can do. I have the utmost respect for our military. I didn't pass the physicals when I was 18 to 20 but I tried repeatedly. Both being in the service would give you some common grounds - things to talk about and similar experiences and may even further the relationship. Link to post Share on other sites
