civibf Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 Hello all, This is my first post. I see a lot of ladies with boyfriends in the military, but are there any civilian guys out there with a girlfriend in the forces? If so, tell me what it's like. My girlfriend and I have been together for 8 months, all of which has been long distance (15hr drive). We did live in the same city at one point, but it was just sex with no strings attached at that point. I'm moving to Victoria to be with her for 4 months before I go back home for my last year of school (7 days left!) She hasn't been on tour yet, and I worry about her safety. I suppose it's no different if a woman has a boyfriend in the military.
aerogurl87 Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 First off I'd like to commend you on sticking things out with her. I could've dated someone in the military, but the fact that he had barely any free time to talk to me killed that idea. Anyway, I'd say that it's ok to worry about her safety as you care about her and that's normal. Just don't dwell on it and make it seem like a big deal. When people are in the military, they look to their family and friends as a way to get away from knowing that their job is a dangerous one. So don't worry her about her work and just be there for her as a support system.
