Marine Girlfriend or fiance or wife
| You know your a Marine Girlfriend / Fiance / Wife when: 1. We own at least one article of clothing that says USMC, Marines, or Proud USMC Girlfriend and wear it at least once a week (I wear mine daily) 2. Our AIM/ AOL/ Yahoo profiles say Semper Fi or have song lyrics in them at least once 3. We Know what the terms Head, Rack, Field Day and PT mean and have no trouble using them on a daily basis (none of my family understands any of it) 4. We know the difference between a Poolee, Recruit, Marine and know the rank structure like the back of our hand 5. We feel every note of the songs "I'm Already There", "When I'm Gone", "Here Without You", "Proud to be an American" and "The National Anthem" 6. We watch the news and cry hysterically for fallen Marines, Soldiers, Airmen and Sailors and no one seems to understand why 7. We just cry.... and cry.... and cry... and cry for no reason at all and we are fine with that!! (It's normal isn't it?) 8. We have at least one family member or friend that doesn't approve or understand our long distance relationship and the 9th way to identify a USMC girlfriend.... 9. At the ages 17, 18, 19, 20, 21; we have no problem saying YES to a marriage proposal (this one I don't necessarily agree with, but I do understand) dyzgoneby |

post a commentwell i am 17 and sure didnt have a problem saying YES to my marine when he asked me to marry him!!! :) and i agree with everything
Im only 16. My Boyfrined went off to boot about 1 week after school. I already miss him and its nice to know that I'm not the the only fool out there who gave her heart to Marine
:) I agree with every single one of these. The song "I'm already there" is my ringtone!!
amen to all...im a proud marines girl n i agree with all of them..also add "home"by daughtry to that song list...
I am 18 and i ve been with my boyfriend for 2 years. He had just left July 6th to go to boot camp for the marines.. I miss him so much.. i write him all the time. i miss him so much
It is so hard but i am trying to be strong bc i know that i will always be here for my man... I am so proud of him..
i owuld have no problem getting married i love him so much. i just bought one usmc girlfriend shirt but i am buying so many more on friday.. i support him100%
I am 17 yrs old and a proud to be marines girl also like all of you, i knew my boyfreind for 8 yrs b4 we started to go out and he has already been deployed to iraq (he is 20 btw) i knew it will be hard to be apart and start a realtionship with knowing i wont see him much but we talked about it and gave it thought and i know i can do it, but knwoing he will be going to iraq for a 2nd deployment frightens me specialy more then ever since we go out now, i support him 100% and i pray for him and all the fellow marines, i just wish i could better understand him and what he goes through! but what i can do for him is give him all the love and support he needs and i know for those who also have a marine b/f can get thru it like me : ) best of wishes
i am 18 and my boyfriend just left earlier this week for 7 months and i already miss him... i feel so alone even when i am with a millions of people..we have been together for 3 years he is my high school love and will always be mine
Hey ladies. Feel free to go to http://chat.aim.com/chats/military/usmcgals if you ever need some extra support or something to keep your mind occupied.
I am 21 years old and I just recently became engaged to my Marine.He has been stationed in Washington D.C. going on 2 years.We are already planning our Wedding for March. Everyone thinks we are rushing things and is being so negative. But I love him so much and I just want to be with him. Plus we wanted to get married before he gets deployed. My heart and prayers go out to all the women that has a loved one in the military. God Bless.
my marine has not left yet and i was wondering if anyone would tell me what is is like when they leave?
if you would please email me at horse_lover_cassie@yahoo.com
I'm 16, my boyfriend is a United States Marine and I'm so proud of him for accomplishing Boot Camp. I support him 110%. I had no problem saying yes to my Marine when he proposed.
I'm 17 and boyfriend just left for bootcamp a week ago, I already miss him so much but I'm staying strong for him. I know that his love will always be with me, and I can feel it everyday. Good Luck with all of you too!
My boyfriend is a US Marine, he is stationed in Hawaii...lickily i leave next thursday to go see him and spend a few days with him. I get to go to the Marine Corps Ball and i am so excited to see him. I miss him so much. He get depoyed sometime next summer to eithe Iraq or Afganistan...I am so worried but I know the Marines trained him well and he will come home safe. God Bless our troops, our country, and all the military girlfriends out there....
I know it is hard when they are away...but always remember as much as you miss them, they miss you the same.... it will all get better in time.
I love you Caleb! Cant wait to see you...MUAH!!
okayyy... im english and my boyfriend is the marines..
its bare hard not seeing him every day and it breaks my heart when i finally do hear from him.
im only 17 but being away from someone you love it makes you realise how strong your feelings are towards them...
eeee :( how depressing x
I am 15 years old and a proud USMC girlfriend. Matt and I have been together for a year now and I don't regret a single second of it. So many people don't understand why we bother to stay together because he's away so much. It hurts, but I do it because I love him. It doesn't get easier; you just learn to roll with the punches and hold every moment you spend with him in your heart, carrying it with you until he returns. Every word of those songs hit me with such meaning. I wish all of you USMC Girlfriends out there the best of luck.
I am 17 and my boyfriend and I have been dating for 2 years. A year and a 1/2 of that he was in the delayed entry program and recently went to basic training in august. It was the hardest thing I have ever went though. But its all done and over with he left a few days ago for MCT training. Its always hard to see him go but every time it gets just a little easier. As long as I know he is safe I will be okay :). He has not yet been deployed but we hope for the best.
i love the last one! my boyfriend just propsed befor leaving for mct my mom was mad at first considering im 16! but i love him and i hope it works out i just got a letter from him today ...well im gana go cry good luck to every one
i love this.. its all so true.
my boyfriend is a marine and just left for MCT a week ago. i miss him and love him so much. im only 19 and i have no problem telling people ive found the man im going to spend my life with :) its so hard being apart but i know everything will be okay. He is my hero :D and its true that crying all the time becomes normal! I love my Marine with all my heart tho!
I'm also 16 and my boyfriend leaves Sunday to go to boot camp for the USMC Marines. I Love him with all my heart. I'm really scared. But I'm supporting him and im very proud of him. I've allready ordered shirts. Like I Love my Marine. Proud USMC Girlfriend. And Great Things. We Have Been Together About A Year. I'm Allready Crying lol. We have been talking about getting married. I Told him I Would Love Too. Being a Marine Wife would Make Me Very Proud I Love him. And If Anyone Could Help Me Through This I Would Greatly Appreicate It.
My name is Chelsie, i'm 15 and my boyfriend left for boot camp at Camp Pendleton almost 4 weeks ago.
I'm young, so i haven't been through much but this is by far the hardest thing i've had to deal with. Waking up and falling asleep with him not there is not easy.
The night before he left, he got down on
one knee and asked me to be his for eternity.
I support Matt 110% and i'm so glad he's doing something amazing with his life.
Being a military girlfriend, and later on wife, will be hard, but we've all got each other, right?
Us girlfriends and wives are meant to stick by each other, because we all know the pain each other feels.
You women and girls, are so strong.
And seeing that everyone else isn't just miserable because their man is gone, makes me stronger too.
You're all amazing, and your marines are doing something so great.
SEMPER FI.
Im 15 and my boyfriend left for bootcamp 11 weeks ago he comes home next friday and im sooo happy but having him gone for so long was the HARDEST thing ever. i hate not having him with me all the time i miss him so much still. im really close with his family so that helps the time pass when im with them but its still really hard. im going to his graduation which is next friday so i leave tuesday to be there for family day and all. ive been dating him for a year now and he means more to me then anything i love him so much. before he left he gave me a ring and he told me we made a promise and that we had to keep that promise. and i always keep my promises to him. i love him
all these other girls out here who are marine girlfriends good luck with your boy =) support them alot!
semper fi!
Hi! My Marine is about to leave on our first deployment (its his second but my first) I was just wondering if anyone had any advice that would help me get through it. Also if anyone has any good ideas for things to include in care packages I would really appreciate that also! My email is sweetp04t@aol thanks so much!
i am 16 and my Marine is 18 and he graduated boot camp on jan 9 and he can home for 9 days ( couldnt make it to graduation) then he left again on Jan 19 for a month in NC and then 9 1/2 months in missiouri and we have only been together for 9 months now and i love him with all my heart and #9 is so true i would in one second say yes to him
so thanks you to all
semper fi
good luck to you all
im praying for everyone

i'm always looking for other marine gf's to talk to.
My marine and I have been a year and we just got engaged in october it is amazing. He is a great guy. I keep busy and work and go to college 18 units baby. I hope keeping busy will make the years fly by. Its so hard when they are gon but I have found it takes about a month to even function again after they leave. I love John so much he has saved me from a past I don't even like to recall and gave me reason to push at life again.
Spemer Fi
I am 17 years old and I am a marine's girlfriend. Ive known him since i was 12 and we saw each other again when i was having a very difficult time in life. Is like destiny bond us together.We use to go out when we was little, and its so cute how we are together now.It was so unexpected...we had 4 years without seen each other, and our feelings came back so rapidly. He deployed in dec 29...I miss him so much.The first day and week was so difficult!We are going to be 2 months in my birthday (feb 19).
I Love Him
i'm 17 years old and my boyfriend left to boot camp last week i feel so lonely i miss him so much
My boyfriend is stationed in Jacksonville, North Carolina and I miss him like crazt. I just got done seeing him though, but it's so hard saying good bye and not knowing the next time you will see him.. I am co pround of him though and support him 100% all the time.. He is my everything!!
i love you joshua allan Schuler!!!
love your girl,
Laura Marie Fontello
Im 20 years old and have been with my Marine for three years (high school sweethearts). Being apart from him is murder. This is only our first year doing this but I will stand behind him 100%. i just have one piece of advice is not to rush into marriage just b/c you wanna be closer to him. it doesnt always work out that way. dont rush it ladies
ladys i know being away from our marines is hard but we have to stay strong and support eachother semper fi!
i am 17 years old and i have been with my boyfriend for 1 year and 2 months. he left to marine boot camp feb. 8th and it has only been 2 weeks...and oh it has been hell!
he is my bestfriend and now he that he is gone it is so hard. i have no one to share my feelings with. hes the only one i ever told everything to. i try to keep busy everyday and to not be in the house as much so i can not think about him being gone so much. im used to seeing him and talking to him everyday and it is so wierd not to even hear his voice. i have voicemails he has left me in the past and i try not to listen to them cuz they will make me miss him even more. before he left we talked about marriage. everyone says im too young but they dont realize how much i love him. i am willing to settle down fast and not have the party life your average teenager has. i love him an want to spend the rest of my life with him... if anyone wants to talk email me...syerradf@yahoo.com
i know this is a hard situation for all of us but we CAN do it
Yea i am 18 and i didnt have trouble saying yes when my marine asked me to marry him. it was the best day of my life. it is hard since he is not here to help me plan the wedding but i just think about when he is coming home and how happy he is going to be when he sees what i have done for him.
I'm 18 and my boyfriend and I have been together for a little over two years now. We've had a rough past together but its taught us so much about one another and we're still together going stronger then ever. With him being in the marines and away all the time its really shown us how much we mean to eachother. He talks about marriage everyday, but I'm just worried about moving to fast and losing him all together. He's in Florida right now at his MOS school and every day that goes by without him makes me wanna spend forever with him that much more. I know he's the one but I'm not one to take risks and I feel like my parents and friends judge me to the point where I back down from what my heart wants. I need advise should I just follow my heart and go for it or should we wait for the big day?
omg ladys my boyfriend just asked me what do i think about getting married sometime this year ... and of course i said yes to my marine
Well my boyfriend and I have only been together for 6 months and are living with each other. we've grown soo close. and he just left 4 days ago for a 6 week detachment. i know im lucky that its not a regular deployment yet but its the first time we've been apart that long and i've been so depressed and crying. i know he's coming back but it's just so hard for me. add me on myspace - www.myspace.com or i.m me on aim - iiriish mamii x0. i'd love to talk to someone who knows what i'm going through.
I met an amazing guy about a year ago and every time i talk to him i fall for him even more! He has recently joined the marines and im so scared! I suport him 110%! if you have any advice for me and you have a myspace i would love to talk! my e mail is ashleylouiserodgers_1@yahoo.com!!!
luv an awesome marines g/f
Wow! my boyfriend is named caleb he is in hawaii right now! it gets hard i know that, not knowing whats going on but i stick through everything. I'm 19 and in aug. will start attending college and he leaves for over seas in nov. yeah it stuck but thriugh everything i stick by his side! always faithful baby!
Hey girls.. Ive been reading your comments and I truly respect how you are all so strong and dealing with your husband being away. Now I just wanted to ask questions I recently starting dating this guy from the marines he's stationed in north Carolina. How hard is it? Howdo you keep yourself distracted? Please email me at cinmoya16@yahoo.com thanks girls.
i have been with my marine for 4 months now doesnt seem like long but when u know u love someone u just know. he just deployed to afganastan today & i can do nothing but cry about it cause im missing him so bad. lucky for me hes only gonna be gone for 7 months that means he will be back before christmas but it does suck he wont be here for my birthday in a month & he wont be here for his. I never knew i could miss someone this bad its a feeling that i wont ever be able to get use to no matter how hard i try. i love that boy. semper fi to my boyfriend
I have a few questions. If you could answer any or all of them it would help me. My boyfriend has spinal bifida, and wears braces on his legs...he has no feeling in his legs but he is able to do everything like anyone else.....what are his chances of him becoming a marine? what will it be like when he goes to bootcamp?
and how did u occupie your time while your marine was gone?
email me at ashisloco19@aol.com
thanks ladys
Well my Boyfriend of 3 and 1/2 years left for Pairs Island, SC on Father's day... The last time I talked to him was on a pay phone and he was waiting for the bus to pick him up in Columbia. It was so hard to hear his voice, but it was good to hear him say I love you one more time. It is comforting to know that there are other people that are going through the same things as me.
My name is Christy. I'm 17, my fiance left for bootcamp yesterday and i miss him so much. i can't quit thinking about him!
I'm 17 years old and my boyfriend of a year is leaving next week for bootcamp. I support him so much and even though he hasn't left, i relate to everything that was mention. haha. Semper Fi!
oh and any myspacers? myspace.com/floppybabe227 if anyone wants to talk.
Hii there, i totally agree with the cry...and cry..and cry for no reason part i do it all the time oy, and yes i wear my marines hoodie to bed everynight. Chris is in Japan for a year right now and it totally sucks. But i do know one thing when he gets home it will be totally worth it, he is the best thing that has ever happened to me and im so proud to be a USMC girlfriend!
Here without you is my ringtone :) Everything on here is so true!!
Oh and to the girls on here that have boyfriends or fiancees in boot, don't worry! The time flies by, before you know it you'll be driving to Beaufort SC for graduation! My boyfriend actually is stationed in Beaufort and at Parris Island, so it's very cool to visit the place that all our guys once hated!
Hi, my boyfriend is also in the USMC. He just left a week ago to Camp Pendleton in San Diego, CA.
I really miss him and it's only been a week. :(
His ship out date was July 20th.
I've been sad for some days, but still living my life. It's hard to be any Military Girlfriend/Fiancee/wife.
But I'm waiting patiently for him and the letters that I will soon recieve.
U can talk to me on anna439921@csufresno.edu
Anna106 I'm in the same boat as you. My recruit left this morning for Pendleton for boot camp and I'm already going crazy. I never imagined I'd be going through something like this before, but I'm more thankful than ever because I know I have found someone who cares so much for me. All anyone can do is just keep themselves busy and let our guys know as much as possible how proud we are and how much we love them. Graduation day will be here before we know it.
Feel free to email me anytime ladies, you're some of the strongest women ever.

Isn't number 8 so sad but true. Some of my siblings are like "I hope you two break up." They just don't know how devoted marine girls are

Lenna where did he go for so long? Im just wondering because my boyfriend just left for boot camp 2weeks ago this is so hard. I just hope i dont have to be away from him for 7 months i will die :( He and i already know we are going to marry eachother once he is done with the marines because he will be with me for good after his 4 years. I cant wait, but i do compleatly support him 100% just would like him back with me. I love him so much.
AGREED! My boy is 4 weeks into boot camp. I am so happy for him, and couldn't be more proud! OORAH!
I'm 17 and my boyfriend has been at Parris Island for 4 weeks. I miss him a ton, but spending time with his family and friends has really helps. Ha, can't forget how your heart skips a beat just checking the mail to see if he's written. I love him though, and we plan on getting married even though I'm just a freshman in college. I know I support him wholeheartedly. It's hard to take criticism from family and friends to date somebody who will constantly be coming and going, but I know he makes me completely happy. Semper fi <3
I agree with all these! My boyfriend and I have known each other for two years but have been officially dating for 2 months. It was definitely a hard decision to make when he asked me to be his girlfriend knowing that he was going into the military. My feelings were stronger than my thoughts and although he hasn't left yet, I already find it hard to let go. I cry a lot when we talk about it or when I listen to sad songs like the ones mentioned above. He knows I love him and that I support him 100%... His ship date for boot camp is Jan. 05, 2010. He is going to San Diego, Ca. and I hope I can make it to his graduation even thought it will be hard with the college schedule... I hope time flies by when he's gone. I will miss him so much. He knows I will always be here waiting for him! SEMPER FI!
Heyy! I'm 15 and my marine is leaving for boot camp our junior year! We have known each other since 7th grade! I love him more than anything else! If you have any advise I would love to hear it! I'm scared to let him go but I know I have to I'm so proud of him!
My boyfriend of 2 1/2 years left for boot camp on my 18th birthday, August 17. On August 21st I left for college in Hickory NC. On August 29th I got a phone call from Garrett's (my bf) mom and said he had been rushed to the hospital in Beaufort, SC to have emergency surgery on his intestines. I drove 5 hours and 90 MPH to get to him. He was in the hospital until September 14th and now he is in the EHP medical platoon until October 19th or when the Dr clears him. Then he has to start training all over again. I live on letters and praying to GOD that the surgeon dosen't have to call me because he will NOT call unless something is wrong. I went from being able to see him in November to not seeing him until February. I check the mail 5 times a day and write at least 2 letters a day. I never thought the words "I'm ok baby don't worry" and "I Love You" could mean more than they did before. We are going to Disney World for the FIRST time when he gets out and if he asked me to marry him through a letter...I would!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm 18 and my boyfriend left 3 weeks ago for boot camp at Parris Island. We have know eachother for 3 years and have been together for 8 months. Him leaving was one of the hardest things i have ever gone through. He proposed to me on my prom and of course i said yes. He is the only guy i have been able to tell everything to and be myself around. I know things are going to be rough but i know our love can survive anything. Semper Fi <3
Im 16, I love in North Carolina. My boyfriends name is Mark(18), he went to bootcamp at Parris Island, SC & is now located at Camp Pendleton, Cali doing his SOI & MOS training. My brother(Matt-18) is also joining the Marine Corp & leaving to go to bootcamp next month. Its hard enough to deal with my boyfriend, but its ten times harder when its you brother too. Yall have to keep your heads up! SEMPER FI <3 OOOORAHHH.

My boyfriend and I have been together for 4 years and he just left for bootcamp yesterday. I've been on the internet non-stop trying to find ways to be the best marine girlfriend/fiance possible. I've found lots of encouraging things on the internet which i feel are going to make these 13 weeks less difficult. I miss him soooo much already but I'm glad that he's doing something with his life and something he wants to do. I totally agree with this post. My boyfriend and I were both in MCJROTC in highschool so I know all the rank structure, uniforms, slang, etc. Semper Fi
Hello girls, I am new to this marine girlfriend thing. I have been dating my marine for about 2 months. He has been married before and the girl cheated on him while he was in Iraq. I am trying to be the best girlfriend I can be but I am still learning. Any advice would be great. I am being supportive and giving him his freedom, but it is so hard to keep it together sometimes. I'm stong and I like him so much. I need to know how to deal with the loss of time together. Thanks alot Usmcgrlnluv30
I'm 19 and living in Jamaica in the Caribbean. My boyfriend of 3 years who I've know since i was 14 just started boot camp last month. It would be hard enough if he was away but in the same country but I'm in Jamaica and he is in the US. I miss him so much and the letters take forever to come.But I'll still wait for him and the day he asks me to marry him i would not hesitate to say yes. I just wish the distance was easier to deal with. Any advice???
Heyy, new to this website! my boyfriend left a month ago for bootcamp in san diego. i am 17 and have been with him for almost 2 and 1/2 years! we plan to get enganged very soon after bootcamp. (he graduates January 8th) and i totally agree with all of these! Any questions or anything i'd love to help! =] i love talking to other girlfriends..it seems to help a lot.
hey, i am new to this website,before me and my boyfriend started to go out he already decided to join the marine corp,weve been thru ups and down but im really happy that were still together.. he gave me a ring before he left for bootcamp and im holding true to those promises we made..i really believe that his the guy i wanna spend the rest of my life with..when he left for boot was the hardest thing..endless night of crying and longing for him that till to this day i could never get to use to..he just graduated MCT couple of days ago and im so proud of him doing something he like..i support him 110% cuz i love him so mch..((ILY STUART)) i read all the comments and its always nice to hear that im not alone in this situation..we have to keep it together..goodluck to us ladies.
hey im new to this website and new to being a marine girlfriend.
But i can already understand everything that is going on My boyfriend left for north carolina about a month and a half ago and he will be home in a month then in May i have to deal with that awful deployment of 6 months. I have never been through a deployment do any of you girls have any advice on how to handle this??? kari009@san.rr.com
My boyfriend although we aren't together and haven't been together that long that much he is everything to me and i know for sure i am going to marry him
i love you jarrett alan moore :]
P.S. it would be nice to have another usmc girlfriend to talk to about this none of my other friends understand what it really feels like to be going through this.
Take care
advice to the 15 year olds.. END WHILE YOU CAN. you will be hurt and you are immature. plus you are jail bait!!!!!!!im sorry to be cruel. but when they become new marines they become a man. you are a child. they will be going off to other countries. off with their buddies. it's a lot of hard work and you can pretty much guess they will not be faithful. 15 year old? 18, 19 year old? BIG DIFFERENCE. if i met my marine at 15 we would not be together today. im sorry to be so blunt but there is not much hope for you guys. even the 16 year olds.. thats kinda bad.. but a little better than 15.. gross.
dont like what i say or want to know more????????

Hi I am 19 and have been dating my boyfriend for two years. He has decided to join the marines but there are a lot of questions about the living arrangement with us because we are planning marriage and kids. Should we get married right after boot camp or what would be best? Thanks.
yeaa this is so true in fact i teared up a bit.
wow. I just read these comments and it makes me feel so much less alone.
I finally started dating a wonderful guy who has been one of my best friends for 4 years just a few days after he got back from boot camp, but now hes in MCT and I miss him more than ever. I agree with all of these so much, and it's great to read all of these, I'm wearing my marines hoodie right now :)
I honestly started to tear up a little bit while reading through all of these. It makes me feel less alone knowing there are many people out there going through the same things I am. My boyfriend of 3 years, I am 18 and he will be 19 in a week, has been gone for a month now. It has been the hardest thing to ever go through. We live in Nebraska, and the whole Nebraska brigade is getting deployed in June of 2010. This breaks my heart because he will not be home until May. We have talked about getting married and starting a family so many times before. The only thing is, my parents don't agree with it at all. they think I can find someone better, and they don't support me which makes it hard. But I figure I am 18 now, so I can make these choices on my own. I know I will spend the rest of my life with him, so why wait? especially if he is going to be gone for a year in Afghan. All of you women are very strong. Thank you for supporting your men!
yupp guys wow
im 17, been with my marine for 2 years <333 hes at MCT right now. damn. we want to get married once hes lance corporal, or maybe just after mos school. So many ppl look down on this because of the age but the thing is, i dont plan on just going to college like almost every other girl does, i want to join the air force, and if i do that, i would leave after only seeing him like 2 weeks. then id go to school or w.e and get stationed. thats going to be incredible difficult. If i marry him, i can live with him and go to college on base for a bit then join the air force. Being deployed a year? wow, i give u props girl, hang in there honey!
but ya =[
im going to be 18 in summer. If something happens to our relationship while im with him, its not like ill be stuck with nothing
i dont want anything to happen =[ but u gta prepare yourself, specially since its the corps, u dont just marry a marine, u marry the corps

do or die
oorah!

me & my marine havent been together for too long but he already stole my heart. =] all it took was 3 weeks to entirely fall for him. we were friends before and decided to give it chance lol right before he left to attend boot camp @ camp geiger/ camp lejune in jacksonville. i already miss him terribly. but he makes me a stronger woman and i get through each day knowing that it's a day closer to seeing him again. =] i would definitly say i would marry him right this second if he were to ask. =] oorah baby! semper fe.
i am 17 years old and i am engaged to my marine! i honestly could not be more proud of him. we were dating for 2 years and the day he asked me to marry him was the best out of the 2. there is nothing i would change and i am proud to tell anyone and everyone i am engaged to a united states marine!
I'm 17 too and got engaged to a soon to be marine! He left to bootcamp on Jan 25 2010 and I miss him terribly! I have done soooo much research on the marines and following up on what he's doing everyday! I love him so much and can't wait for him to come back! Please email me and share ur stories! They've helped me get through these hard times. morenita_0208@yahoo.com
i am 17 and i said yes to marine.... i leave for boot in june and he leaves in august... he wants i love him so much and hey it may be hard but thats why i said yes....
19 and a very proud USMC girlfriend. i couldn't imagine being without him, he's currently on his second deployment to afghanistan. it's been difficult but every day i love him more, and grow more proud. i can't wait for my marine to come home and spend so much time with me. only 14 months left till his contracts up.
I am a proud USMC girlfriend. It gets very hard when he is gone. 1 long field ops 3 weeks in VA for trainging. But the time doesn't matter it's the love that matters. This morning u could wake up and feel like his contract will never be up then tonight when I think about buying a house and starting a family I don't feel like I have enough time to do it all b4 he gets out. Just take it one day at a time ladies and it will slowly but surly work itself out........
I love u CLP Jackson
yes i agree with eveything up there... my bf is gone right now deployed to afghan ...miss him so much.
My boyfriend and i have been dating over a year now. He leaves July 8th, and my heart drops into my stomach everytime i think about how close its getting. I love him with all my heart and i know he's my soulmate. If he proposed, i would say yes. And sometimes i hope he would propose because i want to go with him. But i know that one day, we'll be married. Congrats to all you other girls who are engaged. And may the marine girlfriends stay together and help each other out. <3
I am currently talking to a marine. I'm 18 & just about to graduate high school. The night we met , we completely hit it off. It felt like we had known eachother for years before but we were complete strangers. We are still talking non-stop everyday. I am falling so hard for this boy. I just want some advice. I don't want to get myself into something i will regret. We talked about having a long distance relationship once he leaves & i said i was all for it because i would never hurt him & i trust that he would do that same. i just want some support here & some advice. thanks , Mosmiless@yahoo.com
My boyfriend of 3 years is stationed in North Carolina. I miss him like crazy and i cry all the time. Its not easy going so long without someone you love so much. I support him 100%. I havent talked to him in almost 3 weeks and its killin me. If anyone would like to talk you can e-mail me:

Hey all,
I am 19 and my boyfriend is 20. We've been together 3 years and he left for boot camp nearly 2 years ago.
For all of you just starting with Boot Camp - Flood your man with letters! He so much appreciates them. He doesn't have a whole lot of time to write back, but just as often as you can, remind him that you love him. And don't forget, in the eyes of everyone else, you are very strong women with a lot of love to give if you can manage through this time - which you know you can!!
At first, it seems like you are alone but there are other girls dealing with the same thing. Love is strong - so you can be too!!
Hey everyone, i am a totally newbe to this whole world of being in a relationship with a Marine...and the hard thing is that we just got together and he leaves in a week. I know we will be ok, but i just feel as if ive been jipped time with my baby. its going to be a very long two years, but i have school to focus on and many friends to support me. But i just thought itd be a good idea to start talking to people who are in the same situation.
i feel like i miss him to much already...
I recently started dating an amazing marine. Our families have known each other for a very long time but it was till last Christmas break we started to get to know each other. he had to go back but we stayed I touch. He came back and that is when the magic happened :) I spend an amazing week with him, now we are dating I never imagined my self in a long distant relationship but he is so worth it! I will be visiting him in a month and
I thank God his contract is done in a year. I admire all a of ya’ll for staying with your loved one.. I just started this journey and a its quite hard to have your love one a thousand miles away
Oh and if ya’ll have any tips on how to maintain the relationship with that spark I would def. love to hear all about it…I am truly new to all this.

Hi I'm Marissa, and I'm 18 years old. My boyfriend just left for bootcamp yesterday. And while I'm so very proud of him and everything he is going to stand for, I miss him so much. I agree with everything here, we have known eachother since we were in 3rd grade. He is the love of my life and I have no problem telling people that yes he is the man that I am going to marry! Oorahh!
Hi, I've only been with my boyfriend for a little over a month but we've known each other for 4 years..he's in the Marines and has just been sent to a base in Japan and I won't be able to see him for 2 years. I miss him soo much.
I have been with my marine since our jr year of high school we have now been out for a year we been together for a total of 3 years i always told him i would back him on whatever he did so he picked the marines when we finished high school. When he came home this past christmas he asked me to marry him we both are only 19 we got married March 11 2010 and he has been gone since March 19 2010 and will be gone untill december. but i totally agree with all of this i wear a marine corp shirt everyday and i alwasy show how proud i am to be a marine wife even when it is hard.. My husband got sent to Japan. I will say that is the hardest thing is him there and me back home. But GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS!!
im only 16 years old and my boyfriend leaves for bootcamp in 2 months and 6 days.. i will be going through my senior year of highschool without him around. though i know it will be worth it its going to be hard. i know how bootcamp works because my brother is a marine but it sure will be different with my boyfriend going through it.
all i know is im young and in love. my family thinks im too young to know who 'the one' is yet. but i know it my marine. i know in my heart that we are meant for each other. hes leaving tomorrow.

I'm 17 years old but i believe we belong together. i support him no matter what and love him with all my heart. He just got promoted to LCPL June 1 and is stationed in VA which is 4 1/2 hours from me.. So I'm pretty lucky for thatt..
I'm so proud of him :)

Hey ladies!
My marine is currently in Okinawa he will be there for 2 years. We have been together for almost 3 years in December! I'm 17 he is almost 20. We are planning to get married soon!! We have a little trouble with how I'm going to go to college.. I have sooo many different ways.. And my parents want me to stay in Oklahoma and finish my 4 years then get married... I plan to go 4 years but marry him in 2! He wants me to take online classes with him.. I really don't know what I should do. If anybody is giving out advice I'm open for receiving!! Thanks!
Hi! I'm new to the site was looking for a little advice.. My email is ladypirate21@cimtel.net
Hey girls, i posted on here before but im kinda updating.
My boyfriend just left yesterday for boot camp. and yes, i feel terribly alone. He was my best friend and the love of my life. and no, im not scared to tell people that. Even though im only 18, we've talked about settling down with a family. And im in the same predicament about college. But for now i think im taking online classes. It seems to be more convenient. And then after i know whats happening with me and my boyfriend, ill take actual classes. This is the hardest thing ive had to do. Watch the love of my life leave me for 3 months. (He's at camp Pendelton) but i know we'll always be together. I love my Marine. and i'm proud to be a Marine girlfriend.
I agree with all those! Especially number 9 even though I am not his wife or fiance I am almost 18 and I still said yes when he asked me to be his even though I knew he had to leave soon...
My Marine and I have only been dating a month and a half and he left on the 11th for boot camp! This has been really hard on us both! But I am so very proud to be an USMC Girlfriend! I hope and pray everyday he is going to be ok and so am I. I also pray these first 3 months of him being gone will go by fast! I miss my Marine!!
all i have to say is that it is so nice to have people who understand what I am going through and who don't judge me for being so young. I am 19 and have been with my now fiance for almost 3 and 1/2 years. He just proposed to me on the fourth of july in front of fireworks. We want to do a little courthouse wedding before he gets deployed to japan and then afghanistan in a month and then have a big ceremony and reception when he comes home in a year. My family just doesn't understand why I would want to do that. They don't understand that I could not imagine him leaving and me not being his wife and god forbid if anything happened to him that I not have the pleasure to be married to the man of my dreams and soul mate. I just want to say I am so grateful that there are all of you out there that do understand what it is like so I don't feel so crazy for wanting to do this.
For one i defitally agree with everyone of these things on the list, the marriage one scares me a little, but yet im only 16. me and my boyfriend have been dating for a year and he left for boot camp june 29th and its only been 3 weeks but you know your in love when you start missing him the second he boreds that plane. i have sympaty for everyone that has ever had a relationship with someone in the military, long distance relationships are the hardest.

It's soooo good to see that I'm not alone! My boyfriend jus left to go to Parrish island for bootcamp on June 25! It's only been a week and it seems like it's been am eternity! We've been together for about 4 months and I really love him and I'm supporting him 100% I really hope I get my first letter soon! But in the mean time I jus cry and pray for him and hope he's thinkin of me and missin me jus as much as I'm missin him!!
First off, I am only 14. The guy I really like(he is 18)just left for Parris Island on August 15. We have liked each other for 2 years now and became bestfriends over that time period. It was only a little over a month ago that I told him I liked him and he said the same. We are technically not dating, but we act like a couple. I am starting highschool next week and I am also dealing with him being gone. It is probably the hardest thing I have ever done. But reading all of these stories helps me alot. It is just really hard because I feel like I am so young compared to all of the other girlfriends and I dont know of anyone else my age who is dealing with this. But I know that I can make it through this. I just worry about him so much. Semper Fi! :) <3
I'm 16 going on 17. My boyfriend and i have been together for four months. He left August 30th to Parris Island. It's not the easiest thing i've ever done. I miss him and write him everyday. Him being gone makes it hard because there is a bit of bad blood with his sister and I. But his Father and brother see me as family. I'm a sophomore. I want to say thank you to all the stories =]. They let me know i'm not alone and that someone out there, somewhere understands exactly what i feel.
I am 17 fixing to be 18. In exactly 6 days the love of my life is fixing to leave for Parris Island for basic training. He is my rock. Before dating him I dated a low life for 3 years who still has done nothing with his life. Since dating my Marine my eyes have opened to so many new things. He helps me to strive to accomplish my dreams and to never give up. He has taught me working hard really does pay off in the end example he worked his butt off during PT, became Squad Leader, and personally had his Staff Sgt. and Sgt. tell him he needs to go to college get a degree and go to OCS. I'm very proud of him. (: These 13 weeks are going to be tough but I am a Semper Fi and I take the responsibility proudly (:
Oh and yes if he asked me to marry him now I would in a heartbeat

Proud USMC Girlfriend
Hi ladies My name is Marie ,I am currently a Marine Girlfriend trying to cope with the fact my long time high school sweetheart is gone for 2 years. Im 17 going into the Air Force. Its been a year since ive seen him but it is hard but don't think about it to much it will kill you. I just pray to god he will come back soon from Korea safe and sound. Hang out with friends and make sure to breath and eat. I am waiting day by day for him to write to me it will be hard but when he comes back it will be worth <3 Hang in their ladies.
I am a Marine gf at 17 years old, and I want to let all those girls know that its not easy. Girls at work tell me I'm crazy obsessed but they don't know what it feels like. Marine gf's are not alone.
I am a proud Marine gf and I traded in my pearls for his dog tags, and just like they are Semper Fi to the Marines, I am Semper Fi to my man.
I am 18 years old and have been with my fiance for five years now. Nobody (besides a fellow Marine girl) could ever imagine going through what we do!! It is not a fairytale, it is real life. and let me tell you, real life.. is REAL hard. The best advice i can give - is to be SUPPORTIVE, POSITIVE, and NEVER second doubt your love. A true Marine girl will tell the rest of the world off when they start to get in her way . I know i have had my fair share :)
God bless you all. You AND your Marines are in my prayers. Stay Strong and remember remain SEMPER FI!
My boyfriend is getting deployed to Afghanistan. He's an 0311 (infantry) His name is Adam. Please Pray for His safety as I pray for your marines. I love him so much. We're getting married when his tour is over.
hey my name is Lauren and me and my Marine have been together a little of 4 months, it took about a month for me to fall completely head over heels for him i love him soooo much!! he leaves july 9th for a deployment on a boat for 5-8 months. he has been a Marine for a little over a year so i dont know exactly how it feels for him to be gone for such a long period of time. As i read some of the post all i could do was sit here and cry, bc i know i will be going through that soon. my Marine wants to get married before he leaves and i said yes in a heart beat but ppl tell us to wait til he gets back...what have some of you others doen?? what is your advice?? and if this makes it any easier we only live about 2 1/2 hours away and so every other weekend he will either come home or i will go down to Jacksonville to see him. i just dont know what to do about the whole marriage thing, i want to so that he knows that im SEMPER FI while he is gone. i love him and will marry him i just dont know what would be the better time??? i love you Jake!
Im 18 and my fiance just got deployed we have been together for 3 years now it is very hard but it gets better just hang in there ladies
My name is Kirsten and I am also a girlfriend of a Proud Marine. He came home for christmas break and thats when we met for the first time. I know i havnt been with him as long as some of you guys have been. It didnt take me long to fall head over heals for him :) unlike many of my x's he took me out every night we were together and treated me like ive never been treated before. Meeting him was the best thing that ever happened to me. We talk many nights about when he was leaving and he asked if i would be here for him when he returned and well i told him i would wait for him. I have never fallen for someone as fast as i did him. He his stationed in NC and im in NH. HEs being deployed in April to afghanistan and im dreading the moment he leaves american ground. but ik this is his life and i support him 100%. I read all of your stories and realize there are many wives, fiances, mothers, sisters, and girlfriends like me out there. I love you Tucker!
Semper Fi.
Im 19 and my boyfriend of almost 2 years left for bootcamp at pendelton exactly one week ago. Our relationship had been shaky the past few months, I think largely because of nerves and anxiety of what laid ahead. Although at this point we aren't officially together anymore he gave me a diamond ring before he left asking me to wait for him untill he gets back and I couldn't say no. I'm praying that this time apart, despite how hard it really is, will help both of us grow so that we can have an amazing relationship again. Reading all of your comments showed me how brave all of you are and how I am so thankful for how much you support one another. Theres only one thing, you younger girls, dont rush into getting married. If my bf thought i would say yes he would ask me in a second but you need to grow up on your own and mature on your own before you can be the marine WIFE you are going to need to be. I know he's the one I'm going to spend the rest of my life with so why rush things? He will still be there when Im 25 :) but in all honesty, it's going to be a long road ahead and god knows I'm going to need support from strong women like you! Semper Fi ladies!
I sometimes wish I had someone to talk to that actually understands what I’m going through, reading blogs like this one really helps a lot.
Mine just enlisted, so hes about to start. We're already engaged and plan on getting married after he enlists. We already planned on getting married soon, so we dont feel we are rushing as much as we probably would if we hadnt been engaged. Im 18(19 in a few months) and hes 22 and I support him 120%! We knew each other for 6 years before we started going out and we've been together for almost two years. Ill probably haunt places like this to find out how others are and how they deal with what lies in store for me. Anyone who wishes to message me can do so, necrofade@yahoo.com
Oh, and our roommate is already a marine, so i live with one and soon to be another!
My marine has been gone sense November. He is coming home in April. Tonight he told me on the phone we will be married within the next year. And when he gets out he wants to have kids. I cant wait for him to come and start a life and family with me. Im excited for him to come home on leave because i think we'll be getting Engaged. Even if we didnt i am still excited he is coming home period. I love him with all my heart. and cant wait to see his smiling face. After this leave he will be going on his first deployment. I feel this will be ruff. But we will make it through. I know we are all going through the same thing and my heart goes out to each and everyone of you.

proud USMC girlfriend<3
I'm 21 and going through my first deployed with my Marine. I am so proud of him. He is getting promoted to SGT on May 1st. He is my hero and has my heart.
Awww. I just sent my boyfriend off to the airport about 2 hours ago..I was strong and I didn't cry, but now that I'm home, I can't help but think about the memories we made and it makes me miss him so much. He's getting deployed to Japan, and I don't know how long we won't be in contact. It's good to know I'm not the only one going through this and that I'm not alone! Good luck girls
This is so true - right now my Marine is at SOI and I haven't gotten to talk to him since he left. Not only that but I volunteer at the USO and this week started Fleet week so I have really been missing him. Been doing a lot of number 7. Good to know I am not alone! Thanks for posting this!!!
First of love this it's so true. My names Morgan and I just turned 18. I am the proud girlfriend of a united states marine on June 4th we will have been togeather for 7 months and he graduates boot camp june 3rd also his birthday (: but by the end of boot camp he will of been gone for 3 of those 7 months. When you go from seeing the man you love everyday to not seeing him for 3 months it kinda hits you lIke an 18 wheeler (semi) I cried the night before he left I cried at the airport I cried the rest of the day and continue to cry when the days are bad and the nights are lonely and it seems as If no one knows how you feel and your alone but through out everything I have become a stronger person and our love for each other has only strengthened. We have a long road ahead of us still but I'm hoping we can get through it all together. Best of luck to all the other marine girlfriends, wives, and fiancée out there (:
I'm surprised at how much I do most of those things. Especially the crying part. Some days I wake up and don't even get out of bed. I roll over, grab his Marine picture and hug it to myself and cry. When we fell in love (which was instantly) we've never been able to seperate ourselves. Japan is a long way away from SC but we're holding on. Planning for our special wedding day. I may only be 18 going on 19 in June but I know I'll never find a man who'll own my heart like him. This website is helpful because sometimes i don't understand stand what i feel and I wonder if that's ok. I haven't seen him in 4 yrs. We fell in love in high school and well...we just couldn't stop fallin love. When he comes home, I'll marry him on the plane if i have too.
Just so long as I can say I belong to him.
Thank you alot for this website. :)
Hi girls, I am 22 and my boyfriend is 24 and we have been together for 2 years. A month ago, he decided to join the Marines without telling me, and I found out by accident 3 days ago. He is planning on entering basic training in August, when I will return to school, where I am currently pursuing a Master's Degree in Public Policy and plan on attending law school after that. While my boyfriend comes from a conservative military family, I come from a very liberal family and know nothing about military culture or the Marines. I am scared to death for my boyfriend and scared of being alone without him and I haven't been able to stop crying. All my friends are telling me to be rational and break up with him before he leaves, but I am conflicted because we love each other so much. Can anyone give some advice to an uneducated newbie? My e-mail is katielhom@yahoo.com
Im 17 and my boyfriend is a a marine. We have made it through bootcamp and are almost done with SOI together.....well when i say otgether i mean we spend it 2,000 miles awway but our love has not faded in the least bit and i was wondering if anyone could help me with the conflict of which he wants to get married once i graduate next year and i have no idea how i get my parents to agree to this....we have been together for two years and everyone know its going to happen i just dont think they are going to expect it this early.....can anyone help me ?
email me at Keeghanpierce@yahoo.com..thanks ladies!
Im 21 and my boyfriend just left for boot camp almost a month ago. We have been together for 2 years and all he has ever talked about was the marines, it was his dream, and i am so proud of him for finally living his dream. I support him all the way. The first week was rough, but its getting easier and I know that our love can conquer anything.This has made us stronger than we already were. AND I will have no problem saying yes the day he does propose to me =)
I am 16 and my boyfriend just left for boot camp at Camp Pendleton on fathers day last week. Letting him leave was the hardest thing I have ever done. Before he left he got me a promise ring and asked me to be his forever. I said yes when he asked me to marry him. I love him and miss him so much! I would love to be able to talk to some other marine girlfriends out there that are going through the same thing as me. Please email me at kaitibug126@yahoo.com I could really use some support to get through this.
Well, im 17 years old, my fiance is 20, we have been together for 2 years, its amazing how many girls so younge like me are in a relationship with a marine, haha... My marine has always wanted to do this his entire life<3 this man has been my bestfriend for a very long time! its nice hearing some of these comments it brings a tear to my eye. my fiance is at infintry training right now, he has about 1 more month then he is leaving for about a year. He has a combat tour his first year in which i thnk is totaly bullshit because usually you dont go on a fn combat tour! pretty shitty.. but while he is in, im going to finish my senior year and move down to california at camp pendelton . We have a 3 month old some, his name is Champ :) dont hate the name, it is my fiances favorite football players name lol. idk i promised him we could have our lttle guys name champ.. i love it! having my son makes things better. He keeps my ass busy.. I know some of you are thinking what the hell was i thinking because 16 and pregnant, but i have a job, he makes good money, and i have my own appt right now.. so im doing prety damn amazing! just a little advice for girlfriends who are just begining in this like me, dont be stupid, a marine is a good man to have around the house! if you make a promise to him keep it and dont get to caught up in the moment... Keep that in your mind... look at your life with him in it, and picture it without him! if you think you are close to cheating on him, remember what he is doing<3 fighting for you<3
I knew a guy in highschool, and he was really serious with another girl... now he is single and theat same girl bailed out of a engagement with him by cheating on him... now i started talking to him 3 days before he deployed for afghanistan for a 7 month tour, and im already head over heels for this guy... i carry my laptop every where waiting on a call. Do you think we can grow close over these 7 months? i sure hope so... leave me any advice ladies or gents...
:') I love this blog, it made me cry :)
I recently started dating a Marine, he leaves for bootcamp in 4 days and Im scared to death. I have a huge countdown all set up and Im tearing a day down every morning to show how much closer I am to seeing him. We seriously met just a week ago but it was a love at first sight thing, he means the world to me and I am proud to call him mine and proud to say Im a Marines Girl :)
I'm 18 and my boyfriend just left for marines bootcamp. I feel so alone and im so scared for him. I am positive i want to spend the rest of my life with him. I just need some extra support, to get through this time. Please Email me Noodles390@aol.com
I am 19 and am the girlfriend of a marine. He is currently in NC for training and then goes to pensacola for school. I already miss him so much. We have been together off and on since the end of 9th grade. So its been about five years and I dunno what I would do without him. I agree with this 100%. I wouldnt hesitate to say yes if he asked me to marry him :). Im so proud of him for what he does yet I am already scared to death of the what if's that could happen. I use to never cry and now I cry for no reason at all just because I miss him. Im new at this whole marines thing and its kinda hard...if anyone has some good advice my email is attitude_91591@yahoo.com
Hi Ladys, This was very helpful but I was wondering if anyone could send me some more advice, tips, etc. I've known my boyfriend since i was 16 and he was 15, he's signed up for the marines and goes to boot camp nov.14.... i have no idea how i'm going to deal with him being gone... i'm 23 btw. my mother is not supportive at all, she hates him for some reason so i know i cant rely on her for help.... so if anyone can help out or talk 2 me or anything would be greatly appreciated... as time gets shorter, i just want to hold on to him and never ever let go. and i'm sure everyone has felt the same....
thanks!

Hey ladies,
I understand what all of you are going through and then some. I'm a proud MC girlfriend and in the marines myself. We are not together, so I wait everyday for his texts. I miss him each night. I'm 18 and he's 20. And I love him with all my heart and when he calls me to be his wife I will sayyes with no regrets. Other people don't understand us. But. I support my man 110% and more. Semper fi!

Message me if you ever need support.
HI, well im 20 years of age and im a marine girlfriend and god is my witness that this has been one of the hardest tasks for me. i miss him so much. He's coming home in september but it feels like september will never come! The only problem we have is im off to the army in december. i kno its an akward situation and relationship but he said with faith in eachother we can overcome anything. I just want him home already!!!
Hi, im 18 and my boyfriend jus left for parris island almost two weeks ago. I miss him dearly and im paitently awaiting his first letter. We've been dating only for 11 months but we was friends long before. Its something about marines that make us girls so weak and make us fall in love with them. I know im head over hills in love with mine. Sadly, he wont be here for our one year but its okay. I know when he comes home, we will make up for it. I love my marine with all my heart. Semper Fi! (p.s. i would love some support since im new to this lifestyle, email me at krissy.thompson11@gmail.com)
Just because your man is leaving doesn't mean you have to rush into marriage. My boyfriend and I have been together for 2 yeards and I have known him for 8. He is currently in Afghanistan and wont be home until supposedly April, he's been gone since May. Yes, we talked about marriage just like all you other girls but when it came down to it and he proposed I said no. It's not that I don't live him or don't want to be with him, but personally I wasn't ready.There is no rush to get married before boot camp or MCT school or anything of minor extremities. I made a promise to him we would be together no matter what and he didn't have to put a ring on my finger to make sure Id be here when he came home. Some of you younger girls,I know you love your men but honestly they try to put a ring on your finger as insurance so you wont cheat on them while they are gone, harsh but true.Don't be in a rush because even though I said no my man respects me and we love each other enough to where he knows he doesn.t have anything to worry about while he's gone. Marriage doesn'y change the fact that he is leaving or will be gone for a long period of time. Trust me and I know most of you agree, if you married the guy you were dating while at 15, 16, or 17, your life wiuld not be what you want it to be. Marriage is a beautoful thing between two people who are both mentally ready and mature enough to handle the responsibilities, so don't rush it just because they are leaving. I promise getting married wont keep them from going.
I'm 17 & I've been dating my Marine for 6 months. He's currently stationed 4 hours away from where I live.. I'm lucky enough to see him every other weekend, sometimes more if I'm lucky (he loves to suprise me & show up at my door unexpectedly still in his cami's) We've had up's & downs but we couldn't be any stronger. He completes me & I have always been supportive of him being in the military. When we started dating he'd already been in the Marines for almost a year. We had met a year earlier through a mutual friend before he left for bootcamp & somehow (maybe fate?) we started talking again & our connection was undeniable. I can't say I quite understood what I was getting into at the time (like how much it would hurt everytime I have to watch him leave me to go back to base) but it was the BEST DECISION I EVER MADE.. I took a leap of faith into something I knew wouldn't be easy & he is the best thing that ever happened to me. Together we have grown so much. He's taught me a lot about patience & what it is to truly love someone. He asked me to marry him & of course I said yes. He's undoubtedly the one. I never imagined I would love someone the way I love him.. He often talks of his deployment in the future & it scares the shit out of me but I know that 7 months to a year apart is nothing compared to the beautiful lifetime we will spend together when he returns. We both want kids & plan on having a family one day. A lot of people don't understand the kind of love me & my fiancé have for eachother but after seing this blog I can see that there's many girls out there in my situation. Reading your stories make me stronger. I'll keep all of you & your Marines in my prayers.
I am 16 and my boyfriend left for boot camp almost 2 months ago. It has been hard but i knew in the beginning what i was getting into and my heart will always be with my Marine. No matter how far away he may be i will always be waiting at home for him till he comes back.
i am 19 and im not really an emotional person, but when my boyfriend left for bootcamp i cried and cried for days, hes still gone. But ive come to realize if you stay positive and active you wont worry as much all day long like i atleast normally would. i still havent gotten a letter yet. can sombody tell me how long it usually takes to hear from your marine?
I am 16. I have been datin gmy boyfriend for a year know. He left for San Diego in October. I never wanted to be the "Marine Girlfriend" and I still dont' People say I am selfish but they don't understand this kills me inside. When he got there it was a month before I got his letter, they throw out all addresses when they get there. I hate the fact that I am in pain each and everyday. I hurt and yet he is not here, he said he would never hurt me and would never leave me and that I was number one. well before we dated he knew that I wasnt the one to have a long distance relationship, so after he graduated (he is 19) he signed up and i was heartbroken... he left me and hurt me... and he can't fix me... I am not positive about this and i just don't want to be the only one who just doesn't know what to do... i feel young and foolish. I am mature for my age and I know right from wrong i have helpped many adults with issues... yet this can't be fixed... its killing me slowly but surly...
im almost 18 & my boyfriend is almost 20..we've been together for almost 2 years and he's the best thing thats ever happened to me :) he's stationed in n.carolina & thankfully he's coming home for christmas & new years....and he spoiled the surprise but he's planning on proposing! SO happy&excited!!
Im 18 and i had no problem saying yes to my now fiancee :) he leaves for boot camp in august and im supporting him 100% it will be so hard being away from him. hes my best friend and high school sweetheart i dont care what people say or think. im marryng him with or without my familys complete approval. age isnt everything i know how i feel. Good luck ladies stay strong!
It is hard being a US Marine gf! Sometimes you feel forgotten... I have been dating my Marine for 2 years, and he gave me a promise ring. I love him to pieces. It is so hard being away from one another, and it definitely takes a toll on him. It is hard to be strong when we are on the phone, but I always try not to cry. Does anyone else feel this way?? I read all of your comments and yes, our hearts are all broken. Ladies, how can we stay strong??
Ladies !
My boyfriend is almost done with his training. He is a christian boy, but entered into a place where there are men that are selfish, extremely rude, etc. I was/am worried that he would become 'one of them.' I see him changing... I love him to pieces, and he gave me a promise ring and all.. however, is anyone else going through difficult times?? Talking to him on the phone is hard, because sometimes he gets annoyed and upset over little things, and we just want to hold each other. Sometimes he'll talk to me about random things that he would have never talked about before....
my love just left sunday at the last minute wasnt supposed to leave til march so everything came so quick and it very overhelming but i feel myself being stronger everyday and im just ready for a letter but before he left we had so much fun and spent alot of time together he told me i was a baby because i cried but i didnt know why but i dont care i love him and yes we plan on getting married within the the next year or two
sempre fi<3
@ haley
hey idk if yall fixed things yet but i went through the same thing with mine in the begining. you gotta understand. one the marines WILL change him. weather good or bad is all how he reacts to it but he also is most likely getting suuuper stressed out being bitched at aall the time for stupid stuff and idk how new he is but if hes still in basic or or school or still called a "boot" hes probly still gettin shit about the "jody" thing. they all do some handle it better than others. the key thing is just try to be understanding. if he wants to talk just let him talk about the random really weird stuff you really dont care to hear about just be there to listen...and understand him. and reasure him that your there for HIM. you'll probly have to put up with a lot of him bein an ass just because hes tryin to be strong and but on that "hardass" face for his buddies and higher ups. just wait it out try not to do a whole lot of argueing. if you really feel like you should talk about it DO NOT let it turn into yelling. trust me youll regret it... just simply bring it up tell him how you feel and thats the end of it. move on to the i love yous lolhope things work out for the best for you. if you or ANYONE for that matter wanna talk iv got about 4 1/2- 5 years of being with my marine gone through lots of crazy ups and downs but im not a wife so i dont know what thats like as far as moveing and stuff. but i know when i first got into this i didnt really have anyone to talk to so im more than willing to talk if you just need someone thats kinda been there. you can email me at southernangel11@gmail.com
I love this! I recently lost my boyfriend to Afghanistan and now I have absolute pride in our service men. This made me cry but it helped me get through so many things. When he died, all my friends turned their back on me saying I was stupid for falling in love with someone that had a great chance of dying but if they knew him they wouldn't say that :) thanks so much for helping me copd
Almost in tears! I am just another Marine Girlfriend. I am only 16. My boyfriend and I have been together for 10 months. Our one year is the day he graduates from boot camp. Only 66 more days today. I
My boyfriend is coming back from bootcamp in a few weeks. I want to plan a surprise party for him, would this be a good thing or is a party to much?
I am the girlfriend of a officer in the marines I'm 20. He is a lovely and honest person.when they put him on duty "till further notice" he can only talk to me through social sites and on the phone like a hour a day. It sucks but it's worth it. It's a little easier for me because he makes more and has a little more wiggle room. I wish everyone much luck.
I have known my boyfriend for about six months. He is an officer stationed in Hawaii i am almost 21 and he is almost 22... well this past May i took a sper of the moment vacation to hawaii and i met him at a club lol i can say it wasnt love at first sight lol more like lust... after a night of dancing and conversation we exchanged numbers and I honestly didnt think more of it. The next day I was suprised to see a text message from huim. i didnt see him again before i came back to Cali but that didnt stop us from talkimg. We started off as friends both of us already talking to other peopl but then fate happened. Around the same time we both ended our current ralationships and started talking to eachother... and this was sooo unintentional lol we hit it off right away! after a month of flirting and late night skype dates he asked me to gop visit him. We have been together since late June and in August i jumped on the first plane back to Hawaii to spend a week with my Marine<3 That was the last time i have seen him. I am in love with a US Marine and i have only ever seen him twice. we dont talk everyday and it kills me. i miss him more than anything... he recently asked me to fly back to his home state in Ohio to meet his family<3 he is being deployed for about 8 months and i only get 1 week with him befor he goes. :( we have talked about marriage but we havnt decided anything yet as far as actuall dates. I brag about my Marine like crazy lol im so proud to be with him and even though my family doesnt agree with my relationship It doesnt stop me from planning my future with him I have already decided to move to Hawaii next year when he gets back from deployment :) I am going to see my baby on November 17 and i cant wait for the day to come when ill be in his arms again!! Despite the lonely nights, the countless tears and that damn feeling of sexual frustration lol i know that the wait is worth it... My Marine is worth waiting for<3 i gave him my heart and he had promised to give me his name :)
SEMPER FI!! Zarate<3

He has been one of the many blessings God has given me . <3
I wish the best to All Marine girlfriends, wifes or fiances . If you guys can do it then i can to , Semper fi .
My name is Liz, I am new to this life. Me and my Marine just made it official, but we've been close friends for almost 7 years. Our love story is...complicated lol But I sometimes feel ashamed and out of place. I know very little about his lifestyle, but idk where to start. I don't know anyone who can relate to my situation. It sucks not having someone to talk to that understands what you're going through. But mostly I wanna know what I need to know about being a marine gf. I wanna better understand him. I love him sooo much, and I want us to last. HELP!
My boyfriend says him and his brother wants to join the marines and I am supporting him 100 percent , he has already looking at engagement rings and I know I will say yes , I love him and support his decision
Hey all you strong and beautiful women! My name's Claire, I'm almost 16 and have been dating my boyfriend for a bit over 3 months. I've known him and his mom since I was 5 years old. We just never confessed our feelings until in May:) I haven't told him that I love him, but I ended up liking him a lot more than I originally planned..he's going to boot in January so I still have time with him but it scares me because he's signed up for 20years and his first 4years are infantry as a machinegunner. I don't want to be selfish but I don't want to let him go. I know he'll get through it and come back but I'm still scared because I don't know how it'll be when he's gone.
My parents don't want me to wait for him but they also don't know about Semper Fi. I love my Lane and I'll never stop supporting him. I may sound immature since I'm only 15 but I don't want anyone else and I can't imagine life without my best friend..If you have any advice please please email me at cuteliljellyfishy97@gmail.com
Stay strong, stay beautiful, stay brave and enjoy life as it is now because it won't always be this way, Hopefully that's for the best though! Good luck ladies and love your marines:)
I'm 25 my marine is 22 we met as I was going through the hardest possible time in my life. he had a gf and we met through a support our troops pen pal website. we started facebook messaging back and forth he found out his current gf was unfaithful and after that we were getting to know each other even more. Now we are so close its as if we have known each other our whole lives. I love him with all my heart and I miss him every day. I will say it takes a great amount of strength to love someone you cant hold every night. yet if I had to do it all over again I would love my marine just the same. I am so proud to be his girl his dork butt lol and he is my everything. I need support though girls and I am sure some of you do too, from someone who understands what its like to have your heart be a half a world away. clbarrett87@gmail.com any support will be welcomed. -angel-
I am 19 and just started dating a marine. We went to high school together and I am nervous to mess up things. He just got stationed in California and I feel so alone already. We talk everyday and I can honestly say I am a proud USMC girlfriend. I worry about him every single day. I am glad this site is here it helped me a lot.
