What is one thing that made you proud of your SO as far as their service goes?








(Dont forget OPSEC)

He's a 20 yr old Sgt. in the 75th Ranger Reg.
That says it all! lol I'd be proud of anyone who actually made it through Ranger school, but his buddies JUST found out how old he is! They're in Iraq right now & have him "marked" for his b-day! haha

*kudos!*

Going from an E-1 to an O-4 (e) with only a G.E.D.
Volunteering to go to Iraq, truly hoping to make a difference, albeit a small one, if that.
His unyielding integrity, pride and trustworthiness.
HE never forgets "where he came from".

I could go on and on..........:D

DB managed to complete his senior year of high school (all the tests and exams, etc) in just under twelve weeks. Not a GED or some test-out, he took every exam or test he'd have taken if he were going to all the classes. They wanted him to get in early, and so last summer he went for BCT at 17. :grin:

Just to clarify, I'm not insulting GEDs at all, I'm just saying I could've never done it... I have a GED myself, actually. Just wanted to explain 'cuz I read back what I wrote and it sounded kinda bitchy.

I'm proud of him for being "career". And for his last deployment, I'm proud that he volunteered.

I dont think it sounded bitchy, but it was nice of you to clarify. :)

My hubby has done so many things in the military.

He's been in for almost 14 years.

He was deployed to Bosnia back in 96, he has been deployed 3 times with this war, and he will be deployed again in 2009.

His attitude of endless positivity makes me proud. I don't have that sort of attitude, and I'm not even the one who goes. So him being optimistic, even in the worst of times shows me he's a true champ.

That he is only the 2nd cook EVER in the history of the USCG to go to OCS (there are only 3 of them), that he went from E-1 to O3E and never graduated high school, I could go on and on because every day he does something that makes me proud of him.

I'm proud of my DH and his combat jump! Every time someone comments about his "mustard stain" on his jump wings, I just want to be like "yup! that's my baby!!" I'm also proud of how proud he is! Proud of his country, proud of the other men and women in the service, and proud of his family!

he's the go to guy in his shop...when something breaks, they call him & he's willing & able to get the job done.

i'm so proud of how much more responsible he is now!!!! and he is soooo respectful of other people. i just :wub him :teehee

Joining the military at 17
Getting selected to become an officer, pilot to be exact, via STA-21
Currently maintaining a 4.0 in COLLEGE.

Mine spent 16 years in the Army, and was discharged with a purple heart. He was a ranger. Another words, he was bad ass :teehee

Now, he works as a contractor and he makes awesome money. Im not gonna go into detail, but he has a friggin ROCKIN job. :yes

For all this, im proud of him :wub

Joining the military at 17
Getting selected to become an officer, pilot to be exact, via STA-21

Almost the same not quite.

Dh joined at 17
Promoted quite nicely
Currently maintaining a 4.0 in College WHILE serving over in the sandbox.

He's a 20 yr old Sgt. in the 75th Ranger Reg.

DF never told me this, but told his mom that he didn't tell anyone it was his birthday so that nothing would happen to him....good thing i wrapped his birthday presents in christmas paper because they are so close together!!! HAHAHAHA...

DF just got an award of commendation in iraq and he wrote me with what it said and i have never been more proud to be marrying a Marine...he's pretty much amazing...yup :wub

DB making it into the Nuke program and finishing very soon! :D

He is fully dedicated to what he does, even if it isn't what he wanted.
He really believes in the motto "honor, courage, commitment"
maybe an E-4 after A-school(started out as an E-1)
I could continue....

Almost the same not quite.

Dh joined at 17
Promoted quite nicely
Currently maintaining a 4.0 in College WHILE serving over in the sandbox.

LOL!!!! THAT'S SO AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :cp:cp:cp

I'm proud of him because he rarely, if ever, complains about the military lifestyle.

His attitude has rubbed off on me.

Putting in 27 yrs of service which makes him the oldest guy around at almost all times (LOL), putting on LCDR last year, rising from an enlisted to an officer (which is being a Mustang), his willingness to serve on an IA if asked even when he could easily choose to retire instead, completing his BS degree on his last shore duty billet, and assisting in the gruesome clean up efforts in Phuket after the tsunami hit.

...So many things he's done fill my heart with pride!

There are so many things ...but I am proud he is a corpsman . He has a geniune care for his fellow soldiers and his fellow human beings . He does a lot of volunteer work and is one of the most compassionate men I have met . Most of all , I am proud that he serves his country .

I'm proud of him because last year he was not going to college (and had absolutely no plans to) and had a part time job at the local rec center (that he got fired from) and he was pretty much a womanizer lol

now he's grown so much and is so motivated (and is over his playboy days thank GOODNESS lol) and i'm pretty sure we're going to fall madly in love and get married :p

Absolutely.
He joined the USMC at 17 after being a "guardian angel" in Chicago and completing the Naval Sea Cadet program with some nice distinctions.
He's been promoted quite nicely, about to make E-5.
He is considering lateral moving to Intel, or something similar, and has been offered just about every B-billet in the Marines.
He's a former 5th Marine, which is very cool.
He is respectful of anyone and everyone and would bend over backwards to help you.
He's now going to finish his degree when he comes home so we can put in a package to OCS, and he considers himself a lifer.

And
He's an amazing guy who shatters so many of the "stereotypes" about Marines.
:wub

[QUOTE=*Valarie*;1866260]What is one thing that made you proud of your SO as far as their service goes?


I met him in the military thats 1 hes 21 and just because seargent the army is his life..he loves his job...i just love everything about him...i am so proud :giggle

The list is long, but I am proud that he has never compromised himself or had to kiss butt to get where he is. One of my proudest moments was when he put on Khakis. He worked so hard to get there and has been an awesome CPO.

I am just so proud of him I love you babe :hugehug

DB making it into the Nuke program and finishing very soon! :D

That is what I was going to say too. They say the nuke program is the hardest in the military and it definately makes me proud to be married to one.

whats the nuke program?

-Hubby made SGT in 2 yrs. He knows some friends that took 6-10 yrs to become SGT.
-He won SGT of the month when he was a SPC promotable.
-He is part of a secruity team when he heads down for deployment#2 by personal request of his SGT MAJ and the COL.

He is a great soldier and I am very proud of all his accomplishments. (L)

I am proud of my hubby b/c hes the best of the best.....lol...(just bragging)...i'm proud of your hubbys too

i am proud of my fiance because he lived on his own his last year of high school before he left for basic and it took everything he could do to graduate from high school and be able to live on his own. Then i am proud of the fact that he graduated from basic and is graduating from AIT in the begining of february. He never complains about wat he does. I am just so proud of everything he has done.

He made first class in 4 years!!!! SOOOO proud of him!!!!

:grphug

He made EOD tech very young, and everyone thinks he's much older based on his maturity and experience... he chose a career that requires him to run towards something most run away from. He is so bashful about all of his medals and awards, and thinks what he does is an everyday thing. He is a super dedicated guy, and the command knows they can count on him when they can't on others. And in all of that, he makes time for us. He's my hero!

:yay I love seeing all the reasons we are proud of our men!

Db is on his 4th deployment and continues to be optomistic... that is enough for me!

im proud of him for the job hes doing right now its amazing :) cant say anything for OPSEC and what not but im very proud of him:)

this is his 1st deloyment and he loves it..while im all worried and nervous for him

i'm proud that db volunteered to go back this time. he saw the need for his service and instead of waiting around to get called back, he offered to go. he had to change units and go thru a lot of extra training and get used to a whole new group, PLUS he got promoted shortly after transferring units so he has all this extra responsibility on top of everything.

he's amazing and i've never been prouder of anyone in my life.

Yes I am very proud of my husband. I think him going into the service is what I'm mostly proud of. He hadnt been working for 2 years and he joined and left. It was the best thing he could have done. It was hard to be apart but I knew he was doing it for me and our future. He makes me very proud just knowing what he goes through to make our future better.

Getting his air crew wings after 3 years of trying, lost paperwork, and a stupid boss.

and his ability to work night crew...I would have strangled someone!

Being there for his guys. Making them a family and never forgetting what is most important in the Navy. The people.

Im SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO proud of Anthony :cloud9


Before joining the Army he was headed to a bad lifestyle :( Since the age of 12 Dh had been selling drugs, stealing, homeless....fighting, not keeping a job, going to college once a month...

I told him i was gonna break up w/ him if he didnt change...& he enlisted & asked to marry me :wub

So im really just proud that he changed his life for not only me but for his self...that profoundness will never fade...

Since DH is active Air National Guard, he works stateside as well as gets deployed. I'm proud that every major hurricane that's hit since I've known him, he and his unit have gone and supplied communication support for the Red Cross and rescue efforts. He spent a month in southern Mississippi after Katrina, living in a ruined jr high's gym so that the area would have emergency phones and internet (he does fully mobile satellite communications, when they are set up, they can provide emergency phone and internet service for a city of 50K people).

He was promoted to E-7 the last time he was in Iraq and he was 29 at the time. And he just got Senior NCO of the Quarter last quarter. I'm very proud of all the hard work he's put into his job. When we went to the Christmas party last year, many of his men told me how much they loved working with my husband, etc. He's a good guy.

despite the fact that he hates it, he still gives it 110% and is recognized on a regular basis by his higher-ups.
People have fought over who "gets him" in their divisions.
and he's about to be capped for the 2nd time & he has only been in 2 years.

hmm definitely that he was in a dead end, low paying job, where he jacked around most of the time, then came home and spent the rest of his time drinking and smoking pot...

I finally told him I had enough and I wasn't going to be in a relationship that volatile, or dangerous, not to mention I worked 40+ hours a week and took on a full school load just to pay the bills. He immediately cleaned up his act, joined the army, and asked me to marry him.

I feel such happiness when I think of all he does for us now.

I am proud of Df for the amount of commitment and resposibility he feels for his unit and men.

I love that he has something that he is so passionate about in life!

:wub

That no matter what is going on and how frustrated he gets with everything he works his hardest and never gives up

That he is willing to sacrifice time with his family to protect this country

I'm so proud of my SO for many things but the top one would be is no matter what he's gone through during his military career, he still is in the military & definately qualifies as a "lifer".

I'm proud of my DF for his service in Iraq and how he refuses to let anyone think he's brave. I'm proud of the marksmanship and achievement ribbons he has earned and never brags about, and that he is studying so hard for the promotion test and getting his degree, too. His dedication and positivity humble me and inspire me :smitten

Hmm I think I am most proud that he decided to go back in. He was in the army when he was 17, and we discharged due to an injury. He always thought about joining up again, but it never seemed like the right time. Everyone in my family and a lot of our friends thought he was crazy for doing it, but I knew it was what he wanted and so he re-joined. I'm glad he changed his MOS tho, and that he isn't infantry anymore, but I am so proud that he re-joined. He says it was the best decision he could have made, he is so much happier, and I know it is exactly where we are suppose to be. And instead of just going from job to job he actually has ambition, and wants to go to college so he can be an officer, so yay for that!

I'm proud of Jason because he had a rough start of it in Hawaii but at the end he was one of their top guys, he received a Joint Service Achievement Medal after our orders there were done. He's doing really well at this command too, he's taken on a lot of responsibilities here (does urinalysis, is an MAA, and doing his ITO tech/system admin. stuff).

He's so lazy at home that sometimes I forget he does a good job at work :lol

He truly is amazing I tell you I love him to death:blush

Im proud of him because he's trying his hardest to make Corporal an he want's me to pin him. Im proud that he holds so much honor in what he does.

This is from a news article... :wub


Soldiers with the 1st Brigade Combat Team, 34th Infantry Division rescued three people during a raid on a house with blood-stained walls near Fallujah, Iraq, Jan. 22, capturing several al Qaeda operatives and insurgents in the process.
The suspected "insurgent torture house" was destroyed after the bound hostages were rescued.
The troops, part of Company B, 2nd Battalion, 136th Infantry weren't expecting to find victims still inside, Capt. Chip Rankin told the Associated Press.
"They looked like they hadn't eaten or had any water in a long time," said Captain Rankin. "There's no doubt we saved those three individuals' lives."

The three officials, who supported the new Iraqi government, reportedly were kidnapped in Fallujah.
"One victim had been burnt, cut and his kneecaps shattered," Captain Rankin said. "He was slipping into shock when we found him."
The other two were able to leave on their own, he said.
"One of the captives told us that he had been there for 14 days and had witnessed nine others being executed," Captain Rankin said.
Troops also discovered shackles, chains, clubs, syringes and a blow torch, officials said. They also found multiple weapons caches in nearby houses.
The rescue was an emotional lift to the Minnesota Guard soldiers, whose yearlong deployment was recently extended as part of the planned U.S. troop buildup.
"Morale's maybe down a little right now; we got an extension, and this is a big week for us," Captain Rankin said. "To see other people care about it, it goes a long ways for the guys here, too."

This is from a news article... :wub

That was your husband, leftover? Wow. Wow. That's three families that have their loved ones back because of him...How wonderful.

This is from a news article... :wub

That is so awesome! kudos!

He came back in as an e-4 and within 3 years made e-6. When he made e-6 he was capped (he had only taken 1 test at that point, too). When we got here he had alot of problems with his knee and was set back in school because of it. We were really worried that he wouldn't get through the school. But now he is one of if not the best RDC in his ship. Senior Chief has let it known that he relies on John since he knows what he is doing and has put him in charge of several things for the ship, including training. It is really nice seeing how good of an RDC he is since the beginning was so rocky.

I'm proud of the person he has become...the respectful, responsible individual he has grown into.
I'm proud of his making PFC
I'm proud of him finishing Airborne School (what he really wanted to do) even after he was told he would not be joining an Airborne division (due to lack of spaces).

I could go on and on...but hey which one of us couldn't if we tried. :o)

Im proud at the fact that he wanted to be a Recruiter( its not an easy job) and is doing great at it!!! hes been doing this for 3 months and has already gotten 4 people in.

Im proud because hes good at anything he does and always excels from it.

Getting Sailor of the Year.

I'm proud of my husband because he's been through a lot and had a really rough time growing up. He never really found his calling until he joined the army 2 years ago. It's like bing in it has given him focus and the mindset that he can achieve certain things he never thought possible for himself. He's going back to school when he gets back from Iraq and also applying for officer school.

I am VERY proud of him. :yes

I'm proud that he is 27 years old and already a Chief (E-7).

I'm proud of his devotion and pride for the Navy.

I'm proud that he designed and implemented a web based system that is now being used in all of the new Fast Attack Submarines.

im proud that hes only been in the navy a yeah and a half and is already a E4 at 21 yrars old, and i that he made the desion to join al togeather:blush:D

That was your husband, leftover? Wow. Wow. That's three families that have their loved ones back because of him...How wonderful.

He was one out of a squadron, he didn't do it singlehandedly. :lol

He didn't say much about it, but he did say that those men no longer had families. I think that means they were executed.

He was one out of a squadron, he didn't do it singlehandedly. :lol

He didn't say much about it, but he did say that those men no longer had families. I think that means they were executed.

Right, sorry, I didn't mean to imply that it wasn't a squadron effort. Even if their families are gone, somebody must be happy to have their friend or cousin or neighbor back--I dunno, the sectarian violence, torture and executions are truly heartbreaking and I just think it's great that there are three less people dead from it because of your husband's squadron.

What is one thing that made you proud of your SO as far as their service goes?








(Dont forget OPSEC)

DH is a SARP counselor, so he helps people in ALL branches of the military thru tough times and thru their long treatment. It is mentally draining on him at times. He is so caring and gives these men and women such great advice and help.

I am proud of Hubby just for being him he is my All Amercian hero he is a New York City firefighter as well as a EM1 in the navy he was active for ten years then got out joined the FD and just could not get it out of his blood stayed reserves and is now helping us all to enjoy our freedom he has done amazing things in the military and out and keeps on amazing me everyday!!

I'm proud of my DH because he got hand selected for his current job when he was an E-5 when it was supposed to be an E-7 who filled it. Plus I'm proud of him for getting his degree in 5 years and knowing that school for a while was more important than getting promoted... so now he gets to apply to officer school... Crossing fingers he gets in!

I'm proud of DB for getting 81% higher than everyone else at the recruit station for his testing, and because of that and the program he's getting into he'll be at E-4 right out of Boot Camp. Luf him so much!

I am proud of DH for:

- joining at 17
- making the Navy a career (and as a NUKE!)
- being selected as SOY last year for the command
- being selected for SOY again this year, but we are still competing in the process in hopes that he goes all the way
- being a very supported DH and father for our family.

I am proud of my DH be/c:

1. he is a good christian man
2. he is doing what he is doing for us
3. he WANTS to be a good father and husband and not be/c I demand it from him
4. he is just an honorable man

He made first class in 4 years!!!! SOOOO proud of him!!!!

wow my hubby said that is impossible for his job he is a ST, what rate is your hubby?

I am proud of my hubby for all of his accomplishments that he has achieved in the Navy. Being the best father he can be for our son and bein g the best husband he can be to me. all in all I love him and Miss him tons

So Proud Of Him

Just how he has grown from a boot camp to what he is now. It's like two different people.

lol. here's a good one.

db was minding the laptop & projector during a presentation recently. the co was sitting on one side of him & the xo on the other. i guess it was pretty boring, because the xo fell asleep. when the co noticed, he elbowed db & told him to wake up the xo. db thought about it for a second, & then elbowed the xo. LMAO!!!

There is so many reasons why i am proud of DH.

-He's going to a program thru SIU that will give him his BA in less then 2 years, which means he has to work 5 days a week and also go to school on the weekends.
-Made the Dean's list, because his GPA was very high.
-He never complains although i know that he's stressed out to the limits at times.
-He wants to become an officer when he's able too.
-He always put 110% at whatever he does.
-He loves what he does and is willing to stay in 30 years if he can.

How out of all his friends from before the Military would talk about joining but never did and DB took the leap even though he had a rich and bright future without the Military. Took the leap because he felt it was part of his duty and need to help defend America after 9-11.

--sorry I have two--

How he is the one all his Commanding Officers think highly of out of over so many guys. How they are talking about making him a SPC sooner then he should because of all the things he put his hand up to do and still continues to do.

I'm still learning so much about all of this that I'm sure there would be more...but he has a purple heart and still went out for his 3rd deployment with more strength than the first two. :) :superhero

Well lets see... mine is a 22yr old Senior Corpsman.... who is OUTFREAKIN STANDING ....he was just nominated for Blue jacket of the quarter.... and is getting ready to take his first officers exam!!..... He's the best there is out there... and he's done all this.. plus so much more..... I love him.....:thinking

he has matured exceptionally

I'm proud of my husband for proving that there is life after the military. He joined the Marines when he was 18 and served a full term. After he got out he used his GI bill for college and has since graduated both undergraduate and graduate school. He has proven to me that no dream is too big!

I am so proud of him for being in the military and sticking it out as a true man without complaining about it.

There are so many things!
When he made Chief (E-7) this past year, I can't even tell you how proud I was (am). But I have watched him grow as a sailor, and as a man in so many ways over the years.

I had written this down in my journal a few months ago - "Whenever I think there is no way I could be more proud, he goes and does something else that makes me even more proud..."

I am always proud of my DH in general. He's a wonderful service member, husband, brother, friend, etc, etc. I am really blessed. I whole heartedly support his efforts with the military. While I don't enjoy some dynamics (ah sea commands, long deployments) they do come with the territory. After all these years, I truly only continue to do what I do for him. Today in fact, I reflected a bit on patriotic feelings and while I do it also for that, b/c I love the great country I live in. It's really for him after many years of doing all I do with this lifestyle. Probably b/c I miss family and friends I've lost touch with after getting married and moving away from home many years ago.

He makes me proud :wub

My fiancee has gone through alot. As I know have tons of other marines.
He is only in the beginnning stages but im so proud that he made a life changing decision to join the Marine Corps I am proud that he is top of his class and I'm proud because he is an amazing Dad and a great Fiancee!

The fact that he VOLUNTEERED to go to Iraq instead of automatically getting deployed. He wanted to help fight the war on terror, he didn't just go because he had to follow orders. SO PROUD!

He is currently doing his second year in Iraq. He has never once complained about having to be over there. He feels it is an honor to serve.

My buttons bust off I am so proud. I get more defensive then he does when people give him lip about it. :giggle

:D

He made Staff Sergeant like fast, I think he's only been in for 4 years, and he's Reserves too. He's really got some great ambitions, so unlike so many other men I know.

My hubby has done so many things in the military.

He's been in for almost 14 years.

He was deployed to Bosnia back in 96, he has been deployed 3 times with this war, and he will be deployed again in 2009.

His attitude of endless positivity makes me proud. I don't have that sort of attitude, and I'm not even the one who goes. So him being optimistic, even in the worst of times shows me he's a true champ.

aww I am glad to see he is being so positive. I am proud of all the military especially my DH. He enlisted after 9-11 saying he will fight for his country's freedom for as many years as they will let him. 4 years so far. Fort Hood, Texas!

This time 2 years ago DH was a recovering drug addict, unemployed, no education and no job. Now 2 years later, he's married has 3 kids, we rent our home and have a fairly new vehicle and are preparing to move across the country. He has gone clean and sober for over 2 years and gotten his GED and is now taking college courses and hopes to do some volunteer work with in house rehab programs when this is all said and done in the army....18years from now....
Oh, and he received his first promotion before he was even in BCT and his next 2 promotions just after graduating AIT....
OH, and if it weren't for him and i falling in love and marrying the military lifestyle....I would still be a stay at home full time welfare mom with 2 kids and a psychotic ex husband.....lol

he was the youngest to up on Staff in his unit...he very well may be the youngest to put on Tech as well...I'm just proud of him because he goes above and beyond...he's doing so much this trip that is well over his rank and he has excelled at it and been recognized several times for it...

My hubby makes me proud everyday. He has accomplished so much in the Navy. He also drives 45 mins each way to work so that I could live where I wanted to. He does everything thing he can for me. He let me attend school full time and not even have to worry about getting a job. Everything my baby does make me so very proud of him

He is sooooo smart. He has the highest GPA in his AIT class.

A year ago when I first started talking to my SO, he mentioned one reason he joined was to keep himself out of trouble. He told me the other week that even though he hates being away from his family & the people he loves, he knew joining was the right thing to do. It made me happy & proud. I guess it's because my older brother (a Marine) joined for the wrong reasons and got out as soon as possible while one of his friends worked his butt off to lose weight to be able to join because he always wanted to join the Marines and fight for his country and he was KIA a few years back. So knowing that my SO is in it for the right reasons makes me proud!

That he made it through Ranger School without recycling. It's practically unheard of. I'm even more proud of him for being up for E5 with less than 2 1/2 years in the army.

That he made it through Ranger School without recycling. It's practically unheard of. I'm even more proud of him for being up for E5 with less than 2 1/2 years in the army.


My dad and Tony must be practically unheard of guys too. lol. Tony made it through Ranger School with no recycles, as did my dad in 1984. Tony was also the Honor Graduate for his Pre-Ranger Course Class. :) (Mike must be a tough cookie like my guys too. lol)

I am incredibly proud of Tony for making it through this last deployment, with his injury, with a great attitude and a huge heart. He did not let the bad things that happened to him change him as a person, and I am amazed at that. To hear the things he has done, and has been through from others who were with him causes me to beam with pride every time.

I am proud as hell of Tony for making E-5 at before his two year mark, and even more proud that now he has been recommended for the E-6 board on October 2nd. He's currently in a leadership position that would be held by an E-7. If he makes it, he will pin E-6 before his four year mark. Fingers crossed. :xfingers

I'm just really proud of him because for a while things weren't looking so good. But now so far he did really well on his test and is going to be an air traffic controler, he was ARPOCK of his division in basic, was in the running to being on award board (and would have if he wasn't the division leader), and got his division in second place for hall of fame. He's JUST starting out and doing so well he's already been promoted in boot and he's really happy. I'm soooo proud of him it makes me teary.

Joining up... passing his DLAB... he hasn't left for Basic yet, so that's all I got. But I'm still proud of him.

He was meritoriously promoted to Sgt. after being a Cpl. for only 9 months, and in his first enlistment.

He also volunteered for this year-long deployment, his third overall.

And, most of all, I am so proud because despite everything, he remains one of the most positive and optimistically sunny people I know. :wub

I am proud of J just being J. Career wise, it's been a good one, and it's hard to go into specifics as our military as a different system, and is structured way different. I am happy however that he has just start 7 years RegF (full-time) out of his 20 year contract. Seems he is in it for the long haul, and making leaps and bounds as he does it.

I'm extremely proud of DH for sticking it out at this tech school, even though by the time he graduates he will have been in tech school for 28 months and he so desperately wants to be operational!!

I'm proud of my DB because for one he went through 2 deployments and helped Louisiana when they had that hurricane. And I'm more proud of him now because hes going to school and not letting anything get to him. He got help when he needed it.

My DB went from an E-3 to E-6 in two years along with joining the ranks of the police department!! I'm so proud of my sweetie!!!!!!!!!

Everything Greg does makes me proud.

He's top in his class for A-school and got a really wonderful assignment because of it. (L)

thats true for me also lol. This relationship has been the best one ever i have been in.

aww congrats.

I can't list them all. Every last thing he has done in the service and with his life makes me proud.

He's so freakin responsible :)

DH is an FMF Corpsman so he deploys with the Marines. He has to deal with people telling him he joined the Navy because he couldn't handle the Corps and rude things like that. So what, he's not quite Navy, not quite Marine, he's somewhere in between. And I'm proud of him no matter what!

I am proud of my husband for making E-7 in 7 years, and for getting the SGT Audie Murphy award, among other things. :yay

well he finished prototype in the top 5 :D

That he has served our country,period. He has also deployed to
iraq 3x and is volunteering to go back.

(L) he's a 22(going to be 23) year old infantry marine,,, and im just so proud of him., even tho he's only in japan, not in the actual war.. but its though being away from home, family, friends, me... so i AM SUPER proud of my marine. OORAH

im so proud of my infantry marine


im proud because of his will to serve his country and for staying stong while dealing with being away from family and friends. he has not fought in the war, but he knows it is going to happen eventually and he looks forward to making a difference. i know how hard it is for him sometimes and knowing that he pulls through and still finds time to get an education makes me so proud.

hes my true love, my hero, my everything.

I am proud because even when he was deployed he never lost his good attitude and was there to cheer up all those around him when a good friend of theirs was killed.

I'm so proud of him. No matter what he does he always think of his unit first. He's a great leader.

He's accomplished so much in his 9 years of active duty.... including 2 deployments to Iraq...he truly is my hero. (L)

Anytime anyone finds out he's a Marine they thank him of course and ask him if he's been over there....

His response is always, "Yes 3 times, Your welcome, it's just a job". He's the most amazing, humble man I have ever met. And he's only 22!!!

Im proud just to be part of his life. I know the Marines made him a better man, but I know he was great even before that. It doesn't matter what rank he is, what he does for the Corps or anything like that...I love him and am proud just to be on his arm!!

My husband is a Flight Engineer. For those that are unfamiliar with it, it's two LONG years of training before he is qualified. It's the hardest thing he has done in his 10yrs in the Navy and I'm really proud of him.

No matter what situation comes his way, he never complains. He always makes the most of the situation he's in and that makes me proud. He has a purple heart that's proudly displayed all of his awards and medals make me proud. The fact that he has helped so many soldiers in Iraq because he's a medic also makes me proud...honestly I could go on and on...I love him!

I am very proud that my db has realized that he needs to do something with his life and is deciding to go into the navy. As much as I want to be selfish and I don't want him to go, I am so proud of his decision.
