:no :no :no :no :no :no :no :no :tears :tears :tears DF heard today that its very likely he'll go overseas(Iraq with Marines most likely). He's a hospital corpsman. Although after his training he'll be stationed at a hospital 40 mins from me..he'll be put on a "platform"? and then sent out most likely. I mean this isnt even close to being definite but just hearing it..I wanna roll over and die. He is excited, and it's what he wants, he wants to go over there and help people. I'm proud and honored to be his fiance because he's just such an honorable guy..but..I want him here. I'm being selfish,I know..I'm really trying to be supportive.:shock I'm such a bad fiance. Well it's 2am and I have an 8am class,i'll try to sleep I guess. :tired

Awww :hugs ...I'm sorry!

I'm sorry. This is a part of the military life, and especially if he is a FMF corpsman, he will be sent with the Marines at some point. When they are FMF, no matter where they are stationed, they have to be with a platform. Now Bill's platform is Fleet Hospital Bremerton, but he was never sent with them. He was plucked from the command and sent with Marines from Camp Pendleton. I am here for you if you have any questions or concerns :hugs

Thoughts being sent your way.....

Don't know when you will read this....I hope you are able to get rest....

Finals are coming up.....talk to you tomorrow

so sorry darling. you're not a bad fiance at all. i think deep down no one wants their SO's to leave. who would really? just appreciate all the time you have now (although i'm sure you already do) my dh went to irag and he actually liked the experience of it all. good luck!!!:hugs :hugs

my dh went to irag and he actually liked the experience of it all. good luck!!!:hugs :hugs

My husabnd is enjoying his experience as well. It's an experience than none of us first hand will be able to experience. I mean, it has it's crappy points, but he is enjoying his job there, of course, he's ready to come home :hehe

dh was there 2 months and then went to kuwait and africa, and he like irag the best. he worked with marines there too. go figure.

Also, I wanted to add...

Just because he's on a platform doesn't mean he'll deploy. When DJ was at San Diego he was on Platform 5 and they deployed him to Cuba. Without the rest of his platform.

Unfortunately this is the way it is:
* New Corpsman
* Not Married
* No Kids
* MALE

He'll end up in Iraq or Afghanistan at some point during this war. It's a miracle that DJ's just been sent to Cuba so far.

eta... Isn't he still *IN* Corps School? If his first duty station is a Hospital, it doesn't mean he's going any time soon. He'll still have to go TAD to Lejune or Pendleton to become FMF (Fleet Marine Force). And that is a 3 month class, if he passes. If not, they recycle him to the next class. If he fails that class, they take his cadeuces and he becomes a regular seaman on a ship.

Praying for you no matter what happen.

He's doing PSI at Lejuene right now, he starts FMSS next week. He already completed A school, at the head of his class. :cp He would never fail anything because this is his dream and he loves it. Why does his dream give me tummy aches?:sick He wants to go over there. But he is only active for 15 months because he chose the National Call to Service Contract. I'm going to be as supportive as I can:yes Thanks for your help:D
