My bf and I started dating about 3-4 months ago and in the light of his possible first deployment, it really hit me that I'm a military girlfriend, which is the translation of my username. I am not latina, but learning Spanish, so.
I'm 19, born and bred Maryland, go to college in UT, BYU!
So the weirdest thing about this deployment is that we are already separated because of my schooling. But the separation will be different when my Navy boy goes shipboard.
So, hello. I feel like I just stepped through the wardrobe into Narnia. This is a whole new world for me.

I know the feeling. I'm at school in TN, and my boyfriend is from Atlanta. It took until my boyfriend left for basic for it to hit me that I was a military girlfriend too

WELCOME!!

We're all in similar situations here and ready to talk to you if you need it!

Welcome to SOS!!! Everyone here is great and if there's anything you need there's always someone here to help, this place has helped me through alot and I hope it does the same for you too :)

hello and welcome!
I'm a new military g/f as well. been dating my DB for about 5months now. ever need to talk about anything, literatly. just PM me

so question: DB, DH???

Gosh that is very similar to my situation. I've been through a deployment before but this time it's different; my boyfriend and I are totally in love.

We met in April and we are also already separated. I live in Houston right now and he is in San Diego preparing for his first WesPac. Being a Military Girlfriend is hard and somedays its harder, especially when he is on the Sub and can only email (which at times is rare). I plan on moving back to San Diego next year, but in the meantime.....time is going slow.

I'm glad to have found this website. :-D

Lol @ Narnia bit, I really liked that movie.

Welcome to SOS! And yes, welcome to the world of the military SO. It's harsh, but rewarding.

I hope you like it here.

Hey your situation is very similar to me and my husband's. I met him when he was stationed in San Antonio (Where I go to school)....then they sent him to North Carolina, and we got married there....now he's going to Iraq in a few days. Soo..yeah i think allot of us girls are seperated especially if you go to school....good luck. Don't you love the site!

:welcome Yay another homegrown Marylander! My boyfriend is in Iraq as well. Looking forward to talking with you!

Hello and welcome...I found myself in a simliar situation and all I can say is have faith....me and my bf were together 3 months before he deployed but after great advice from these girls here I was able to restore my self confidence and learn ways to grow with him even while he is gone......we have gotten a bit close and have been able to talk often which has helped in getting to know him more...you hang in there and it wall fall into place.....good luck....

Welcome to SOS, nad just make sure you keep yourself busy do you don't have much time to think on how much you miss him. Hang in there girl
