Relationships

[MrsMB]

Nope, not trying or pretending to be something I'm not. Sorry for the confusion. Thanks for understanding.

I went home for Xmas leave during OCS and my girlfriend was with another man.

I had that happen to me when I did six months in deployed to italy.

OK for both of you and your points of view. It would behoove you to learn to express yourself more clearly lest you be misunderstood by those who can derail your career or at the very least make it uncomfortable.
More than once I have been surprised by a youngster who I thought wa a titty baby and proved me wrong when push came to shove. I love it when that happens. It is extra firepower from an aspect I didn't expect and very welcome.
Keep in mind your demands are going to be extremely stressful on any personal relationships for the next few years. Could be you each find someone else in your given profession that understands the demands and commitments and can handle it. I see it all the time in aviation and only those in aviation can understand it. No different than those in the medical field and the weird demands of each. I find it odd that I know several male pilots who are RN's. I wonder why I find it odd...? hmmm
Best of luck to you both

Thanks Rock. To clear it up, I am no male nurse! She is a nursing student, I just meant that I am graduating the same time she is. I too wonder what made a person decide to do something totally different after putting themselves through the hell that is nursing school?

I get way too much enjoyment reading relationship threads. It's like I'd rather just sit back and read/predict the obvious than offer advice (although I did throw my .02 in earlier...oops). Anyone else feel this way?

My take- Live like a Viking for the next couple years.

As Otto said, you may want to ignore this advice - I'm pretty sure both raping AND pillaging are punishable under the UCMJ .

Yes! Way too many people get married too young for the wrong reasons. I'm looking forward to taking my time and playing the field well into my late 20's.

Judging by your screen name you must be a skeptic! I understand where you are coming from though.

You can also save a lot on wardrobe costs:

I believe he was referring to wearing helmets and going on board ship for extended periods of time where everybody smells and the food is crappy. And then you actually do something notable but the credit ends up going to someone else.

at least you were in italy. turnabouts fair play, and the play has always been pretty fair there.

Threadjack-

Does you boyfriend know you are putting an Mrs in your username? Kinda presumptive/nutty to me, especially since you are the GF, not the wife, and not engaged. If I were him, I'd be freaked the hell out by a woman calling herself "MrsMaster" as her username when we were only dating.

Maybe her BF at OCS is not the Husband she is the Mrs with?

(Just kidding)

Are vikings punishable under the UCMJ? They did enough pillaging in that Geico commercial to fill up the brig twice. Maybe someone should hold VMFA(AW)-225 accountable for their shenanigans one of these days! ok ok, bad joke
