Well...lots has happened to me in the last week, so I don't really know where to start. So I've decided just to post a poem...I hope this touches others as much as it touched me...
The Army Girlfriend
Everyone hears of the Army Wife,
Her trials, sacrifices, and devoted life.
She is strong, she is brave, and she is loving indeed,
Standing by her man in his time of need.
But what of others in a similar situation,
Who have made being an Army girlfriend their main occupation?
They suffer many of the same trials and many of the same fears
Without the security of future years.
Will there be peace or will there be war?
You try to be hopeful but it's hard to ignore.
The world seems to be falling apart
When, to a soldier, you have given your heart.
Your love runs too deep to escape from it now.
Your hope to be together somewhere, somehow,
When his duty is over and your life can begin.
You wonder if it will happen but don't question when.
The many heartbreaks and the times you did weep
When he made promises the Army couldn't keep.
But you have learned so much together and come so far.
Others warned you not to fall in love but you already are.
His job is ever-changing and takes him far away.
You think of him always and pray every day--
For his safety, his courage, and his love for you
That he remain steadfast, loyal, and ever true.
Nothing is sure and nothing is set in stone.....
Except that he will leave again and you will be alone,
Holding tightly to your dreams of a future together
When you will at last be able to say the word "forever."
Tears have become anything but a stranger.
They fall freely in sadness, loneliness, and anger.
But he will never know because you will never tell.
You've learned to hide your misery only too well.
A few years? That doesn't sound like so long.
The letters and phone calls keep your love going strong,
Even when they are few and far between,
In them, his love for you can clearly be seen.
So keep your chin up and a smile on your face.
He is protecting your freedom and keeping you safe.
His heart is strong and his love is true
And don't ever forget that he is missing you too.
I Love You Baby...Come Home Safe...I'll See You Soon <3
The Ring He Sent Me!!
We Are officially Promised!!! <3
Combats and Kisses
I Miss Tippy Toe Kisses with my 6'7" Goof...
Me & The Man I Love
One Day He'll Be Home and I Can Kiss Him Again
About Me
- Proud Military Girlfriend
- I have been thrown into a military life. Out of the blue I fell in love with a Gunner for the Canadian Tankers...I cry when I see guns...and I go dumb when I hold a knife...yet somehow this Utterly perfect man still loves me. He is currently Deployed to Afghanistan/The'Ghan or The Sandbox. I have created this blog as a way for me to Release the tension and stress I get from this life style sometimes...so I say sorry in advance for my most likely reoccuring Rants about the military and about how much I miss the man I love and plan to marry :P

i am right there with you...my boyfriend and i have only been goin out for 5 months now but i have never been in a better relationship but 3 months into our relationship he had to go to army trianing he is still there and it has been very hard and painful but knowing he loves me gets me through the time...
This is a very good poem!
...My boyfriend has only been deployed since January 12th, along with my brother, but I never imagined it being this hard! Every line of this poem is so true! Keep your head up ladies! Hang in there.. They'll be home soon! =]
I know how u feel. I have been dating my boyfriend for a while now and he is about to get deployed to Afganastan. He is stationed in Germany at teh moment. We are planning a trip to Australia in about 6 or 7 months deoending on when he takes his leave. Engaged..very soon =] It gets hard sometime but I have his parents around alot so I feel a little closer to him. although nothing could compare to having him home safe and sound! God Bless you bf for all he does and best of Luck between you too!
im crying.. that was very touching! God bless you! and hope everything is going great for u and ur bf.
That is all so true!! Me and my boyfriend have been dating 6 months now and in 5 he will be deploying to Afghan!! I am so scared, but I know he needs my support and thats is what he will get!! We will be strong!! Keep your head up girls!!
i know exactly how everyone feels my boyfriend and i havent even been together 2 months and he got deployed to afghanistan its really hard but im so in love with him s
You most definitely know how to touch people with this! You described perfectly what it's like to be an army girlfriend! When I first read this I was shocked and honestly I was a bit teary myself when I stumbled upon this site....not only do you understand, but it freaked me out because my military guy is also named Trevor so it was even more of a weird coincidence! Thanks for sharing it girl! :D I wish you two the best!
dear, Army Girlfriend..my name is jamie miller and im from chetopa ks. im 17 yrs old and my boyfriend is 18 yrs old. this is his senior yr and hes going into the military but he don't know if he should keep dating me wen he goes because he don't want me stuck here hurt or waiting. i love him and im gonna wait no matter what it takes, how can i make him understand this..without being to pathetic about it...him going is killing me..i love him dearly and im young..i feel like im in the movie DEAR JOHN and theres no way out. i know i can't stop him from going..but its breakin me more and more..please email me or something..i could use the advice from someone who knows...:(
heres my email,jamtastic16@yahoo.com
I am in the same situation. I am 16 yrs old and my boyfriend is 18. We been going together for eight months and i feel like the luckiest girl in the world. He is such a gentalman and loves me. When he graduated from highschool he enrolled in the army and ia going to traing bootcamp whatever its called for three months. His departure date is next sunday and i feel like my heart is going to crumble into a million pieces. I really like your poem it gives me strength but can anyone please give me some advice? I need help.
Jamie,
I know exactly how both of you feel...as do many other military girlfriends/fiances/wives. I know it's hard, and it's not always what WE want...and it took me a long time to understand. My man's a marine and it's so clear to me how much he LOVES being a marine. So regardless of how much I love him and how selfish I want to be, I know I can't. You can't try to stop him from doing something he loves. The only thing you can do is be there and support him without question. Love him even when it seems like you guys never talk and like it will be forever until you get to see him again...trust me...it makes the times he is home so much better. I cherish every moment I get with my Marine, but I know even when he's not around physically, our love is still the same. Stay strong...not only for yourself, but for your man. Remember that it's not any easier for him to be away from you, as well as his home and all of his friends and family...keep your head up and stay strong. It's never goodbye...always See You Later.

amazing poem. Beautiful and so helpful. My Solider is a hero.
this honestly brought tears to my eyes, it was very good and Soo true. I'm a army girlfriend also, and i can relate to this very well.
Im right there to..i miss my soldier so much i hope he comes home soon.. we've only be together for a mounth but it seems like we have known eachother all of our lives, my love for him keeps growing stronger and stronger ever single day,his deployment is n Aug.. but i stand right there beside him threw thick and thin.. i can honesly say im proud to say that's my baby serving our country=)!
Girlfriend has does not equal wife. Get over yourself. I feel more for the woman who has stood by her husband for 20 years than a girlfriend who has been with her boyfriend for 3 months. That said, it is still an extremely sad situation, and I feel for you all.
I loved this poem, but to all of the younger girls, it will get harder and your love will be tested just like mine. It's whether you are strong enough to make it through the hard times. My heart goes out to the Army Wives, being only 18 myself I look up to these women. They define the word "strong".
this poem is very true and has alot of meaning. im 18 and am married to an army man and this is his 3rd year being in it. He just got back from afgan and that was the hardest year of our relationship but yes it will test your love and if you really love that person and are in it for the long run then you wont have any problem waiting on him. Good luck to all you girls who have boyfriends in the army!
I'm going throw the exact same thing me and my boyfriend have been together for about 2months and his mom is interferen in our relationship and we might brake up. I love my army boyfriend<3

I can tell you that this poem brought tears to my eyes. my boyfriend corey is over in afghan. i got to see him for four days in aug before he had to go back. We started talking in jun and made it offical in Aug but I do love him with all my heart. We aren't married yet, but we are talking about it later on in the future. He's suppose to come home in dec so i'm looking forward to it. good luck to all you other girls out there with deployed boyfriends.
This is amazing. My boyfriend just left for basic and this is the only peom that has really related to being the army gf. It is beautiful
Finally a poem I can relate to! My boyfriend and I have been together for 2 years now and the hardest thing I had to go through was not being able to see him for our 2 year anniversary. This poem is really helping me get through the hard times.
wow, kinda scary to think in a few months my boyfriend is going to be leaveing for basic training :( its so hard me and him have been best friends for a year or so he was the person i told everything to and he told me everything he treats me so good and we've been dateing for like a month hes 18 and im 17 hell be 19 in feb. i know im young but i care about him so much because were so close to each other, and im so scared to watch him leave and know i wont be able to talk to him for the first 6 weeks hes there. its gonna be so hard because we see/talk to each other every single day. so its gonna be supper hard haveing to go weeks with out talkin to or seeing him:( so do any of yall have any advice on how to stay strong if so heres my email and i would appreciate any and everything u girls can give me "stephanie_renee94@yahoo.com" and this poem is sooo good i started crying when i read it<3
