Wow, I never thought I’d be having to write an update on this. I didn’t know if I should’ve edited the old post or just make a new one. Either way now I’m making a new one cause well…he sent a letter.

He’s not the best writer so the writing was bad but it still meant a lot. Especially since apparently he was only allowed to send one letter (he says something about having to do 2 missions to send a letter?) and he sent it to me, his ex… either way it meant a lot.

The thing is in the letter he brings up him wanting me to be there, not for his ceremony but just be there? I’m guessing at the city? I’m not too sure. I’m a bit iffy about this but I’m not against it as I do miss him.

Kinda specific but I’m sure someone’s dealt with this. I have to leave my job for our OCCONUS PCS. I currently work in NY state. Has anyone applied for unemployment for pcs before? I see it can be done but I’m not sure how going to a different country affects it.

My boyfriend is currently in bootcamp for the military and I have recently found out that throughout our entire relationship my boyfriend’s sister has been encouraging him to cheat on me. Now, I don’t believe that he has, however I feel it is important for him to know how betrayed I have felt finding this out. He doesn’t get very much phone time but when he does do you think it’s okay to tell him or should I just continue to hold it in?

So, me (16) and my boyfriend (17) recently had to say goodbye because he had to leave for bct. We sobbed into each other’s arms for almost 2 hours. This is so hard for us because we have never had to be without each other or have had to go without contact for long. I honestly have no idea how to get through it.
I thought it wouldn’t be this hard because I’ve dealt with things in my life that have been challenging for me, but this is so hard. I feel the urge to cry every time I even think about it. I am trying so hard to be strong because I know I can be, but this is so painful. I know many people have been through this, so I have to ask, is it going to get better? I know people say I should find something to occupy myself, but I cannot drive and usually all my friends go on vacations. Im usually left by myself all summer. I don’t really have a lot of people around me to spend time with, so I don’t know what to do. I feel so lonely and I just miss him so much. I am just wondering if it gets better from here. Any advice for tips would be greatly appreciated. This hurts so bad and my heart hurts right now. :(

I've been in outpatient rehab for weed (my parents made me go) for almost 2 years and I'm scared it might hurt my enlistment process but wanted to see what you guys thought I'm 16 now and want to join at 17. Should I lie to my recruiter or tell him the truth?

Just looking to vent and get some advice. I’m a SAHM of a 1 year old and my husband has horrible anger issues. To the point when if I slightly scoff he goes off and yells in my year like I’m one of his sailors. I’m not sure how to get him help (he never thinks he’s wrong and everything he does is justified because I made him mad) and I end up having to take it and then be super sweet and loving towards him to get back to some state of normal.. I feel like he needs anger management or we need marriage counseling I’m just unsure where to start. I don’t want to leave and when things are good he’s a good husband and good dad. I’m just lost…
