I always wear my Marine Corps sweatshirt and I have a liscense plate that says "My heart belongs to a US Marine". Plus other things. I love to show my pride. How do you all show your pride?

I love the fact that no matter who I meet who has a loved one in the military, there's an immediate bond with that person. We just understand each other. What do you like?

I hate when my friend come to me and talk about not seeing or txting there bf/gf all day. I try to be nice but it kills me on the inside. I mean have even thought who your complaining to. I mean I might still be new to military life , and no I have not been though a deployment but i have been setting here the last four months with seeing my boyfriend as he goes through boot camp and AIT. I have gone weeks at a time with nothing but letters and if I'm lucky a 5min phone call on Sunday. I dont get to txt let you or see him like you. Yea now we can Skype but thats only if he has time. So Pleas stop complaining to me because its starting to make me up set . Has any one else ever felt this way abut there friends or is it just me?

Comment by Ashlee Dover on June 28, 2012 at 11:52am I understand completely. By all means, they can come to me for venting or advice about these kinds of situations, but I don't want to hear it all the time. There comes a time when they must get out of the "center of the universe" chair and listen to your grievances. Just sit down with them and talk it out with them. Tell them how you feel. I have this girl I know from school who I follow o Twitter (well not anymore). She would always complain about how she needs a cuddle buddy and a texting buddy and how she wants to meet the perfect guy. Those three topics are all she would tweet about. I couldn't stand it! At first, I was like, "You'll find a guy one day!" Now I just want to bang my head against the wall!
All you can do is sit down with your friends and explain your dilemma. If they truly understand, they'll be there for you and fix the problem at hand. :)
I know exactly how you feel. I definitely don't want people to feel sorry for me or feel like they can't vent to me but they need to understand how good they have it. Military life is hard any way you look at it. Maybe if you explain to your friends what you're going through, they can learn to appreciate all the communication they have with their significant other.
Comment by Paige Williams on June 28, 2012 at 10:07am You have I have and how recently it was. I would suggest telling them what it is like for you and how nice they really have it. And ask them not necessarily for understand but to not complain to you about it all because really.... you can only have so much sympathy for them when they are still able to pick up a phone and text/call whenever they want...
