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?

We also met in high school! We were best friends for 5 years before we started dating. We dated for a year and broke up and have been back together for 7 months now :]
My husband would like to be stationed in San Diego. He is in school for Aviation Technician-I level, so he will have C school afterwards. We're not sure where that will be yet :/
Oh I see. That's still bizarre that you didn't get the letters with everyone else. I cried so hard when I went out for the first time because I went and saw a band that we always went to see and when they played songs that we used to dance to I just lost it. That's great that you get to be there with him! When will you know where he'll be stationed? How did y'all meet?
I'm a member of one of those groups too! It's awful when I'm at work and all the moms are telling us to check the mail and I have to wait hours before I can go home & see and sometimes I won't have a letter when the rest of them do. One girl was telling me that her roomate was taking her letters!! Can you believe that? I'm so glad you ended up getting them! They really are what keeps me going. I wouldn't say that I've "gotten used" to it but I'm definitely in a routine now that I know he writes on Sunday & I get a letter on Wednesday. That phone call definitely threw me a curveball haha :] What does your husband do? I saw that y'all live in San Diego. One of my best friends just moved back there! Such a beautiful area.
Honestly, the first month dragged by so slow. I was still crying every day and waiting on letters to come. Once the first letter and first phone call came, it brightened my entire week. I know that letters come on Wednesdays so that helps break up my weeks a little bit :] He got to call yesterday because his division had a perfect inspection. We got to talk for 27 minutes :] Yes ma'am he will be on a sub. Thank you for the support! I really appreciate it.
Hi! My husband graduated from boot camp in February this year, so we are fairly new to the Navy life. We are living in Pensacola, FL while he's in A school. How long has your husband been in the Navy? What does he do in the Navy?
Long distance is hard on the wallet! Ha! We are close enough to where we can drive an hour and a half. I live in the bay area. He is based at Beale AFB in Marysville, but lives off base. We started dating a couple months ago. A month in he told me that they just gave him orders for deployment. Thats when I signed my name on the dotted line and said "im buckled in and bring it on!" Where were you guys before San Diedo?
Will and I don't live in the same town when he is home. So I am used to not always seeing him everyday. He isn't in overseas just yet since he left yesterday. Just gotta take it as it comes since I'm in it for the long haul. Where is your husband doing his training? How long have you guys been together?

He's still in boot camp right now! He left April 11, graduates on June 15 :]
