- My fiance is in Iraq right now and it can be so hard. You can't even describe it or understand if you haven't gone through it.

- I can understand that there are a lot of young girlfriends/wives on here that have never dealt with being separated from their marine until now. All I can say is that it takes a special woman to be able to handle long term separation. If you don't learn to be independent and trusting then it won't work, bottom line. I'm not saying it will be easy, but seriously, if you know you can't be independent then you may want to re-evaluate. Marines will be marines and some will cheat and some won't. If you trust yours, you're golden. I really hope everyone is doing well and finds the answers and support they are looking for during their separation.

- My husband is currently in 29 Palms, CA. We have been best friends since 6th grade and have been a coule for almost 5 years. We just recently got married on his 10 day leave from boot camp in SD, Ca in July! He left 2 days after we got married! I talk to him everyday but I can't stand not being around my new husband/best freind! He is at his MOS and is told it will be a year and a half. He should be getting his company on Tue then he is going to get on the list for married housing. Does anyone know how long it usually takes to get housing?

- I have a boyfriend named corey wayne koewers that is a marine. When he left it was so freaking hard and still i am so anxious to see him again. He is stationed in San Diego California right now in boot camp. I have been hearing that alot of soldiers are getting sick and im so worried about him. Everytime he writes me it takes so long for the letters to get to me. I just wish i had someone to talk to that was in the same spot im in. I miss him so much & love him with all my heart and i pray he's doing great. But at least this shows me that he is strong and a real man. :)
I dont understand this process of which he has to go through i heard he goes through the "crucible" and im so scared for him. I dont know if he gets to stay when he comes back if he stays or if he goes to the MOS or does every guy go?

- I was wondering if someone could please help me. My boyfriend is in the Marines, currently at Camp Lejeune. Everyone thinks it is so stupid that I am with someone who I never see, and have a long distance relationship with. I have heard many horror stories about Marines cheating, and I am constantly shaking, wondering what is going to happen and if he is going to hurt me. I love him so much and I am willing to wait for him, but its only his second day at Camp Lejeune and I am already freaking out. This is only the beginning of his term, and with that in mind, I dont know if my heart is strong enough to deal with this for years to come. I have been cheated on so much, and I really cant trust anyone. I am willing to wait because I love him very much. Does anyone have a cure for the Marine blues? Please call me, I really need someone to talk to. 561-506-3925

- Kate - Please let me know what you find out! I am in the same boat, except Chase leaves for SD in December. He will be in Pensacola for Aircraft mechanic training afterwards. I don't have a clue on what to expect and I can't seem to find any answers, either.

- I am newly engaged to my Christopher who just left for boot in S.D. We are getting married in September on his ten day leave. I was hoping someone could tell me if i will be able to live with him while he is in Aircraft Tech school in Pennsacola Fl. Any info about marrying into the marines would be amazing. I feel i'm doing this all alone but understand thats all part of it!
Like i said " he enlisted, i was drafted " :)

- My husband recently graduated from bootcamp and he was home for 10 days. We had the best ten days ever. He left to North Carolina for MCT and then from there he goes to his MOS school in Missouri. I miss him so much already, but I know that he is okay and that we will be together again soon. We have a 16 month year old daughter and I am glad to have her she is the reason I have the strength to get up in the morning because I miss my husband so much. To all the Marine wives stay strong and never let people say to you why you are still in a relationship that you are basically alone. Trust me you are not alone our husbands are with us in our hearts and we need to be strong for them while they are gone because that gives them strengh as well. So stay strong...Oorah!

- Me n my husband got marries on his 10 day boot leave, ive probably seen him 3 weeks this year, i miss him so much and he's about to be done with his training in texas, He's going to be stationed in Camp Pendleton in California and im glad his training is over but it is going to be like another month or two before i can live with him so he is going to live in the dorms until a house opens up in base housing for us to live together. But i get to talk to him everyday and thats more than some wives get being married to a marine, it wont be much longer....

- Yes I am a marine wife! And I am very brave. I just found out I am pregnant right before my husband left for a deployment! He could be gone two to seven months. He is going to miss everything that has to do with the baby. But I am strong and I can do it alone. That is what a marine wife has to do!

- We have been married for 4yrs this is his second deployment, being appart from each other and answering questions from your kids where is daddy? and when he is coming back i think is one of the saddest things we have to deal with. We just got out of recuting and now he is leaving again, it is hard been a marine wife but i wouldn't change it for nothing because god made me strong to be next to my marine and overcome anything together eventho we are apart our love is strong. He is an awasome person, lover, daddy, friend, son and brother, I'm very proud to be his wife but beyond that I'm a proud marine wife.

- I'm 18 and married to my Marine after 3 years of dating. We skipped an engagement and got married on his 10 day boot leave. Although my husband has not deployed yet, my biggest challenge so far is that I will soon be picking up and leaving my life behind for one man; the man I want to spend the rest of my life with. Only a few more weeks until I can wake up to my darling husband's face each and every morning.
