Don't remind her of that now.....disgust That was so sad.

He is a bit safer... I suppose. Dunno.

Are you stupid? OF COURSE ITS BAD!!! DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE GET SHOT AND DIE IN CARBOMBINGS? just incase you didn't know... You can hit me if it makes you feel better but i had to tell you...so you wouldnt have to worry about him

yeah

Jesus, people. RELAX!

it's true

wait a sec....what happen in the green day video?!
and what about car bombings.....isnt the Navy on the ocean??????

::hits vathu:: im not sure i feel better yetsadwalk

Why the hell would you relax and be happy?

Your fiance just joined the Navy. We're in the middle of a friggin war.

As a wise man once said, "Do the math."

I seriously wouldn't be that worried. Oh wait.. are you american? oh you are.. oh crap never mind then

That sucks

isnt the navy the safest place in the war? i mean it cant be that bad right?
they have good family lives too dont they???

A very good friend of mine is in the Navy. He has assured me time and time again that, as they are not on the land in the middle of the war they are quite safer than other troops. Plus, it took him a long time to actually get trained up, so as your fiance just enlisted, he still has boot camp and school for whatever his field will be. So don't freak out. Hope that helped a little, despite these insensive boys' reactions.

Idiot.... Navy ==> Water



It isn't good, but think about the big fat paycheck and the intense welcome back and good bye sex.

^^^
A very good point also

But I wouldn't take any job that calls for long peroids away from home, too many "Dear John" letters invloved.

My friend is in a sub for 3 months at a time

so there are some jobs that allow for good family lives right????

that does make me feel better. thank you.
but what about how much i will see him?

Yes, Such as Head of departmants, managers, Presidents, And al your Dangerous Potentially Life Threatning jobs Such as Police officer, Prison guard, Guerrilla, Theif, And Millitary.

But the Navy is the safest palace for thoes... unelss you Live in 1945 and eh si stationed in pearl harbour or the Philipenes.

Why the hell did he join the Navy? Joining the Army is one of the stupidest decisions you can ever make.

He could be gone for up to 6 months or a year at a time. Whcih gives you much time to befriend the Milkman....

Which is why usually people with no familly join.

It depends on the field...like I said, my friend is in a submarine for months at a time, but he's happily married with a baby, so yes he has a good family life as well

see his rational is that the navy is safer. army you die....navy you float. i dunno, i dont agree but i love him so ill support him 110%

When you get married you can move to the base with him, then it won't be so hard. Even when he is away there are other military wives and from what I hear, they are very supportive of one another.

thats really good! that would be nice i think.

so the hardest will be the basic and all that then huh?

He'll die...no he wont he'll be shot in the leg so he can go home...

I didn't see my friend for like a year when he first enlisted. But his girlfriend (now wife) visited him a lot after the boot camp

what do you mean visited. could she live with him after boot camp?

and die!???!?? thanks!
shot in the leg so he can come home would be ok

Well there is a possibility that he'll die,i'm just confronting you with it!Like all the others should do...

After boot camp he went to Florida for his school...she visited him there. But she couldn't live with him until they got married. After you are married you can get housing wherever he is.

oh i know. but i have to admit it not what i want to think about right now. i appreciate the frankness but im nervous enough......im hoping to hear all the good.

It's really brave of him to join the Navy. And I'd be proud of him.

Otaku, be nice and stop scaring her. cant you see she is already upset and unsure about this. give her support not criticism or anything to make her feel even more upset.

Curious, I am sure everything will be okay . But I what think, is you and him need to make time and talk about this. Let him know you worry about him and love him, but support him in what he does. he maybe worried and nervous too. You guys are gonna need each others support. My friend is dating a guy who is a marine and he was training in FL the got shipped to CA ( I live in PA) she called him when she could and when he had off he would visit her here in PA, I believe he is over near Iraq now, but he isnt fighting on land. I also read in the seventeen mag awhile back how about a couple, the guy was stationed in Iraq and his girl was home in the USA, but they would write often. When he came home they still loved each as much as ever and ended up getting married. I believe everything will be okay, just put your trust and faith in the lord

Only problem I have with what you said is that is BS.

75% of all men in the military are in a relationship.

47% of all those men are killed in combat.

and 20% out of that 75% come home to find that their lover has moved on.

10% of that 75% come home and break it off withthere loved one.

The war has lasted to long. And men and women have to stay out there for a long time. And just when you think they're coming home 1 of 2 things happen.
1. They're killed

2. They end up having to stay longer

I never said anything related to that. If they truly love each other no one else will come between them. I am a religious person and I feel if they put there faith in god and its gods will her fiance (sp?) will be alright and be safe. Lets not get into numbers, this isn't statics class thank you.

i appreciate everyones help. i guess my biggest concern is being away from him...badic is gonna be rough and then when he gets shipped to sea. we are getting married before he is stationed so i can go too but basic is only a week away and i just found out about it. now i have to share the last week with his family and what not.
