| Would u date at guy or marry guy who is in the military?
Posted: 10/17/2005 8:44:25 PM | I would in a heart beat, if I was to find someone in the military I would. Them being overseas is just part of there job and I would be proud of them if there where here in the states or fighting for our country.
Oh by the way did I mention I come from a long line of military men in my family?
They are the best men I know.  | |

There is a lot of playing around that goes on during hardship tours. I've also seen a lot of very dedicated husbands and boyfriends turn down female GI's or the local hookers. | |

Posted: 10/21/2005 4:28:38 AM | Hi..I would just like to add to this..
I too am a military "babe". My dad was in the forces for 15 years, i was born in Hong Kong and we travelled extensively. I then followed in my mums footsteps and married a soldier, we were together for 8 years in total, and we have not long split up. I think you need to be a special kind of person to accept being an army wife or girlfriend, it's not just all about getting a free house..!! They have a lifestyle that has been accumulating for years before they met you, some are heavy drinkers as they have nothing else to do with their money and they party hard. You need to be prepared for them to be away for about 6 months out of every year overseas or training and be subject to gossip, everyone loves to know your business..!! My experience was overall a very good one, some people land with violent and abusive ones..we had many on the estate where we lived. The money is poor for what they do, their lives do not seem to be worth much to the Government, and if they leave, they tend to swap that uniform for another and so you still rarely see them. I think one of the main reasons we split was because we were so used to being apart that when he got out and we "lived together" it was just madness and we clashed..which is the saddest thing of all. He was never unfaithful to me, and i thank him for that.
If you can put up with all of the above, then you go ahead, there are some great times ( especially when they come home from being away for 8 weeks !! )
Saying all of that...i still find a uniform an attractive thing, and can't help myself, it's very addictive..!! | |

It normally takes them two or three more failed relationships to see that they were wrong. In UK we have a bit of bad press, so we all get judged on that. But, thankfully, there are still girls out there who go for the "wow! uniform!" thing!!!  | |

Our poor rep over here stems from the Navy's "Girl in Every Port" philosophy. It seems to have spread to the British Army because we like going out to unwind, and girls think that we are all out to get laid. NOT TRUE!!! Just some of us.....  | |

Posted: 10/24/2005 2:01:55 AM | | /\/\/\/\/\ There is also a thing with civvie guys that i have experienced, having lived in Windsor for a few years. For some reason they seem to get threatened by "squaddies" and it's like a macho thing to pick on a squaddie and try and kick his head in..unfortunately they always forget that the squaddie has a bigger gang than the civvie guy and that's when the problems start, and it always works out that it's the squaddies that cop the flack for that. On my part 90% of the squaddies i knew were great guys and knew how to treat a lady. They get such a bad rap and it's undeserved. | |

What is a Squaddie?
Between the security of childhood and the senility of old age is found that fascinating group of humanity called " Squaddies"
A Squaddie can be found anywhere... in love, in bars, in trouble and always in debt.
Girls love them, Towns tolerate them, Hotels hide them, and Governments support them.
A Squaddie is:-- Laziness with a pack of cards, Bravery with a tattoo, Ruggedness in uniform and Defender of the world with a copy of Playboy.
He has the brains of a bear, The energy of a sea turtle, the slyness of a fox, the stories of a sea captain, the sincerity of a liar, the aspirations of a Casanova, and a desire for people to be free.
His interest's are:-- Girls, Females, Women and any "other" members of the opposite sex.
He likes:-- Beer, Booze Plonk and ale, leave passes and an " Excused all duties" chit.
He spends his money on:-- Girls, beer, cards -and any that he has left he likes to spend foolishly
No one else could cram into one pocket: Food for 24 hours, A packet of crushed cigarettes, A box of matches, A picture of his girl, Receipts for lost equipment, A deck of cards and an old leave pass
That is a SQUADDIE!

Posted: 10/24/2005 5:38:54 PM | Well.....how i see it is if you marry someone in the military, then there has to be trust from both sides, and YES!!!!! I would marry a man in the military. I have a close friend in the Navy now, been knowing him 3 years, and we are as close as ever, hes been away the whole time we've known each other.   | |

Hey daftsquaddie I served in the TA as a medic and I know what army guys are like... you are a single guy so that's no problem (unless your cheating on your girl).. sometimes desperate times calls for desperate measures | |

Posted: 11/1/2005 1:01:43 PM | | @ smile with your eyes....You took the words right out of my mouth...especially when you said...."and no amount of tree hugging shit is gonna make me think that my brother died for NO REASON." I'm saying that all the time when people try to make me feel like my husband died for no reason. Our men were doing what they felt was right, regardless of the opinions of others...we need more men with that kind of integrity!! I've been spending the last 30+ years, making sure my late husband (and the rest of them) are remembered with the HONOR they deserve, and I won't quit until the day I die!!! | |
