People who have beeen in military

Question

i need help im join next year wen i turn 18 but i havnt told my gf yet ive been dating her 2years wat do i do i dont want her 2 get the wrong idea

Answer 1

Wrong idea about what?  If you are afraid of your girl friend the US Military doesn't want you. Also you may want to stay in school and learn reading and writing.

Answer 2

just the truth, why you want to join, what you want to do, I mean there are alot of benefits to military life, health insurance, education, and when you get out civilian jobs love military persons. Tell her you dont want to leave her but its what you really want to do, etc... just stick with the truth, maybe even take her with you down to the recruiters station.

Answer 3

wrong idea..? what idea is wrong about joining? If shes a liberal then you best drop her like a bag for potatos. you best get to tellin her though so shes atleast prepared for it. what is "the wrong idea"?

EDIT: please do yourself a favor, dont join because of the benifits. yes they are good, but there is ALOT more to the military then that. some benifits you cant even use until you get out or are more benificial if you use them when your out. like the GI Bill. use it when you get out, youll get more out of it.

Answer 4

I don't know if you are worried about her leaving you or not.  If so the best advice someone gave me was this.

"If you are worried about her leaving or cheating just because you joined the military then she will probably leave or cheat anyway so don't make a decision based on that."

But let her know that you are 18, responsible and all the benefits that come with the decision to join.  As responsible man you are just making the decision thats best for your future.  If she really cares about you she will understand and support you whether she likes the idea of the military or not.

Also while the benefits are second to none please don't ever be confused to why you are there.  With the regular deployments, wartime deployments, training, and busy work schedule you may not be able to take advantage benefits like you planned.

Answer 5

she will cheat on you with "johnny"

funny thing is I never thought my gf could do such a thing while I was away.........and she banged a "john" where I used to work,

Dump her man or your going to get hurt

Answer 6

What is the wrong idea?  You are joining the military to better yourself correct?  If you truly believe in what you two have with each other, you should have enough respect for her and tell her.  The more you wait, the harder it's going to be.  She should love you enough to understand and stand by your side.
