When a Girl LOVES a military man...
1.) If she wasn’t emotional before, that is all about to change.
2.) You getting a higher rank could just mean an automatic free lay.
3.) Get her a pair of dog tags, ASAP, This is crucial, she will never take them off.
4.) Most of the time, you losing reception during training is your fault. (Though, she will eventually understand)
5.) Most of the time, everything is your fault. (This especially goes for when she is pregnant)
6.) She WILL start talking like your guys and you talk, including using your last names.
7.) Her patriotism could out-do most of your men... she will be proud... VERY proud.
8.) Be Ready: your car will end up with a yellow ribbon magnet or an "I LOVE MY _____" sticker eventually. (if you have seperate cars, hers will DEFINITLY have these)
9.) She will most likely need a pair of dog tags to hang from the car’s rear view mirror. (see 3)
10.) Every week she’ll have "another song" that makes her think of you when you’re away. (And she’ll cry to it, even when you’re in the same room)
11.) If youre married, she may know the base better than you do... Don’t take it personal.
12.) You will catch her comparing your relationship with "other couples" in the military constantly.
13.) She’ll make 5 million friends online, and talk to you about them all the time because her "old friends just don’t understand" like they do.
14.) Don’t be shocked when she just drops civilian chicks out of her life like flies. (she mostly does this when they complain to her)
15.) DO NOT if you love her, say anything about you not wanting to make her wait for you... (TRUST me men, YOU ARE WORTH every breath to these women, or they wouldn’t be here)
16.) Most women actually do LOVE it when you are sweaty and dirty, even the girlie girls. it’s sexy as hell.
17.) Only bring up the field once, say it clear, and don’t bring it up again. We will remember the time, the dates, like stone inside our mind. Don’t remind us.
18.) You ARE our hero. That isn’t us being cute, it’s us swelling with pride, feeling like a princess everytime we glance over and you’re standing there.
19.) Don’t worry about waking her up when you get a chance to call, trust me, she’s NOT sleeping. If she is, she’s been waiting for you to call all night, and fell asleep next to the phone.
20.) Leave at least 3 of your shirts for her... she’ll wear them all the time and if she doesn’t wear them out she WILL wear them to sleep.
21.) No matter what she was like before, she is tough & harder than a rock now. She can handle anything, she will get through it, tears or no tears.
22.) Don’t be discouraged or taken back from her strength. It comes with the territory. When in your arms, she’s still your queen, soft and sweet.
23.) Your kids might see mommy as the one in charge for a while, it’s okay, they WILL respect you, just give it time.
24.) EVERYTHING in her life will be complicated, so she might not always get the simple things you say to her.
25.) Tag Chasers are her WORST enemy, she CAN and WILL spot these girls... random profain comments may come out of your little queens’ mouth... its okay, shes protecting her best asset...you.
26.) She will spend hours to look good on cam & pics for you, this is just a pasttime until you get home, be prepared for messy ponytails and comfy pants when you finally do get home.
27.) Her favorite sentences from you start with "when i get home" or "when i get out".
Lastly guys,
28.) No matter how much she’s changed, never forget that you mean the world to her, she loves you more than anything, and you will ALWAYS be her hero..whether you think you are one or not.

Some of those are true, or at least partly true, some of them Tony and I have modified.
I don't wear his dog tags cause he rarely wears them, he attaches them to a belt loop. Instead, he got a St Christophers medallion before his last tour, I got a matching one for christmas.
I don't have a I love my bumber magnet, instead I'm custom ordering the stryker in my signature, plus I have a large sticker that says Infantry Wives that I need to put on the window.
I've taken to wearing his shirts and sleep shirts. lol

i emailed this to my boyfriend while he was deployed, back before we were dating. the whole dog tags things came up but i told him that i wasn't asking for them then because of the fact we weren't dating yet. he's working on the shirt thing, since i told him i'd wear it if i had one of his shirts. i'd still like a set of his dog tags since i would wear them, but that can wait. i do stay up late just in case he sends me an email.

I stay up late and go to bed early, so I can be awake when he calls, I work hours when he sleeps, so I can be here when hes online.
I'm weird about dog tags, I think that if I have a set, I jinx them some how.

Mine has trouble calling cause the international calling cards cost too much. So I bought him one last night, but he doesn't have the info for it right now.
I really hope he calls tonight

last time he called me, borrowed a friends phone. he said he missed hearing my voice. as much as i wish he would call, i know he can't right now but i'm grateful for every email he sends me because i know at least that when he sends me one i know hes still ok.

Is he deployed? Or on the boat deployed. I guess they can actually have phones, I had forgotten that, I wish Tony could.
They can't get cell phones in Iraq, they aren't allowed.

his ship returned from deployment back in july. but they're out helping with the storm for the next two months. he had a phone when he was deployed too and he did call once or twice early on but then his phone card ran out. he uses a computer as part of his job so it wasn't too bad, he emailed me multiple times a week. now that hes returned from deployment he emails me at least a few times a day.

Lucky duck.
Tony has to stand in line for about an hour to get to a phone or a computer.

its part of his job, but he also has his own labtop which he uses sometimes. his old one was in very bad shape, so he finally got a new one while he was deployed. well he doesn't write letters, so emails are pretty much it. but i still send him letters, in fact the last one i wrote him he should hopefully be getting soon.
