Somehow it showed back up to my inbox while I'm going through my mail.
"You Know Your A Military
Girlfriend"
When You don't mind a phone call
waking you up at 4 a.m.
You tell people that ask that
he's 'only' been gone a month.
The smallest contact (text msg) from your man makes
your entire week!
You cry over an email that
says nothing more than hi and I miss you.
Those recruitment
commercials on TV make you cry because you are so proud!
You get super excited just
knowing that your Soldier
tried to call but wasn't able to get through.
Your first Military Ball you go to as your Soldier's girlfriend, your name tag says "Mrs".
Is that a self fulfilling
prophecy or what?!?
A 30 second phone call after
no calls from him for 3.5
months leaves you full of joy and happiness, and "No news is good news" becomes your motto.
The motto "no shore too
distant " becomes your life.
You feel yourself growning
more and more in love with
your man even while he's so
far away.
Planning letters and care
packages and putting them in the mail is more exciting than going out for a night on the town with the girls.
You hold off on seeing certain movies so you can see them with your Soldier when he comes home.
You want to roll your eyes
when you hear someone say,
"I havent seen my boyfriend
in a week!"
You can go from being happy, to sad, to lonely, to angry, to proud, and back to happy in a matter of less than an hour, and you sleep with the phone right next to you, just in case.
If he's deployed you don't
care how your hair looks nor
care about wearing make-up, and the people at your work ask about your boyfriend every day to see if you've heard from him.
The sight of any other man in a uniform makes you miss
your boyfriend MORE..
