Profile Information

About me:






I am a military girlfriend. I hold no formal recognition with the powers that be. I am at the bottom of the chain. I hold no Military ID card, I am not a “dependent” or a parent. The man I love may face unspeakable dangers, and I am at the mercy of those who possess this recognition for news. I understand this and accept this.

I am a military girlfriend. I have promised to be here for him upon his return, no matter how long he is away. People may say I am insane for making such a commitment with no guarantees, but I hold onto our promises and have faith that he will come home safe to me. I know full well that my love for him fuels him in the worst of times.

I am a military girlfriend, there is no ring on my finger to symbolize our commitment, though I love him no less for it. I hope every day that he will be able call because a simple 30-second phone call can bring the greatest spectrum of emotions…smiling with tears in my eyes from so much joy and pain. My relationship is based on a brief communication where “I love you and I’m okay” speaks more than volumes and gives me the strength to keep going.

I am a military girlfriend. I take no moment spent together for granted. I hold onto every touch, caress, kiss, every word. I have memorized the feel of his skin, his smell, the sound of his voice, and I play it over and over in my mind so that I will not forget. I cry myself to sleep some nights because missing him hurts so badly, but wake up the next morning, brush myself off, and start a new day.

I am a military girlfriend. The events of the next several months hold my life, my love, and my future in the balance. When you watch the news reports, you may turn away and go about your business relatively unaffected. When I watch news stories of the war I do not see nameless soldiers a half a world away. I see individuals who will be forever changed by war. News of every casualty causes me physical pain and deep sadness.

I am a military girlfriend, not a spouse or family member. When you say your prayers for the wives, mothers, and fathers, please don’t forget about me.
I am here to support or represent my:
Spouse/Significant other
Stage of (Sailor’s) Navy Career?
Enlisted
When I heard “Navy,” I:
Was concerned or afraid
Through this Navy experience, I now believe:
It was positive and maturing. Our relationship has grown stronger.

My Sailor, My Love, My Hero, Brandon Allen. (Speech for school, thought I post it, I wasn't too focused on grammar, forgive my mistakes!)

The person I admire most is strong, both mentally and physically. He has the ability to recognize his problems, and the courage to fix them. Who is this person, you may be wondering? He is my hero, and boyfriend Brandon Allen R*. At first I saw Brandon as a guy who I loved. I didn't think he'd change my life, or inspire me like he has and continues to do.
Brandon lived in a small town. He didn't go to college, and had a pretty lousy job as a pizza delivery boy. He partied a good bit. His whole l… Continue

I got an email from matt yesterday. he says he cant wait to get to land where he can take pictures. i promised to make him a photo album with the pictures he takes for memories. 7 more days and im getting so excited. we got together about 6 months before he left for bootcamp so we didnt have much time together. I cant wait to see him though. Only about 4 more weeks,!

I emailed Matt yesterday telling him HEY WE ONLY GOT 9 days! lol. And he said.." I know. Im the one that told YOU that." lol. It was funny. He'll surprise me some how im sure. He always does. Last year on my birthday, he was in boot camp. He arranged for me to have flowers sent to my work. I asked who the flowers were from when I got them and they said to look and see. And when I did...I cried. He had called the flourist 2 months before my bday. I was so happy to know that he was thinking about me. So I know he will do it this time. But thats sad to hear that you have the flu. Iv been trying my hardest to not get it and so far iv been lucky lol.

Ha my birthday is May 30 lol. How cool. lol. Yesterday was the last time I talked to matt. Ill admit...this whole navy thing is starting to get to me. Im really depressed and upset and mad all the time. I need him. I got an email from him today saying how much he loved and missed me. It made me cry like a baby. Our 1 year anniversary is Nov 17 and he wont be here. I know he'll make arrangements to get my roses though lol. He did it on my birthday last year when he was in BC.

I will see Matt in December. And I talked to him yesterday and he was with a few boys at the mall. Im scared that when they leave port...I wont talk to him til he gets back to VA. I miss him.Last night we talked about it. And I told him I was scared for us. He said "I love you..just remember that." And I told him that I was living my life day to day not knowing what will happen tomorrow. But congradulations on the getting married idea lol. I wish I could get married when I graduate but we both decided that we will wait til he gets out. And when he gets out ill be through with college.

Yeah, I know what you mean. Yesterday was rough for me. And its not just that hes gone now..but that he will be gone for 7 months next time. I dont want to go that long without seeing him. I wish there was some way to IM with webcam with him. But i know they probably dont allow it. As long as I have his voice..it will be fine. But again...its going to be worse than bootcamp. I will be in college when he starts that deployment though so i will be busy. And this summer...and spring break..I plan on driving up to Virginia to see what its like up there. I turn 18 on May 30 and get out of school on June 4th. SO that will be my birthday wish.
