yasmine- lyndsi's man is in FL, and she is now too!!!! I'm sure she can help you too
missmyhero- i understand! id be very upset with that!!! youd think hed have more ambition than video games after the military
Thanks Nicole. My boyfriend has been in for almost a year now. He started to develop the attitude around April or May. He's gotten a little better, but I want it to continue improving! lol We have a friend who was in the army for a while and he got out quite some time ago, yet he treats his girlfriend and her family like shit. He's practically living at her house, and sits on his ass playing videogames all day. Might I mention he's yelled at her mom? I do NOT want my boy turning into a monster like that!!! lol
Yasmine, my boyfriend was in Pensacola back in Jan/Feb. Do you have any questions?
Welcome MISSMYHERO! Glad to have you here. There is TONNSSS of info all around this site. A bunch of discussions above, some describing about us personally here, some with info on housing and moving to certain places, things to do with your sailor etc. You can page back on stuff and see if there's info there, i'm sure there is. Attitude is something that more often than not changes in some way. My boyfriend had the "I'm a hot shot attitude, I can do whatever I please!" Well, it didn't get him far, because I have a very contrasting personality. He realized after trying to have that attitude that it wouldn't go well to have it around me. Depending on how far along your S.O is in his career can make the difference. Who he hangs around, weather he's fresh out of boot or already at a duty station etc. Anyone else have any input on either of her questions?
Also- this is a very open group, feel free to ask anything, or if you need a bunch of answers, post a discussion and let us know down here you need input in your forum. :D
They give the recruits their orders about 2 weeks before graduation, so next time you talk to him ask him what his orders are :)
