Okay... you've got a lot of good advice there. But let me tell you what the hardest thing to deal with when deployed and you send all your letters and good things from home. Believe it or not, open ended letters. Those are the letters that say everything is great, and I got hurt. Everyone is fine, and Johnny's arm is doing better. Everything is wonderful, the electricity will be back on tomorrow. It may sound silly, but when away from home for an extended period of time, even the smallest thing on your end seems like a crisis on the other. So please take my advice, when you write about what's going on, both good and bad (we do want to know everything when deployed) make sure that he knows, that you've explained well, that all is okay. And please don't send him anything that will melt in the heat. All the best to both of you.

Feeling trapped is a common reason for re-enlistment. But that's also pretty much a commitment to be a lifer. You've got a family to support.  Is his carreer going well?  If he's got something that will hold him back (NJP's, weight/physical problems) from picking up Staff with in the 12 year time frame, do you want to invest that much time in the military only to be denied reinlistment down the road?  Does he have job skills that can help him in the civilian world?  It's not as scary as it seems, but when you are used to guaranteed pay and health benefits it's intimidating.  This is something you two need to decide for yourselves, since you know your situation better than any of us.  But don't be afraid of change, if you decide to get out.  And if you stay in, just make sure your career is on the right track and you'll keep moving up.

Translation...Need someone to talk to?  Do you need someone to talk you out of doing crimes, or talk you out of killing yourself, or someone else, or you need advice, or relationship help, or if there something else you want or need help with or anything. Add my email address (***).  Well I know this is weird and you might think of me as some rapist or kidnapper or anything else I'm not. To tell you the truth I'm only 16 and I have talked more than 37 people out of killing themselves in just 1 month but I have been doing this 4 almost a year believe it or not and well I know I am a stranger and you might not believe me but give it a chance you I know your thinking 1 chance might cost your life or someone elses but believe me and give me a chance and if I am one of those poeple like a kidnapper then why would I give out my information like I'm 16 or my email address and I know it can be fake but its not well I got to go so talk to you soon and remember I'm here to help you not to "dishelp".  \n\nIt was just too exhausting to correct any grammatical or punctuation errors...so I interpreted it as well as I could.  I hope this helps everyone.  And for portugese_person...you sound like you really care about others.  Kudos for you!!!

I'm a Marine who fought in Iraq.  I'm out now, but you could say I'm lonely in a much different way.  After returning to civilian life, few people understand life in the military, let alone a war.  They don't know what it's like to be shot at, to be the hunter, to be the prey.  It's hard to relate to people sometimes.  But, best to our troops that are fighting the fight now, and for their fight to come.

Hey sis, if you need to talk, I"m here for you. I married a brother who had been married to a sister who cheated on him. If you want to talk to him about it or ask him questions about it, I don't have a problem . Drop me a line, eh? I can understand how hard it is on the 'survivor' , It has been almost 7 years since we got married and there are still trust issues. But I know that eventually he will heal and  I am patiently waiting for that time. Meanwhile, we have a great marriage. Yeah, drop me a line and let's talk.\n( Bap'd 3-10-1990)

Navy mom here. First----((((BIG HUG))). Next, you need to learn the Navy Mom mantra. Probably applies to all military moms--No news, is good news!. Unfortunatley, it's true. \n\nHe should have, but is not guaranteed, been able to call you the night he arrived at RTC (Recruit Training Command). There are a variety of reasons he might not have been able to, so don't worry. And I know, it's hard not to do. Since you haven't heard from him, you can call (847) 688-2405 and give them his full name and social security number. They won't be able to let you talk to him or get a message to him, but they will tell you he's arrived and what Division he's in. Once you have his Division number is, you can then got to the website I've posted under sources below and get his mailing address. \n\nYou'll probably get your first "real" phone call about week 3. But again, there are MANY variables to this including who his RDC's (Recruit Division Commander aka Drill Instructor) are. Your son may be doing quite well, but if someone else is messing up, they may all lose phone privileges. I know. It's not fair. But...\n\nBe sure to check out the other information they have at the website, including Pass in Review (Graduation). You will be able to watch for the date of his PIR on the website too. If there is ANY way you can go, then go. I promise it will be one of most moving experiences of your life. Start making plans now to attend.\n\nI can NOT stress this enough. Start writing him ASAP. Send as often as you possibly can. It's doesn't matter the length. A few lines on the back of a napkin is like gold to them. But don't try to send him any type of care package. It won't be allowed.\n\nShortly, you should start receiving a few things. One will be a "form" type letter from him with his address. But you can beat the letter if you call for the Division number. You should also receive "the box" any day now. The Navy is the only branch that does this and it can be heartbreaking. It will contain every stitch of clothing he was wearing and anything else he took with him. I sat down in the middle of the floor and cried like a baby when our son's came. Then again, he will be given the option to donate his clothes to charity so if the box doesn't come, don't let it worry you.\n\nYou may also want to check out navymomsonline.com. They are a SUPER group and will give you all kinds of support and information. \n\nAgain, I can't stress enough to write, write, write. And when you don't get much back, try to remember that they are only allowed to write on Sundays. \n\nTake care of yourself and try to remember that your son has given you a very special gift. He made you a Navy Mom. You may not understand it just yet, but the day will come when this new honor will touch you to the center of your soul and make you weep with pride.\n\nNavy Hugs.

Ok i'm going to be open and honest to you, i'm in a boot camp right now in texas. I was born and raised in indiana right by Cincinnatti, Ohio. The reason i'm in a boot camp, (actually it is called an academy) is in 2004 my father kicked me out of the house and my mom called me in as a run away. my parents are still married. so after i was found i was sent to a group home, because there was signs and well i told on my dad for abusing me. the group home wasn't found appropriate for me because i had emotional damage, severe depression, signs of bi polar, and all this drama, so they sent me to northern indana to a treatment facility. after a year there and no improvement i was supposed to be placed in a foster home. I was scared. I screwed up my family, i felt i could not do anything. the treatment center was not helping me at all and lying to me. I made the mistake of running away from the treatment facilty and was paced in two different detention centers then finally sent down here. This is the best place for me. I wouldn't of learned anything if i went into foster care. maybe for some kids its right, but during my time in placement i know a lot of kids hate it and have been abused in it. maybe this has helped you or confused you more sorry if it had \nif you want to ask me any questions you can e-mail me at ndtschaenn@swtjc.net

I was a female in the navy for 4 yrs. I learn a lot and had great fun doing it. The freinds you make in there last forever and it is a different kinda friends too. More special I would say. I got out in 96 and still talk to a few of my closer friends. As far as jobs no it didnt help me in a way, the job I had was an operational specialist. radar, navagation, and that kinda stuff near the bridge of the ship ( top ) If I had it to do over again I would make sure that the job I got was one that would trasfer to a civilian job. Which mine didnt. But having been in the Navy looks great on resumes.I will never regret my choice to join. What an andverture. traveling was the best. Singapore, Guam, Hawii,Hong Kong, Germany, Persian Gulf, Dubai let alone the states. I would strongly recommend if to a female for sure, specially if you have no outlook for college or anything like that. Cause I didnt even want to think of college.. So I hope you choose what is good for you and have fun doing whatever it is that the future stores. Best of luck to you

I will give you an eyewitness statement. First, I'm not from Texas (I'm a Tar Heel!!! - GO NC!!), second I'm not in the National Guard, I'm active duty. Now the account, I served with an active duty battalion that was assigned 2 National Guard companies - one was from Kansas and one was from Texas. They were truck companies, and both saw heavy action. On a side note, I found both units to be extremely professional in their duties. Neither shirked from any mission assigned to them and had an amazing "Can Do" attitude. If I had any negative comments about the Guard units I have served with - they are minor. I found they had a bit of a height/weight and PT shortcoming, but they more than made up for that with their Mission First attitude. My BC had a board in his office/tent with a collection of all the Guard patches of units we had run into over there. I don't recall a single state missing from his board - we even had a couple territory patches (Guam and PR). So whoever posted that on a Yahoo Board is simply giving into conspiracy BS and once again, as they almost always seem to be - are yapping away and have NEVER spent a day. Isn't it curious how the folks who seem to to come up with this crap have a mysterious lack of service to go along with their tripe?

CoCo, I do feel the same way as you and I can understand your frustration. It is hard to tell sometimes who is honest out here in "cyberspace" but just give it some time and hopefully you will find some truthful people here too. Hang in there, okay!

What branch did you join. I am in the NAVY DEP right now. I have heard stories. I don't know if they are true or not?
