Marine Girlfriends Community Group

As Marine girlfriends, we know how hard it can be to face boot camp, training, and deployments. We face many lonely nights, and we know how to be strong on the outside when we are crying on the inside. We have unconditional pride for our men in uniform, and we are always faithful. Semper Fi! This group is for us to find support from others facing the same challenges....

Hi everyone! I`m Katherine and 3 days ago, my boyfriend left for Marine bootcamp on Parris Island. He is in Fox Company, but I don`t know his platoon number yet. If anyone thinks they might have a boyfriend, fiance, husband, or a loved one in his unit, PLEASE DON`T HESITATE TO REACH OUT TO ME! My boyfriend and I have been together for 3 years, since I was a sophomore in high school. This has always been his plan and I have always supported him on it, but I did not know it would be THIS hard when he left. I just feel lost. I feel like a part of me is missing and I know that sounds cliche but it`s SO true. Every time my phone buzzes, I jump even though I know it can`t be him.My brain is so conditioned to hearing my phone and thinking it`s him. He has been my best friend since I was 15. I`m currently a freshman at florida state university, which makes it even harder because I don`t have my family here to lean on. I have been trying to keep busy to help take my mind off of things. I`ve been throwing myself into my classes and going to the gym with my friends every day, but he`s constantly on my mind no matter what I`m doing, and I still cry a lot. I know as time goes on and I start getting letters, things will get better, but right now I just feel alone in this. I was so happy when I found this group because i don`t know anyone else who`s in my situation. I feel like it would really help to talk to another military partner and I want to try my best to help girls who are feeling like I am feeling. So please feel free to reach out to me at any time if you connect at all with my story. I would love to talk to you. I`m also worried because Hurricane Florence still looks like it`s going to hit South Carolina, and I want my boyfriend to be safe. Also I know It`s going to take longer for letters to get back and forth with this weather. Thank you for reading and as I said, please feel free to reach out to me. We`re all in this together.

Hey Katherine! My boyfriend left on September 10th for boot camp at Paris island. He is also in fox company! He is in platoon 2096. I have no idea if that helps you at all but I completely understand what you're going through. I am here if you ever need to talk!

Hey girl! My boyfriend just left a week ago and I totally feel you! I did not think it would be this hard. I'm so used to having him around and my phone going off and it being him, but it's not and he's gone. I am also at college so It's rough, but classes and social life keep me busy. If you ever want to talk I'm here girl. You got this!! We're all in this together :)

I’m Alexis and my boyfriend is also down at Parris Island. They aren’t the same company and my boyfriend arrived a week later than yours. Reading your post made me tear up because my boyfriend and I have also been dating for 3 years (since sophomore year of high school.) I totally understand where you’re coming from and feel so alone. I love my family but sometimes they get to be too much. Especially because they don’t understand what this is like. We should totally talk more since we already have so much in common, relationship wise. Stay strong girl, we’ve got this!! :)
