Rainbow Military Community Group
This is a support group for homosexuals that are in the military and/or are in a relationship with someone who has just gone in the military. here we hope to help each other through advice and words of comfort, while discussing policies and politics on equality, as well as news updates on homosexuals being able to live on base and any changes in the "Don't ask ,...
Everyone in this group has a story...
...about how they met their significant other, why they and/or their partner joined the military, and the troubles that they face as a homosexual couple. So post it here~!!! I'll go ahead and start:
Tasmara and I met on a dating website called: OkCupid.com
She was bored one evening and found my name in her matches. When she saw that I was online, she decided to message me. To make a long story short, we started talking on the phone, then moved to webcam.
we talked for 8 hours that first day, and 5 hours on the second day.
On the second day, we decided to meet, and when finally we came face-to-face...we knew that fate must have brought us together because we were dating by that night.
That was January 16th of 2010.
when i met Tasmara, she was enlisted to go into the Air force, but she dropped out because they were telling her too many stories and not getting enough results. I had dated her on the basis that I would have to be ready for a long-distance-relationship if ever she left or got deployed, and agreed.
After she dropped out of the Air Force I thought that maybe she was over the military...but a year and a half later, she started looking into the Army, and she finally joined.
Taz left for Basic Training just yesterday, and by noon, she will be on her way from Indianapolis to South Carolina. Already I am feeling that void in my heart knowing that from now on I am to come home to an empty bed. So I created this group for other people suffering for the same reasons. I cannot live with my woman on base because homosexuals are not allowed. I cannot get army benefits even if we are married because I am a homosexual and it is not allowed...
Do you see where I'm going with this? So tell me your story, vent your frustration. Let me see what beauty you have discovered in someone of the same sex.

Taz and I broke up about 7-months ago.
It was an abusive relationship that I held onto for 4.5 years because I was afraid of being so lost again and alone. But one day, she kicked me off of base with nowhere to go while we were still in Germany (the trains were not working), and through all her affairs and lies, I realized it was time to live for me. I ended up dating another soldier whom I had been curious about for some time, she just did not know it (even though she was curious about me too).
This new soldier I am with I met through my last g/f. She was in Germany with us, and she came to my rescue after my ex kicked me off of the base in Germany with nowhere to go since the trains were on strike. Me and this new soldier were not exactly close, but we had built a bond the very few times we had seen each other. We had this strange connection neither one of us could explain, and thus, when I started staying with her, it was not long before the pieces all fell together and we realized that we were in love.
I left Germany in November but then sold my company stocks to fly back there to stay with my new girl until she went back home state side. We are spending the next 2 months apart before I move with her to her next base (since she lives off post), and we have been together for about 6-motnhs and are still going strong I would say :)
so all is well that ends well I suppose.
