So my girlfriend won't let me join the Marines, saying "she doesn't want the military as any part of her life"
It's been my life long dream to join the Marines.
What should I do?
-
She's a girl friend not your wife. Join the Marines and you'll have lots of girl friends overseas. It's your life do what makes you happy. She won't always be there and there's plenty of women who will want you to do what makes you happy.
-
Never let anyone else influence who you want to be.

If u join the marines you'll have bitches on you like Asian hookers on an average dick

4 RepliesYou'll get stuck in a island and then you find a ball and name it Wilson. After a while the military ship finds you and when you get home, you see your gf/wife is married to another dude.

Edited by los2525: 1/5/2015 6:46:33 AMHigh school bunny love didn't stop me. You join the military for one of three reasons: 1. You genuinely want to serve your country and see it as an honorable thing to do. For some, it is a family affair, as was the case for me. Granddad was in the Air Force and my dad was a Marine in Vietnam. These people make careers out of it. 2. You have nothing else to do and nowhere else to go, so you figure "why not?" 3. G.I. Bill. You are doing it for your future and free money for school is your way of achieving that goal. The military may not be your future but it may open the doors a little easier for what you truly want to do. In the end, YOU have to be the one to make the decision because YOU are going to be the one getting your ass kicked in boot camp, not anyone else. Grow some balls and make a decision already and don't let a vagina be your deciding factor. You may live to regret it because she may not be permanent anyway. If she loves you, REALLY loves you, she will support you in whatever endeavor of your choosing and she will stick it out with you. Man up.

3 RepliesThe Marines will turn you into a barrel chested, death dealing, freedom spouting, sex tornado. So leave her.

Join and dump her ass

If she really loved you, she wouldn't tell you to abandon your dreams. Ask her what her dream is, then tell her you'll leave her if she goes through with it.

1 ReplyLeave her, join the marines, profit.

1 ReplyWell if you do enlist, you're going to have to dump her anyways because Jody Boy is gonna have his piece.

4 RepliesIf you need to ask people on a Destiny forum, then you probably shouldn't be considering it regardless if it's been your dream. I say no on the sole purpose that if it's truly something you want, you wouldn't question yourself. Most military relationships are broken and scarred. This doesn't mean that it can't work, but I'd she's the one I'd try and keep her. You live your life according to what you want. Don't second guess yourself.

There's always going to be shit going on in the world. No one's opinion matters, not even your recruiters. Do some digging and try and reach out to some active duty Marines to get your questions answered. No one but Marines will be able to give you advice because all civilians here is the bs that the media portrays and also bs stories that their buddies tell them lol...

21 RepliesEdited by SilentRival: 1/5/2015 5:42:19 AMAs a Marine myself...I served 8 years. Over that time I had multiple girlfriends, countless one night stands, and within the last years of service and now a happy marriage. Girls come and go. If she isn't willing to respect your life choices, should you really keep her around? The Marine Corps has taken my sorry ass all over this earth from training to combat. Nearly all of my lifelong friends I met in the Corps. The job I have now earns me six figures annually and I'm only here because of another Marine buddy. I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. Only reason I got out was to focus on starting a family. Things to mention; 1. -blam!- Pogs 2. Hard work pays 3. If you ever make it to become a CSO, pray to God you never meet Colonel Milborn. The guy is an aminal. That is all.

1 ReplyDump her, she'll cheat on you once you're in anyways. You'll never have a closer group of brothers than your fellow Marines.

Edited by Fallout: 1/5/2015 6:27:42 AM-blam!- her then, go be a Marine and serve our country, if she doesn't want military being a part of her life then too bad, I am enlisting into the Marines in June, and I'll be shipped to Boot Camp in June or August of 2016, Oorah if you go brother.

When I met my husband he always told me about his dream job, when we were dating, and was working his butt off to get it. When the opportunity came that he could get his dream job he felt guilty as he had a very well payed job. As much as I knew we would take a significant pay decree I also knew that I couldn't be selfish and trample on his dream when he told me outright when we first met. That is what a relationship is about. Caring and accepting the person you love and that means not trampling on their dreams. I say go for it. Do you really want to be in a relationship with someone this selfish? Or would you prefer to find someone that is willing to compromise and accept you for who you are.

If it's your life long dream then do it. I'm an Active Duty Marines myself and have been so for 3 1/2 years. Private message me if you have any questions. Women come and go, but the pride of being a Marine will last you a life time.

It's your life you should do what you want and what makes you happy... if she doesn't support you then she shouldn't be your girlfriend lol

[quote]So my girlfriend won't let me join the Marines, saying "she doesn't want the military as any part of her life" It's been my life long dream to join the Marines. What should I do?[/quote] That depends, what do you value more? Will joining the Marines really make you happy? Why? Talk to your GF about alternatives if Marines is a "no go": Police, Sheriff, Probation Officer, Forestry Service, Fish & Wildlife, etc. Honestly, what's the most important thing in your life right now - if it isn't your GF, why isn't it your GF? Something to think about.

And a word of advice "What you want isn't always what you need"
