I also have a girlfriend of a long time. The only thing that worries me is the staying faithful, you know? Another thing that bothers me is what if she didn't but I never found out about it. And I don't exactly know why that bothers me, but it does. If I did find out though, it'd be over in a second!

But its my decision ultimately and I have to do the things in my life that make sense to me and make me happy. I always have. Once we all realize that, I think our quality of life goes up and our means of independence makes us more confident. Just think about that when making your decisions. And that goes for any decision we make in life.

You guys are so worried about your girlfriends stepping out on you - what do you think YOU'RE gonna do when you get in the Corps? You'll have MORE temptation thrown at YOU than she will staying behind.
Look fellas, if your girls don't want to hang in there with you - DUMP 'EM! THEIR stuff is not the last piece you're gonna get and besides, if you go overseas, it's hard to say no to some little bar girl when all you have to do for it is buy her M&Ms, you know?

Marine84 is right, you guys have your whole lives ahead of you, chances are she ISN'T the one you're gonna marry. I know that if/when I get into the Corps I'll be ending it with my girlfriend the day I ship off to boot camp. She's an amazing girl, but I've wanted to be a Marine since I was about four years old, she's only been in my life for two years. So -- Marine Corps > Her. I know that I'll be stationed somewhere else other than here and I want to live my life to the fullest not be "held back" by a long distance relationship and I want to show her the same respect by allowing her to live her life and feel like she has to worry about me etc..
If it's meant to be it will happen, if not at least you know you lived your life the best you could.

You have to buy her more than M&Ms. In Okinawa it takes a $10 4oz. glass of orange juice, and then $100 for her bar fine. In South Korea its 10000 wan (about $50). In Thailand it really only takes M&Ms and about 400 baht (around $35). In the Phillipines its about 500 pesos ($32). Not that I would know or anything

Achped,
These guys are giving you bad scoop. Pay attention because i am giving you pearls here. Whatever you do dont break up with her until after your ten days of boot leave. You will regret it if you break up with her before that. After that it is over anyway. Dont have any serious talks about it right now or anytime until your last day of boot leave. Lets see if you can figure out why. Trust me on this. You will thank me later.

I see what you're saying cplbrooks, but you can't tell me it's impossible to stay together faithfully, I'm sure many have tried and succeeded. Why go looking for more boom boom when you already have what you want?

Marine Corps is best decision youll ever make, Id like to say you could keep her and come back and shell still be there like in the old days, but i think things have changed. My Recruiter told us all on the bus one time, "For those of you boys thinking of getting married, or trying to keep a gf while your gone ... Just remeber when a women comes up sucky? sucky? on your off time, what you gunna do" we all busted laughing.

Half of the boot camp platoon had their women leave during boot camp. The other half didnt make it through SOI.
Then again what do i know. Your relationship is probably "special" not like the rest of us who went through it before you.

CplBrooks, I have to disagree. I stayed with my girlfriend and came home to her during boot leave, just like you suggested. Then, in MOS school about 7 months later we broke up, once again... just like you said. Looking back, I think I made the wrong decision. Every girl in town seemed interested in getting inside the Blues coat when I put it on while on leave, and I lost the opportunity because I was still with my girlfriend. That's a whole lot of new "experiences" that I let slip by!!
In all seriousness, I'd been best friends with my girlfriend since we were 5. We are best friends now. But, the Marine Corps made the relationship, that had been going on for about 5 years, simply go away.
