Missing your boyfriend whose in the
military.

the night.

can truly understand what you are going through.
12. You can't decide what to wear when you meet him at

morning and you want to look cute, but not too cute, because your
cutest outfit you want to save for your first full day
together.
13. Your first Christmas together is... apart.
14. You find yourself checking your e-mail every fifteen

story.
23. When the clock says 11:11, you find yourself wishing
for the same thing every time: a call from your
marine.
24. You get excited when its only 5 months until you see
your marine instead of 7!
25. You can't stand girls that talk about missing their
boyfriends who live a few hours away. You just want to yell

matter how far it is.
26. You don't know what teams are on top for football,
basketball, etc.

other than you and he would understand).
