Any boyfriend worth having will recognise that you are making a sound choice and trying to forge a decent career for yourself, and will be proud to have a girlfriend who is smart and ambitious. I'm ex army, and would have loved my girlfriend to join up as I know what an amazing opportunity serving in any of the forces is. |

drop him a hint[,though,if he is like most of us men,it has to be as subtle as a house brick smashed into his forehead,] instead of putting on lipstick and eyeliner before going out put on camoflage make-up. |

If it comes to it, help him understand that the only person who can live your life, or decide its direction is YOU, just as he's solely responsible for his life. If he'd like to continue a relationship with you, he's going to have to allow you to live your life without trying to control it.
Inevitably, he's going to have to face you making some decision about your life that he doesn't like. Even if it weren't this one, another would come along in due time. He's better off if you just deal with him honestly about it. |

I would have all the information, as far as training, benefits, when you can get out. What you want to pursue in there. Maybe even have an appt set up with your recruiter to be able to help field the question. And no thank you in advance for your thoughts of protecting our families. God Bless our Troops....Ken |

You sit him down and tell him what you want to do and why.
Tell him that he may have a low opinion of women in the forces (which is rotten of him anyway), but he knows you and should know that you aren't that kind of girl. If he gives you grief about this, then maybe he shouldn't be your boyfriend. After all, relationships of any/all kind are based on trust. If he doesn't trust you, it won't matter if you swear on a stack of Bibles. I wonder if he has this opinion because he sleeps around. Hope not.
Whatever the case, he cannot live your life or make decisions for you. The best you can do is communicate openly and honestly. Either he will be supportive or he can take a walk. |

Just tell him, that you are joining the Army. I know you won't sleep around. Later on in life, every fall you two can enjoy the Army Navy game together. |

Just do it! If thats really what you want, you need to do it for yourself and only for yourself. If he really is committed to you, then your relationship will stay strong whatever happens. Just have a heart-to-heart talk with him about what you really feel and want. He should be understanding. |

If you're looking to join the Army, honestly, your boyfriend's opinion on the matter should be one of a supportive nature; not the other way around.
If he loves you, he'll support whatever you choose to do.
And if I'm reading your question correctly, it sounds like he's the kind of guy that would expect the same thing from you if the roles were reversed, would he not? |

One of the hard parts of being a young adult is realizing whose approval matters the most. Hint: It better be yours.
I will say one thing. Many, many, MANY bf/gf relationships break up when one joins the service. Distance plus youth plus not much leave time equals "why bother?"
This is the path you want your life to take, so simply inform him of your decision. If he makes nasty assumptions, he's not the right guy for you anyway.
Good luck to you as you take your first steps in the profession of arms.

well if there's not engagement ring involved just tell him...and since he has a low opinion of women being in the military you may want to drop him..i'm pretty sure he's gonna be making comments about you soon...good luck! |

You shouldn't have to convince him or you already have problems. Join and see what happens - it may turn out ok. Your young follow your dreams.
good luck

Tell him you decided you know what you want to do with your life and the Army looks good to you. If he really loves and cares about you he will show you his support in what you decided to do. Best of luck and don't let any one change your mind. The Army will head you in the right direction of your life. |

Regardless you need to do what is best for YOU boyfriends come and go but your future is yours , it would be nice to have him be apart in you deciding to join the Army but its clear that isnt what he wants for you, If he cant support you now do you really think later he will?
Being in a realtionship where you dont have support from each other is a relationship that wont last...
Do what is best for you and your future, I wish you the best of luck in what ever you decide to do.

Just inform him that you have been looking into joining the Armed Forces and after careful consideration, you've decided the Army is a career move that you have decided on.
If he says that all women sleep around,then ask him does he KNOW ALL women in the Armed Forces, or maybe its just the one he knows in the Navy and that's why you've decided to join the Army.
There are exception to every rule, and you will be that exception...
Let him know, you have no desire to use this enlistment as a way to "hook-up with anyone" , you are just trying to work towards your goals.
If he has an issue with it, and joining the military is something you really want to do, then you will need to do some soul searching and decide what you are willing to let go...
The boyfriend or your dreams of joining the military. |
