Hi everyone, my boyfriend is in Iraq now. We did talk so often before but i don't know what happen to him now because i haven't heard about him for almost 2 months now. I am new to this forum so can anyone tells me that wherether he has to be in a special time now so he can't be able to talk with anyone during this time. I am very sad and upset now, i would love to hear from him now so much.
Thanks

when most of the troops arent out on a mission or patrolling, which isn't very often for some, they can write, phone, or email. many are just plain out exhausted - that they dont get much free time. and if you dont have your own laptop, you wait in line for up to hours to use the internet. they can call, but it is very expensive unless they have an international calling card. i suggest you keep writing him to let him know you care and support him - it will keep his morale up and going.

i am also new to this site, but i saw your thread and though i'd offer some moral support.
I'm sure your boyfriend is safe and well in Iraq. He's over there with some incredibly capable men and women, and i'm sure he is perfectly capable also, who's job is to save and protect the lives of others.
It is obviously a very stressful situation in Iraq, so i suggest you dont give up hope, as it may be days on end until he gets the open chance to send and recive mail home.
Keep Smilin, :)

Your man will be fine,its not all out war,soldiers arent dropping like flies,casualties are much more random.You havent heard from him because hes in the army,not the Brownies! and time passes faster for him than for you.The best thing you can do is keep writing to him and tell him how proud you are of him,tell him to be strong,help him to stay focused.Dont tell him youre worried for his safety.Army wives and girlfriends have to carry the fight back home just like your boyfriend is in Iraq.If you are strong then he will be too and he'll be home before you know it :)

hey girl, my guy is in iraq as well, and the rest of the poster's comments are true, they dont get a whole lot of free time and when they do, its either attempt to sleep or wait in line for four hours to use the computer. im sorry to know that you havnt heard from him in a while, but hang in there! its tough i know, and we are just gonna have to support them the best we can and wait to hear from them! so stay strong and dont you ever give up on him! keep writing him and making sure that he gets your support. that will keep him going no matter what. everything he does hes doing for you, just know that. :) good luck,

calm down and take a breath. most of the time he is probably so tired he passes right out. my husband has waited in line for 4 hours befor to use the phone and just as it is his turn they shut the phones down. internet lines are also very long. keep wrighting and you will hear from him soon enough.

Hey
I dont know what you are going through but I am really sorrie to hear that. I am sure that you will hear from him. Just keep busy in life and just support him, be strong for him and know that he is doing his job. I have a boyfriend who just spung up on me that he is going into the army.. in 6 months soo It scared me and I dont know what I will do cause I never been through that. But keep writing.. no matter how many cause its nice for them to get letters of comfort from home.. pictures and just so he knows you are okay and that you are sending him soo much support and love. He will know that what he is doing is good. Cause all that support is something someone wants to hear.:o

Yah the best thing we can do as soldier's girlfriends is think positive, hope and pray. I haven't heard from mine in about a week. The last time I got to talk to him it was like for 5 mins. I just keep myself busy and I avoid the news. The news as convient as it is, can drive you crazy.

my boyfriend went to iraq beginning of January, following his 2 week leave, that we spent hanging out with his close friends and getting to know each other better. (we started dateing the day he left for his duty station in Germany) its been tough. but knowing the feelings between both of us are very strong, its deffinatlly like an endless love story :) ... well since he's been there (Iraq) i havent been the same, i cant sleep at night, i get depressed alot and end up spending hours, even days wondering what its like for him there. When he calls i get extremelly happy but when he doesnt it drives me INSANE! i worry about everything, i mean you hear all this stuff on the news and never know what could happen. Theres some strange people out there, ya know? well its been a week and a half since our last 3 minute convo... its hard to not think about it. BUt remember these guys are trained for almost anything and when you cant stop thinking about him, it helps me...so maybe it will help you, E-mail him! write him a letter... let him know your worried and you are thinking about him... and the main thing... just pray!.... i hope the best for you ...GOOD LUCK!:rolleyes: thats all i can say sweet heart.

My story is very similar to yours, except that my romance just started. I started dating M. 2 weeks ago while he was back from iraq. We had an instant connection and ended up having a lot of fun together. While we only saw each other a couple of times we were constantly calling and texting each other. He went back to Iraq last Sunday and I still haven't heard from him. I really have feelings for M. and I think he has some for me as well but we didn't have enough time to get to know each other. Plus, when he comes back to the States in December, he would be station on the other side of the country!!! Is it stupid of me to be worried about him, waiting for him and hoping for something that may never happen or should I just try to move on and avoid getting hurt?
I knew absolutely nothing about the army up until 2 weeks ago, so I am trying to educate myself on this site

I promise he is ok (someone would knock on his parents door and let them know if something was wrong so keep in touch with his parents) a lot of times he will get caught up in his work JUST TO COVER THE FEELINGS he is having about missing home (belive me this happend with my husband when he went to Germany and I am pregnant with his child) do you have an address to write him at?? If so KEEP the letters COMING!!! The support you give him NOW will HELP SO MUCH IN THE LONG RUN!!! And dont listen to the NEGITIVE that people are going to tell you... So many people filled my head with negitave stuff and it does get to you I promise... I dont know if this will work for you or not because yall arent married BUT you can call the red cross and tell them whats going on! I called and they just ask questions like whats his social secruity number and yours and whats going on and they will contact him and let him know your worried and make sure there is a way that he can call you... Like I said I dont know if that will work because yall arent married but its a lways worth a try right?!?!?!?!?!? If you have anymore questions DONT BE AFRAID TO ASK!!!!
