I’m feeling extra gloomy tonight.. just reminiscing about my time in the Marine Corps and all my friends💔
I went to get some Pho with my baby girl for lunch and there was a group of female marines and they were nice and talking it up. I budded in a little and they involved me in the conversation a bit and it was cool. But of course eventually they left and I just felt so lonely again.
Like it’s so weird cause I’m a dependa now but I was prior service so I feel like it’s a weird niche. Idk it’s pretty hard to make friends ESPECIALLY now🥲
My husband is going on recruiting soon so we’ll be moving away from this area and I’ll be gone from this place forever💔
It’s not that stinky Lejeune/Jacksonville and Havelock/Cherry Point is great, it’s just that I’ll be forever leaving those memories behind officially. Idk I know it’s dramatic but what can I say😅 I’m gonna miss Pho7, the Jacksonville mall and gasdonalds… and the memories that always pop up of course.
Idk I just feel so isolated right now…
I know this post is long and dramatic 😅 Thx for reading❤️🩹

You got this!! It’s a change. 😭 Think about how at least you won’t have to leave baby girl for any field or deployment ( current active army mama of two girls tryna get out😭) it’s a change and it’s bittersweet. Also thank you for your service.

Hey, I’m active duty Air Force and I’m planning to get out in about a year. My plan is to get a GS job at my current squadron. Maybe you could do something like that?
