I would but I'm impatient and those wouldn't be to my house til about 2 weeks before the fight. And plus we're getting new team shorts that are supposed to be the hawtness.
 
congrats barut,

Bama - don't feel bad. The desire to fuck like rabbits is not love.
 
whoa, i just found the secret off-topic thread. that did my head in for a moment there. I'm used to clicking on the top thread in the training logs to check in on graedy. Instead I get this.

That's what I'm guessing. You started talking about this girl a month ago, and now you've already fallen in and out of love with her?

Yeah, it was about a month lol. The thing is though, we had been "talking/flirting" for 2-1/2 months, and we dated a bunch and truly was in love. It's not any puppydog bs or whatever, it was extremely strong. But we just moved waaay too fast, and it wasn't gonna work in the long run. We talked all day through text and the phone, and things got stale. I'm still sort of lonely feeling, and she will always be really special to me because she was my "first real love" or whatever, and hopefully we can be good friends, but the relationship won't work. I'll never move that fast again. Sorry, just getting opinions here.

if things got stale because of oversaturation..you were infatuated...a form of love that quickly subsides...what you are going through is called retrospective jealousy..you think about her being with other people and it makes you want her back..ther is also comparative jealousy; this happens when you start dating someone new, and they lack certain qualities that you prefered in your old girlfriend..there will be many more of these before you actually find the person you find a suitable mate...think about it this way..there is a long process of elimination that has to happen before you know which qualities you can and can't live without...

I think it did grow stale because of that, but I don't feel jealous one bit. I want her to be extremely happy, she deserves it. She made me extremely happy, I made her extremely happy, but things faded. I'm sure she feels the same way about me. As far as comparatative jealousy, I highly doubt I'll go through that. Sure, this girl was my favorite bodytype, and had an excellent personality, but to me I have no major preferences. If the girl can make me laugh my head off and is hot, and I get that "love feeling", then I'm completely happy. This is sounding so much like mayberry, so sorry for that.

Yeah, things could be alot worse for me and her. I don't expect the emotions to last much longer at all, I can definitely see an end in sight. I'm sure being in Afghanistan sort of forced you to re-focus on more important things, like keeping yourself and teammates alive and doing your job.

actually, I just wanted to sleep....
there was a point when I actually wanted a light injury, just so I could take a nap in clean sheets.. funny how priorities change.. When lying in bed with a hot girl, nice cool sheets are the last thing on your mind...thousands of miles from any vagina worth looking at, I could only remember how much I liked predictable weather and clean comfortable beds.

It's amazing how much we take for granted. I mean, I eat nice meals, have electricity, clean water, a car, a nice house, boats, etc. And yet I always want more. While guys like you in A'stan are carrying 75lb+ rucks through the Hindu Kush and getting shot at. Sort of related, but was the op tempo high in Afghanistan for you guys? Also, what were the sleeping arrangements (sounds weird, but you mention wanting to sleep in clean sheets, just curious what your arrangements were).

most of our orders were time sensitive.. The more OPSEC involved, the higher the OPTEMPO.
I was part of a recon/scout (more realistically a modern day LRRP) so we were stuck sleeping in some pretty shitty areas. Fire base this and fire base that, under the stars, upright in cars...you name it..

Yeah... having a third sticky in here is kind of odd. I mean, Graedy's log has been at the top of every page in the training logs section for... umm... two days longer than forever, I think. Stickying the OT thread isn't a bad idea, but from past performance of such threads, I'd imagine that it would stay towards the top of the subforum just from posting activity. Bah. Change is unavoidable, I suppose, and isn't always bad.
 
Dearest Bama,

In some ways, you are wise beyond your years, but sometimes, I think you're the dumbest smart kid I e-know. You struck an information gold mine when you started posting in the S&P. You have access to some really smart people in this forum who have been where you are now, and where you're going to be in the future.

I'm an idiot. This is well known throughout the land. BUT, I've always been good at one thing....and that one thing is taking sound advice from people wiser than myself. My grandfather used to say, "You have to learn from other people's mistakes, cause you'll never have time to make them all yourself." So when we're giving you shit, it's probably for a good reason. Younggunz was right on about infatuation. Enjoy your youth, man. Don't be in a hurry to find a relationship. You've got decades and decades left for that shit.
