Stay or go? - Debates

Rach · 07-29-2006, 04:41 PM

I was just thinking about if I would feel comfortable staying an active participant on this board when he gets out. I know there are members whose spouse USED to be in the military OR they are former g/f, wives, or fiancees. I personally could care less if someone stayed on here that wasn't affiliated anymore.

What do you feel? Do you care if they stay active on here or do you feel this board should be for active military members or family only?

Don't bother me. I'm just like whatever.

We develop friendships and relationships over the years that we are in the "same boat", no pun intended

. I don't think it's fair for someone to have to just go away when their SO is no longer a part of the military. Getting out is a crazy upheaval in your life for most people. It's even a little scary. I can't see myself turning my back on a friend in such a bizarre time.

Unless they're a pain in the ass (but hey then they wouldn't be a friend

)

If people feel uncomfortable coming here after they get out, they can at least go to the womanhood and still associate with many of us.

I don't really care. In all honesty it used to bother me, years ago, but who am I to sit and say you don't deserve to be a part of this awesome place because you no longer fit in.

Whatthehellever.

Rach you HAVE to stay! We would all miss you TOO much! Even if Phil is out, you still have an affiliation cause he WAS in before-STAY!

You guys are cute

I'm not just going to leave because Luke gets out. I've been here for over two years now and have known some of the ladies for even longer than that. To me SOS is no longer just about the Navy, heck most of the time my posts have nothing to do with that. IMO you are still part of this board whether your SO is still AD or not.

Yeah, I"ve "known" some of you since June of 2004...That's over 2 yrs....Just wasn't sure how everyone felt about this.
