Drinking while deployed.. - During Deployment

UsMC GaL · 02-01-2009, 02:39 PM

Ok, so this may sound cliché but i kinda wanna know if any other girls are going through anything like this. Ever since my DB has been in the marine corps hes had a bad habit of drinking alot, all the time. Well hes deployed now, and doesn't get to many libo days so when he does thats the first thing he wants to do is get wasted. Now, see heres where i am upset, here I wait for him to call me or contact me and when he does hes drunk! So first call since he deployed he was drunk, altho it was a long convo it upset me that he couldnt call me before the drinking began. then second call, 5 mins, sober, but just a check in call basically which i was soooo happy for. And last night 3rd call i have got since he deployed, hes in a cab on his way to the bar. So our conversation was about 5 mins and all i hear are rowdy marines in the background. although I am happy he called before he was drunk, it still bugs me that he cant step away from the guys and give me a personal call. I feel since hes left we haven't really talked about the key things ya know? I just feel that every time he calls its like he's drunk or going to be.. and idk if any other girls are experiencing this.

SOrry its sooooo long : ) lol be patient with me lol

My husband has a problem with alcohol and no, he doesn't drink over there. He tried last deployment to get me to send him some and it was a no go. It is against the law for them to be drinking over there.

I know for DH's unit he would be kicked out. Not to mention they are in a Muslim country and it is against the law.

Look it up on things you can send.

my df had a problem with drinking when he finsihed school and was stationed. thank god those days are over

but he drank to fill the void of being so lonely. just talk with him and let him know how you feel.

Is he deployed or on the ground? Your post made it sound like he may be part of MEU on a ship or something?

Today they are allowed 2 beers during the superbowl (from what I understand).

Jennifer Lynn · 02-01-2009, 02:46 PM

Well, I'd never ever send him alcohol. But he even had it as his myspace headline that he'll be allowed to drink on Superbowl.

But, I mean, last year he got out super early from drill because all his Sergeants wanted to go home and watch the game

DH wasnt allowed to drink. That was a big NO NO. he would have been in so much **** if he got caught drinking. Only thing they had was what DH calls "near beer". The non alcoholic beers.

But if he is deployed on a ship, and is not in the Middle East, they DO drink when they are in port, and they tend to drink A LOT.

So her question may be different if he IS allowed to drink.
