I joined the army to make a life for my then girlfriend, now fiance. She has always resented the fact that I made the decision to enlist and leave home. It's now been almost a year and I have only seen her a few times since leaving. I miss her and I think it could have been a mistake joining even though it has created a way for us to get married. I am not happy without her and the long distance is wearing on me. How do i make myself happy without her?

If you cant or you dont have any days left
go and talk to your first sargent, tell him your situation, he might be able to help you with getting more leave or he might talk to your commander and recomend that you be alowed to change your duty station to somwhere closer to your home. or you could actualy get married and
have your fiamce move to where you are.
if all else fails go see the chaplin, they have more power than you think, on rare ocasion they
have the power to discharge you. [ chuck1332's advice column | Ask chuck1332 A Question ]

Make friends, write/call her as much as possible. keep pictures of her in ur shoes/pockets. Find a new hobbie, something to take ur mind off it. And sleep and drink water as much as possible. And by the way it may feel like it but joining the army is courage and pride in ur country and people pray for u every day. So thanks for doing sumthing so truly amazing and heroic. And good luck!
