Things you should know if you want to marry a soldier

I hear a lot from girls who are in love with a soldier… or think they are in love, or who want to marry a man they have met who is in the military. I don’t think it’s good to beat around the bush, so here’s a few answers to more common things I have heard from girlfriends and fiances.

If you are in a serious relationship with someone is already a soldier, or are very attracted to men in uniform and would like to be seriously involved with a soldier, there are a few things you need to know… If you marry a soldier:

  • you also marry the military. If he is a career soldier, you had better learn to love it or at least be at peace with it. Don’t use the military against him, and know his intentions from the beginning. Don’t marry a man who is intending on staying in for 20-years and then blackmail him later with guilt because he keeps signing back on.
  • be prepared for deployment. Don’t say “if” but make plans and say “when.” No matter his job he will more than likely deploy at least once. If he’s in a combat position or other vital areas be prepared for several deployments. If you can not live with this then you need to be honest and tell him NOW. Don’t wait until you are leaving him 3-years into the marriage because you didn’t open your eyes and look honestly at the commitment you were making before you said “I do.”
  • while you are dating or engaged, go ahead and get a good sense of who you are when he is away in training or deployed. If you are very needy and feel incomplete when he is away then work on yourself now. Marriage does not take your insecurities away, but sometimes it can magnify them if they are not dealt with. Finish your education, figure out who you are, what you like and what you are going to do to constructively fill your time when he is away.
  • this figuring out includes your need for physical contact also. If you need a lot of physical contact and feel you can not stay faithful to a man who is gone a lot, then don’t do this to him or yourself. Find yourself someone who is home and doesn’t travel for a living.
  • don’t fall in love with the uniform, the image or any other aspect of the military first. You must love the man in the uniform first and foremost. The man in that uniform you love may also be a man who comes home with injuries including PTSD, TBI or other physical wounds. He needs a wife who loves HIM and not just who he is when he’s strong and healthy and “hooahing” it up. Marriage is a public partnership, but a privately intimate “soulship” where both partners learn to give more than they take. If you do not think you can love this man if he came home with severe, life-threatening and life-altering wounds, then don’t marry him. When you say “for better or for worse” to a military man that includes the real “worst” that war has to offer (including raising your children as a widow).
  • if you are not a strong communicator or you have a lot of huge insecurities that leave you needing constant feedback and reassurance, then go to therapy before you marry. Women tend to be the stronger communicators in the relationship arena. You have to be a master at it and you have to be creative too.
  • if you think that marrying a soldier will make your life anything like the wives on “Military Wives” or “The Unit” then you need a serious reality check. If all that I have written sounds like too much work, then ask a military wife for yourself. Find one who has been through several deployments, has children, and who has a full and interesting life. The military community is full of them. Don’t ask her how she does it, but watch her do it for a while. Ask her for her advice.

Soldier of the Week – LTC John Luchansky

With a military career that spans four decades, includes three deployments and covers two branches of service, Lt. Col. John Luchansky is preparing to retire after a long and distinguished military career.

After graduating from Youngstown State University, Luchansky followed in the footsteps of his father and brother and joined the Marines. After completing a tour of duty in Vietnam, he returned home to attend law school at the University of Toledo. As he recalls, the Army recruiting office was just a block away from his campus, so he decided to join the Army Reserve.

Now, after returning from a deployment to Iraq last fall, he notes the changes in himself and the military in the past 40 years.

“When I served in Vietnam, I was a 22-year-old pup. Then, when I first deployed for Operation Iraqi Freedom, I was 57 and serving along with people nearly a third of my age,” he said. “In Vietnam, it wasn’t an all-volunteer force. Now, the Soldiers I work with are enthusiastic about serving their country, regardless of their role, and they want to be where they are. They displayed a true sense of patriotism throughout the deployment.”

He also spoke about the marked difference of community support.

“Coming back from Vietnam, it was kept quiet – no one wanted to fly home in uniform and no one was there to shake our hands. But this time, everyone warmly welcomed us home. People might disagree with the operations overseas, but people continue to strongly support the troops. It is a great culture to return home to,” Luchansky said.

When Luchansky arrived in Iraq in September 2007, he was tasked by the Commanding General of Detainee Operations to oversee the establishment of a team to study the circumstances surrounding released detainees’ return to insurgent activity. Throughout his two years in theater, he successfully reduced return to crime rates from 7 percent to less than 1 percent. Additionally, the Soldier served as the Staff Judge Advocate for Contract and Fiscal Law and provided legal review for more than 450 proposed contracts.

“I am proud of what I accomplished. I worked with outstanding Soldiers, Airmen and Navy personnel who are much younger than myself and for Generals who have appreciated my years of service,” he said.

For his meritorious service throughout the 23-month deployment and successful completion of his mission, Luchansky was awarded the Bronze Star Medal. The award citation reads: “While forward deployed in a hostile fire environment, Lt. Col. Luchansky demonstrated unparalleled leadership in a joint service environment and was willing to accept additional responsibilities as it became necessary to achieve mission completion.”

In addition to his most recent deployment, he also volunteered for a deployment to Kuwait in 2006-2007 where he served with the 377th Theater Support Command. Prior to deploying, the Reservist chose to close the private law office he had managed. He said that his clients were very positive about the transition and appreciative for his military service.
With nearly four decades of military service, Luchansky plans to retire in March. He is not planning to return to private practice as an attorney, but hopes to find employment utilizing his legal background. Additionally, he looks forward to spending increased time with his wife, Linda, and son, who was married last fall.

“Both my wife and my son made a lot of sacrifices to support my military career. I am excited to spend more time with them. It is long overdue,” he said.

Side FX Band On Tour

Side FX (you may remember them from last year’s milblog conference) announced the dates for the first leg of their “It’s Your Turn” tour today. The tour coincides with the bands sophomore CD, Turning Point, which releases this month. Kim Cameron, the band’s singer and songwriter struck a deal with the Veterans Administration that will offer Veteran hospital patients all across the United States the ability to attend any of the bands performances for free. Cameron, an avid supporter of the troops approached the Veteran’s Administration after performing on Veteran’s Day at Walter Reed hospital. “It’s Our Turn to show support,” says Kim.

In addition to the Veteran’s attending performances at no cost the band will perform a special show in Athens, Georgia on February 11th at “Atlanta VA Medical Center” that will include a one-on-one interactive performance with the patients.

The tour also includes dates in the following cities: Los Angeles, CA, Philadelphia, PA, Birmingham, AL, New Orleans, LA, Austin, TX, Houston, TX, Dallas, TX, Lincoln, NE and Wichita, KS. The band’s CD

is already being played on over 100 radio stations in the United States and internationally. They have been featured on Fox news, The Pentagon Channel, CBS, MTV, Pop Culture Madness, Fashion Week, The Joey Reynolds show, radio stations through out the country and More Magazine just to name a few. The band developed a strong following with over 55,000 views on their youtube channel which features some of Kim’s journey thus far through video diaries. Side FX’s shows are family friendly, offer hope, fun and an escape. The tour was named It’s your turn after Cameron and the band decided that they really wanted to help people focus on taking some time to enjoy their lives and make a difference in others, turning the tides from this past year into a positive 2010.

Realize Records CEO Michel Grey states, “The band’s motto is More than Music and as this tour launches, people around the US are going to get to see exactly what that means. The band’s focus and drive to get their music out there, while simultaneously helping people is inspiring.”

Just Because

Another Way To Support Soldiers Angels

If you’ve ever even considered buying something from my favorite military-themed t-shirt connoisseurs at Ranger Up, now you have no excuse!

Tomorrow, Ranger Up is launching the first ever Ranger Up Charity Day. They’re donating 20% of all of tomorrow’s sales to a very deserving organization – Soldiers’ Angels. No longer do you have to wait for our weekly eBay auctions to help Soldiers Angels.

Soldiers’ Angels also some details about the event on their website. So, get off your ass and start working on that birthday and Christmas list for this year and buy some shirts! I’ve practically replaced my entire wardrobe with Ranger Up gear. As a matter of fact, I think the only thing they don’t make that I need are suits.

So, Ranger Up, if you’re listening: you’d start making some suits if you knew what was good for you! And cool ties! Holy cow, I could use some killer Ranger Up ties!

Pay no attention to the date, it’s wrong! The date is February 17th, I promise.

Secret Joint Raid Captures Taliban’s Top Commander

The New York Times is reporting that the Taliban’s top military commander was captured several days ago in Karachi, Pakistan, in a secret joint operation by Pakistani and American intelligence forces, according to American government officials.

The commander, Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, is an Afghan described by American officials as the most significant Taliban figure to be detained since the American-led war in Afghanistan started more than eight years ago. He ranks second in influence only to Mullah Muhammad Omar, the Taliban’s founder, and was a close associate of Osama bin Laden before the Sept. 11 attacks.

Mullah Baradar has been in Pakistani custody for several days, with American and Pakistani intelligence officials both taking part in interrogations, according to the officials.

IRS To Acquire Shotguns YOU Can’t

A few weeks ago, the IRS put out an acquisition notice that they wanted to purchase 60 12-gauge shotguns. I understand that there is an enforcement arm of the “Service” (they really need to change the name of the IRS, since I have yet to realize what “service” they really provide as implied in their name), but I don’t see why need weapons at all, other than perhaps some protective sidearms.

In the United States, we have local police departments, county police departments, state police departments, the FBI, BATF, etc. All these law enforcement agencies could easily provide protection while IRS agents are out harassing Americans.

While I’m annoyed that the IRS is purchasing MORE guns on its own, something else stands out that makes me even MORE pissed off at this purchase.

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) intends to purchase sixty Remington Model 870 Police RAMAC #24587 12 gauge pump-action shotguns for the Criminal Investigation Division. The Remington parkerized shotguns, with fourteen inch barrel, modified choke, Wilson Combat Ghost Ring rear sight and XS4 Contour Bead front sight, Knoxx Reduced Recoil Adjustable Stock, and Speedfeed ribbed black forend, are designated as the only shotguns authorized for IRS duty based on compatibility with IRS existing shotgun inventory, certified armorer and combat training and protocol, maintenance, and parts.

IRS Shotgun

Notice I highlighted the barrel length. The IRS wants 14-inch barrels – something we’re not allowed to carry as everyday citizens. According the National Firearms Act, shotguns with barrel lengths of less than 18 inches are legislated out of our of our possession. I missed the part of the second amendment that prohibits so-called “short barreled shotguns.” Yet, the federal government…no, the INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE is allowed to possess them. They are not even a militia or military department, yet seem to be immune from the same laws you and I are forced to abide by (those that DO abide by such silly laws).

So tell me: what does the IRS need with “illegal” shotguns, besides intimidating the populace into oblivion? In 1998, the IRS vowed to become more taxpayer friendly. They then ordered $1.2 million in pistols and shotguns for their “customer service representatives.” Now, they’re purchasing more firearms with top of the line sights and specs. Most likely, to better serve you, right?

Book Review of The Only Thing Worth Dying For

Eric Blehm (who was interviewed on You Served Radio Feb 11th, http://www.blogtalkradio.com:80/youserved/2010/02/12/episode-75) did a great job writing the story of ODA574 and how this single 11-man Special Forces A-team did the true Special Forces job of partnering with local opposition to overthrow an oppressive regime and help that opposition train to get ready to fight against the regime. In this case the oppressive regime was the Taliban, and the opposition was a little-known influential leader in the area named Hamid Karzai. Even though there were already SF teams and CIA in northern Afghanistan teamed up with the Northern Alliance, the Northern Alliance was a loosely disciplined and defined fighting force. In the south, it was Hamid Karzai with maybe a dozen loyal supporters.
