I am a Marine.
I’ve been dating the girl im with for a month now, and she just signed the papers to join the Corps as well. If we are still together by the time she goes to boot camp, we will have been togeter well over a year.
Any time I talk to an Active duty Marine (Im a Reservist) I hear them bragging about the girls they slept with the past weekend and how some of them were not willing. They talk about how they use roofies, alcohol and just plain ‘ol strength to get what they want from whoever they want. Not only that, but sometimes I hear them refer to the girl as “so-and-sos wife” or “so-and-sos girlfriend”, meaning that they raped someone elses girlfriend or wife. I fear that this may happen to my girl when she joins, as she is going active.
I have decided that if she and I are still together by then, I will marry her, and I will try to go active duty myself, meaning that we will be stationed together and can live together outside of barracks. I am afraid that no matter what I do or how much I trust her, there will always be the chance that it will happen to her, and I will do anything to protect her. Can anyone give me some advice?
