i found something!
so, i’ve been transitioning into the USMC family mostly alone. i mean, of course i have the support of friends and family, but nobody TRULY understands what i’m going through.
i decided i can’t do it alone. well, lies. i CAN, but i don’t wanna. so i went on a search via google for a support group and found something called USMCgals. it’s a yahoo group, but they also have their own website. it’s been super amazing to have girls who really understand what i’m going through to talk to and lean on for support. i know it sounds totally cheesy, but it really has helped. being alone is the worst part, and now i’m not. SO! my point in writing this is:
if you or someone you know is going through what i am, whether they are brand new to the USMC family or have gone through multiple deployments, and they need support, tell them about this group! even if they seem okay, let them know about it. it’s great to share experiences and talk out your feelings with girls who understand. there are people from all walks of life, who have been through everything the Corps can throw your way. it has made things a lot easier for me, and i just had to share!
now that i’m done being an infomercial for all this, pass it on! USMCgals.
