Emailing someone in the Army

[Mummaof2]

I have a friend in the army who wants me to email him and keep him up to date with things that are going on here in Oz and stuff and I was just wondering if you ladies would mind me asking some advice on what you can and cant say/talk about in an email.

Any replies would be much appreciated.

Thankyou In Advance

I have a freind in the navy and will pretty much chat to him about anything, his wife has asked that i email him as well as he spends months out at sea and needs all the "home base" communication he can get i guess! I think he likes finding out if his wifes coping too ha but its nice to have someone to chat with.

We really chat about general stuff, every day stuff anything that happened over here, (ie any major news events, i think the last one was the burnley tunnel in melbourne) we dont get too in depth i am sure these emails are checked in some way, not that we talk about things we shouldnt talk about but i dont want the navy knowing my whole life story lol! I know not to ask him what his doing or where he is, as his not allowed to say where he is etc and what his doing either!

We basically talk **** about the kids what i have been doing, if i have seen his wife, how she is, etc what i am doing next week the usual!! I design alot of tattoos and flash art and his a tattooist we often talk about that most of the time new ideas that type of thing!

I guess its what your comfy with really :D

Cool thanks for that.

Thats generally what i thought. I just told him how we are and how the kids are doing and anything that has happened majorly in the news.

He is my bestfriends brother and they have both been a great support to me since my separation from my husband.

Its nice to have support like that i find my mate is great to chat with as i hardly ever see him but he totally understands some things that i go through, and the best part is hubby doesnt mind as he knows it helps me when i am feeling down :)

[Mummaof2]

Thats good that your hubby is understanding like that.

My ex was jealous of the fact that I am still friends with my DD dad.

Grr that stinks! I think we have a good understanding like that as his wife comes around quiet often offloading on us she often gets upset about the whole him being away thing and dh knows i always show him what his got to say when he emails

Jelousy stinks :( i cant stand that my ex is jelous i am married LOL silly man!

Some men only want what they cant have.

You can email him about anything but don't expect a detailed reply of everything he is doing - that's the classified stuff.

My DP thinks he is so important he doesn't even talk to me about stuff you can read in the papers :laughing:.
