What your bf must understand is that orders must be obeyed in the Army, with no questions asked.
They will all be broken down to understand this major principle, and it is not going to be through polite requests. Army guys there are not runnning an opera house, for primadonnas.
Believe it or not, this may save his life sometime in future.
Teach your bf the following 3 golden army principles.
NEVER DESERT,
NEVER DISOBEY,
NEVER INTERFERE.
Ask him to stop thinking like a civilian, stop being sour and stick to AlphaF rules. He will be fine.
I am glad your bf is not of the crying type. You are lucky.

Hi Alpha,
He understands perfectly what is expected of him during his military service . I am sure he makes a good soldier . He is a very hardworker and puts 100% into anything he takes on so I have no doubt about that!!
Do you think they will cut the time of service?? Would you expect that to be 12 months????

Well there has been some talk of that for a while as far as I'm informed, and that's the way it's been going for a long time. A few years ago it was lowered from 18 months to the 15 it is now. My father in law was in the army for 3 years or something like that back in the day.
But Büyükanıt is a tough guy of the old school so you should probably not get your hopes up beforehand.
How long time has he got left?

Have some faith in yourself soldier, wars are won with a high morale. Önce vatan, şehitler ölmez, vatan bölünmez! You probably still have your tag somewhere

Don't worry time will fly by. My husband will finish in 2-3 weeks and I must admit it's these last weeks that are the hardest...well maybe apart from the first couple of weeks  Hopefully they will have grown when they come out so it hasn't been a complete waste of time

It is a completely waste of time I am afraid.
He will be talking about his memories for next couple of years (in some severe cases, he might be even talking about it his entire life )
But the good thing is, he will be compliant for a while, he wont go out without telling you or he will be telling you what he will do and when he will be back etc..

Hi Azade, did your husband do the full 15 months??
People say it goes fast , but it sure as hell dont for me.....i have to say!! I guess being together the year leading up to him going in made it all the harder.....always together and then nothing.....!!
Congratulations on making it through yours though!!! wow bet your so excited to be getting him back so soon!!
I am lucky that we get to speak most days on the phone, but he hasnt been given a day off for 5 weeks now so I miss seeing him on MSN.........but then again thats hard coz the minute hes gone i miss him more than ever again!! No pleasing me really...! Just want him out and done with it. Hated having that cloud always hanging over us so in one way its good its all underway...at least when he comes out we can continue to make our plans for the future!!
Take care

Haha you are right. Although I did promise him I would make him forget he was ever there..any suggestions?
I think most (if not all) soldiers after finishing duty should have the offer of a session with a psychologist if they have been stationed in areas where they have seen a lot of death. It's not a problem for all, but for some. From Denmark I know that a lot of the soldiers who came back with repressed memories that were unattended and it has caused problems for many of them in terms of adjusting to normal society again.
