Quoting bodrumgirl: HI Sera........so you will be hoping for the early release too then!!! well we are 5 months into ours, so still got a long way to go........times dragging but im lucky that i get phone calls most days. It helps but nothing like the real thing!!
A friend of ours is still having to go for help as he suffers night terrors having seen a soldier friend shot in the head..........2 years down the line..!!
|
Yes i am hoping for early release however it seems unlikely to materialize.There is always talk of it but i suppose it wouldnt do any harm to have faith.  We also get to talk quite often.Probably about 3 or 4 times a week which compared to some people is alot so i suppose you and i should be happy with our situation! Anyway about your point concerning trauma after leaving the army i think it is true that some men do suffer from such things.I think its a shame that nothing is done for them.

Quoting azade: Quoting SERA_2005:
Anyway back to the topic, I am in your situation too Bodrum girl and extremely jealous of Azade!!I wish i only had a few weeks left to wait.However sadly this is not the case,i have about 7 months left although i suppose that means 8 months have passed and thats good.Azade is right you do kind of get used to it.But yes the first couple of months are the worse and i am guessing that the last month will also be hard, counting the days but at least that way there is something to look forward to.Role on summer thats all i have to say! |
I agree with you Sera. Your time will come soon too, quickly hopefully. I remember all too well last year when I was the one being jealous 
At least I'm very happy that we have done it so "early", it would have been much worse if we had settled down for good and had children. We originally intended to wait a few years, got the paperwork done and everything, but then decided this would be better and all I can say is that I'm really happy we did it. |
Yes i bet you are happy,how awful it would have been to get settled and then have him dragged away from you.I think you are definately right to do it now and get it finished.We too thought about waiting a couple of years and getting married first but i would rather have it over with. Then we can get on with the rest of our lives, not feeling like it hanging over us.

Quoting catwoman: Quoting azade: I'm anti-nationalist and I don't have (m)any pretty friends in Denmark left because they were racists who could not accept my choice. |
How so?  All of them??? :-S Is that a genetic thing for Danes? :-S And I thought they were the only ones who were helping Jews during WWII... how disappointing..  |
Oh they used to be very nice and I thought they still were until I started seeing a TURK, KURD, MUSLIM, PERSON FROM DIFFERENT CULTURE - whatever the excuse is. Well most people are probably nice but we've had too many bad experiences so I started seeing red and now I don't really want to live there at all.
It has everything to do with the problems with immigrants, I'm sure of that.

Sounds like Saudi Arabia  (except, substitute "muslim" with "a non-muslim")
Ok, ok... in SA you'd be killed...

Didn't your Queen Margrethe II, say: "We are being challenged by Islam these years. Globally as well as locally. There is something impressive about people for whom religion imbues their existence, from dusk to dawn, from cradle to grave. There are also Christians who feel this way. There is something endearing about people who give themselves up completely to their faith. But there is likewise something frightening about such a totality, which also is a feature of Islam. A counterbalance has to be found, and one has to, at times, run the risk of having unflattering labels placed on you. For there are some things for which one should display no tolerance. And when we are tolerant, we must know whether it is because of convenience or conviction."
That is not the type of statement that seems to do much to foster harmony and acceptance.

On the contrary, this is a very balanced and reasonable statement. People who cannot understand and appreciate it are intolerant themselves.

Well I guess when the The Evangelical Lutheran State Church of Denmark is the official church of the state, that tells you something.
"The Danish National Church, Church of Denmark or Evangelical Lutheran Church of Denmark...............
"As head of the National Church, the monarch must belong to the same (article 6 of the Constitution). This applies to the whole royal house as well. As a result, the Prince Consort Henrik converted from Catholicism before marrying the Queen in 1968, and Mary Donaldson "converted" from Anglicanism before marrying Crown Prince Frederik in 2004."
Danish National Church
So much for tolerance....hmmm?
...but as this converstation is getting close to the edge I will not comment more....however...but as this is an official policy, it is interesting to note.

Yes it's ridiculous that royalties have to be part of the lutheran church. I actually think that Mary reverted when she married Frederik. I guess the popular opinion is that Danes, per tradition, are Lutherans (by title only though, as the vast majority are actually agnostics or atheists) and that is how it should be, the end.
Anyway I just go there for my family, the delicious chips (crisps  ) and a few other goods
