Kaydet Girls and Military Men
"It is our pride."
This is what I often hear from the proud kaydet girls. To be loved by men in uniform, for them, is a pride.
But what does it really take to be an ideal partner to your loved one?
Love sees what is beneath those snappy uniforms, in the same way that uniform is not enough to prove a man’s worth.
First half…
I told myself, I can only say that I love a military man when I love him even without his rank and uniform. When I love him for who and what he is when he’s home, for who and what he is as an ordinary man.
You look at him in the eyes and tell him that you love him not because he is a Lieutenant or an Ensign, but because he shows you the meaning of love and eternity.
Second half…
He is an ideal partner not because he graduated from a prestigious military school in the country but because he makes you feel as the most beautiful and most special woman in the world. And because he constantly cares even without you demanding for it.
P.S. This is what I have been longing to write for Corps Mag. Not in this style but the message is just the same. But even if this would not be published there, I believe that every kaydet girl/military wife and cadet/military man who would be able to read this would share the same insight and would pass it on to others who are in the same situation as ours.

I think I love him more WITHOUT THE UNIFORM actually. That way I can spend more time with him, and no need to worry so much. =)
But i have accepted that I have a military boyfriend and so much more for that.

Gosh… That;s true… Bet we all share the same sentiments.No doubt his their uniforms make them look hot, but in my case, I’m more relax when he’s only in civilian clothes mainly because he is relax himself. There’s no pressure for him to be confined by the norms and standards expected of an officer. Anyway, he’s my first boyfriend, and I pray every single day that what we have will last a lifetime. I LOVE MY OFFICER SO MUCH!

Hi sis, my comment is a bit late, i just saw your blog now. Yup, it’s not about wearing a military uniform, it’s in their attitude that kaydet girls appreciate so much.. it’s not about the ranks and the prestige brought by the institutions that harnessed them.. Because after long term engagement,after hurdling obstacles and facing consequences–the ranks, the school insignia and the uniforms are but material things that could never be compared to the sacrifices that we do in loving them. At the end of the day–it is the LOVE we feel for them that will prevail..

a year ago, my man asked me if i’d still love him even if he’s no longer in the academy…and i said YES… for one, i love him not because he looks dashing in his gray uniform but because I sincerely love him for what he is and for what he’s not…
I don’t care if he’s no longer an ayer or whatsoever…
november of the same year, he went out of the academy for some confidential reasons and nothing has changed… I am still loving him.. and I’d love him until time knows no end…
at this moment, there are still lots of uncertainties whether he’d go back to pma or not… either way… I’d still love him.. I’d still stand by him…
