I'm not plussing for this particular woman, but I think it might be possible for women to be attached Special Ops undercover missions where they use a male/female couple for better mission concealment.
Hello, this is my first time posting about this topic and I was wondering if I would attract any decent opinions... I'm a 30 year old professional who is single with no kids. I met my current significant other via a paid, online, dating service about 7 months ago. We met in person 6 months ago. I live in the Pacific Northwest, and she lives about 1,200 miles East. I was not interested in pursuing her due to the distance, but she assured me that she is 1.5 years into a med-board retirement and it has always been her dream to move to my area.
Afteter going through all the "what-if" situations, I came to find that she is a special ops Army Officer who has served since she was 18. She is also 30 years old. Well, we see each other for about a week every month, whether I go visit her or she comes to visit me. I have never had a long distance relationship and was also skeptical, but it seems to be going well! Here is my issue: She still has not received her orders, we do have very general timeline of when we think they will come. In the mean time, she is under an intense amount of stress, PTSD, and may (come to find) end up staying in the area she currently resides due to a job offer. This throws a wrench into our game plan, but I told her that since I love her I am willing to move just to be with her. We got into a couple intense fights the last two times we visited each other. I am posting this to not only vent, but to see if anyone has any opinion or input on this. I am naive about the military and she has taught me a lot. She can be stubborn and 'detached/desensitized' at times and that frustrates me. But I do love her. Again, she is a captain, officer, green beret, special ops, 12 years Army service, has been blown up, killed and seen death. PTSD and I'm not perfect either I'm there for her. Any advice on to how I should and can help her and I get through these crazy fights?
Screech.....so you've spent about 42 days with this person and you are already declaring your love for her? AND you guys are already having crazy fights? Sounds like you guys are moving too fast if she is legit. Although it sounds like you are being played. If not, maybe slowing down and get to really know her would be a wise move before you uproot your life and do something you may regret.
Okay. Not commenting on the rest. But "female Special Forces" qualified officer. NOT a single one in the United States Army. There are no "one offs" either.
Females with SF Teams, females with ground infantry brigades/battalions, females with whomever else is on the ground engaging with a civilian population that is primarily Muslim in a low intensity conflict and half the population is off limits to males? They are called female engagement teams (FET). They do great and needed work where males cannot tread without causing a significant emotional event. But they are not SF (peeps-non 18 series males or females- in the support squadrons aren't).

By continuing a relationship with this girl, you're ignoring red flags. Stop trying to be a gentleman and stop trying to give her the benefit of the doubt. You said you don't even want to date a military professional, yet you're seeing one right now!
They have females and they go on patrols to aid with the afghan women.
But this woman SPECIFICALLY said she was a "Green Beret". Not that she had served WITH Green berets.
