Im looking for any opinions for any servicemen who have done this before or any women that have always wanted a soldier to propose to them

That is so romantic!
Come home in uniform, and when she is waiting to pick you up from the airport terminal, get down on one knee and propose. She will be so overcome with excitement to see you, that she won't even see it coming! And I bet that all the people around you will start applauding.
Good luck to you!

Oh, I do love a man in uniform. My utmost respect to you, Sir, for the sacrifice that you are making to keep this great land of ours free.
The fact that you propose will be excitement enough, trust me. Might want to plan a fun or romantic date.
Unless you know EXACTLY what ring she'd like, after you propose, take her ring shopping. This is indeed very exciting to a woman. And something the two of you can share together.
Call ahead to the jeweler, tell him what price range you are wanting to stay within so that she can oooh & ahhh without you wondering how you're ever going to pay for it.
Congratulations! Let us know how it goes.
You're not in Ohio are you?
Ps. Is she coming to the airport to pick you up? What rank are you? Will there be other soldiers with you? What about having some of your CLOSE buddies stand at attention behind you as you ask her on bended knee, there in front of God, friends & the airport.

Being a military wife is no cake walk ( I was one for 25 years). If you truly love this gal and know that this is the person you want to spend your life with, and are sure that she feels the same way then I say go for it full gusto.
Please tho, make sure she knows that there are going to be a lot of times when she will have to be both Mom and Dad ( when you have children) she will have to be the one managing all the finances and most of all, she is the one to welcome you home from every deployment.
Then you need to understand that with you being gone, you cannot come home and expect everything to be exactly the way you left it. Also understand that she is the one in charge.
While I commend you and salute you for your service, coming home isnt easy after any deployment, and you cannot just walk in and take over. She has been doing things HER way for however long you have been gone, and the way things are going, you might be gone again.
So please make sure that this person is the one that can stand up to the rigors of being a military wife. Love alone wont get you far when you are alone. Its not easy..
If, after all that, you decide to go ahead with it, please make sure it is the single most romantic thing you do. After all, it will be this memory that gets her through the next deployment.
I wish you well, and hope you come home safe and sound to your loved ones.. Bless you!

you already know what, there's a level even as adequate will change into adequate and it appears like you've had it because if I were you I constructive ought to have reached the point that i'm finished with him. it is no longer precise for him to cope with you this way. certain, it is stressful, certain he misses living house, he may no longer favor to be there yet that would not provide him the right to cope with you this way and say this stuff to you, rather when you're with assistance from his area and performance supported him by all this! I say go away him now. there is no element in waiting. He says he would not favor you, then provide him his desire. it is now unlikely to get any more effective even as he comes decrease back living house so why sit round and look ahead to the undesirable stuff to come back? merely bypass.

I saw something really cute in a bridal magazine recently...the guy told his girlfriend he was going away on business but actually went to visit her parents. You could tell her you'll be home on a certain day, but your leave actually starts a little earlier. The guy got her parents and a couple other family members/pets to pose in a picture with a sign. The first person was holding a sign that said "Will," the next person "You," the third person "Marry," and the last person was him with a sign that said "Me?" He put the pictures in a small photo album and then showed her the album (of pictures from his "business trip"), got down on one knee, and proposed! I thought it was a really cute way to ask her family first and include them as well. If you have a bunch of family to include, you can maybe have them hold signs that spell out something like "I love you, ___(her name)___, will you marry me?"

I think that if you love her and she loves you that is the best thing that you can do. I'm engaged to someone in the Navy and I couldn't be happier. Just make sure that is what she is ready for because getting married to someone in the military takes a HUGE amount of strength, however, if you're in iraq and talking about marrying her I'm sure that she has shown large amount of it. It will be great for the both of you because once you are actually married her sense of security in the relationship will be raised because she will always be taken care of when you are away and her support system will grow so much larger. Just make sure she doesn't expect it because it will make it much better for the both of you.. :o)

HOOOO RAH. Thanks for your service, please stay safe, as* down, rifle up. Get Some!
Anyway, yeah, uniform (blues if you got them - A's if not - but try to get some blues), the second you step off the plane, hug dad, hug mom and whisper to mom - "watch this", say nothing to the girl, stand tall, straight, position of attention, cover on, then one knee, take cover off, propose. Talk about total suprise. Othewise, you might have a hard time finding a 'reason' to be in uniform while you are home on leave.
If you don't care to be in uniform, some of the other mushy stuff people posted are cool too.

I love the airport idea as well. If she's not meeting you there or if it's a surprise...then go to her house or work. She is a very lucky girl. Thank you for serving our country. Good luck!
