The Heart of the Matter - Military Brothers

My name is Major Mabeline Dobbs,

In my opinion the military has the best choice of good brothers than anywhere else. They are usually healthier, in better shape, more responsible, ambitious and mostly importantly, have more SELF-RESPECT.  Now, I know that there are certainly exceptions to this.  But for the most part they are what's happening. Are military brothers really where it's at?'   Major Mabeline

          Major,

          I certainly appreciate your comments about brothers in the military. Being one, I pride myself on being prideful, responsible, strong and well informed. This is also true of most of the brothers that I associate with in the military. To say that we are the cream of the crop is debatable, but I think as a whole, by nature of our work, we process many of the traits that good men are made of.  This topic is fine but I'm looking forward to getting down to real issues like promotion, retention and equal opportunity. 

          I'd also like to add that I think that this website it TERRIFIC and commend the founders for giving us something that we can use. Your level of commitment to giving us the BEST is obvious. KEEP IT UP! Wayne,

      Hello,
      I might say that even though I'm not in the military, the issue of military brothers caught my attention. I personally don't know any except for a couple of relatives. But I would tend to agree with you, Major. In just looking at the photos on this website, I see nothing but clean, attractive and self-respecting brothers, all striving to better themselves.

      I'd like to suggest that this site provide a service or means for the 'available' military brothers to be exposed to masses. Maybe not a dating service, but something more of a friendly pen-pal portal. I noticed that you have a military dating link on your homepage, but I not sure that they have what we're looking for.

      I had to laugh when I read Major Dobbs statement that the military had the best choice of brothers. I totally disagreed. You have just as much of a chance meeting a low life, DL, and/or whatever other term you would like use brother in the military as any where else. I'm not trying to put my military brothers down but they come with the same problems, insecurities, and unfaithfulness as their civilian counterparts. Yes, they have a steady pay check but most are still living pay check to pay check. They are not immune to the world's impurities and imperfections because they are serving their country.

      This blog should've been called "A Few Good Brothers", b/c that's just about how many that's left. During my 6 yrs in the military, I've seen every type. The man that has a wife, kids and a girlfriend, the man that deploys and leaves his wedding ring in his duffel bag, the man that has STD's and keeps it a secret, in the November issue of Essence, they tell you about an ex-Marine now named "Cookie", the worst kind of man you can get is "The Comeback Kid", that's a man that has hurt woman continuously and he finds a new way to do it each time. He's normally the one that's living paycheck to paycheck! The list goes on and on.
      I'm not saying that the good brothas don't exist, but they're not popular on the radar. Maybe I'm being stationed on the wrong bases. To the "Good Brothers" that do exist: Y'all need to get together and start mentoring the SCRUBS, before the sistas start dating outside of their race or worse: each other.

        I am new to the site and am just seeing this. Morales and values should carry you through no matter where you are or what you are doing. I have quite a few relatives in the military and some are the nicest people that have sense and others that did not have morales and values to begin with. People think that the best guys to be with are the military ones. That is not always the case.
