Hello girls. It's Katelyn. I recently found out from ka that i had been banned for posts that had been reported. Idk if I'll get in trouble for this but wanted to take the time to apologize. I know I have done this before and gone back on my word but this incident was truly a wake up call of how immature I have been on these boards and how I can't just say whatever pops into my head. I have been working on my depression and seeing a therapist. I have really been evaluating myself and I know I take things too personally and get worked up over the smallest things. Yes I am young but that is no excuse for any of my behavior.
SamiJoe: I am so sorry for saying I don't respect your service. I really did think I sent you an apology but my accounts were deleted. I should've swallowed my pride and done this a long time ago. I do respect your service and you as a person. You are very knowledgeable and give great advice on these boards. I am sorry I slandered your name (especially the Facebook comment) I know this may not fix everything but I hope in time you can forgive me. I am truly sorry for the hurt I have caused you. You are very brave for serving this country. I know I could not do it and it is very admirable you did.
Calindi, GGirl, Stan, and all other Marine SO/Wives: I am so sorry for what I said about Marine wives being bitches. I had a bad experience with one and unfairly assumed all girls were like that. I took the branch rivalry way too far. I respect all servicemembers and that is one of my biggest regrets on here. I would never want anyone to think I didn't respect a servicemember. You ladies are all amazing and very knowledgeable on the boards. You give great advice and I read your info because I didn't know much about the military. I had a cousin in (now an amputee) but when my fiance joined that was my first taste of military life. I had no idea what OPSEC was or anything like that. I have learned so much from all of you (and hope to continue to).
I know this does not make up for all of the hurtful things I have said but I hope it's a start. I want to change. I don't want to be known as that bratty poster that doesn't respect or care about anyone. I understand if some of you cannot accept my apologies but I wanted to take the time to tell you how truly sorry I am. This is a great board and you have all been so helpful. I hope in time I can earn your trust and respect back. If there is anything I can do please let me know.
