This has been on my mind for quite some time and I feel like if I don’t at least try I’d regret it. So my ex and I have been broken up for two years and not too long after our breakup is when I enlisted into the USMC (wanting to become a Marine is one of the reasons we broke up). Completing recruit training, going through MOS school, and checking into my duty station after the break up. I’ve been active duty for two years. I’m taking leave for 2 weeks at home in a few weeks, and I’ll be deploying overseas this summer. I think about all the possibilities and what can happen overseas, I just want to see her one last time before I leave for good for a long time. I know she’s single, and doing well. We had a bad break up and the last time we spoke was awful. I’m thinking of texting her something but I don’t know what to say, if it’s smart to get straight to the point. I also want this to be purely on a friend standpoint. What do I text her? Any advice will help thank you.

Hey, Wazzup? I will be home in 2 weeks and would like to see you, if that's possible? We could have dinner and chat.........I'd really like that. Let me know, thanks.

Email her, or text her, and ask if you two could meet somewhere and catch up, and bury the hatchet, explain that before you deploy you want to meet and talk, so that you dont have any regrets anymore.
Are you asking if she still has the same phone number, or asking if you should call? I do not know either one. Unless she has asked you to leave her alone, you are probably not prohibited. I have twice sought out old loves, but I am a LOT older than you and a lot more time had gone by. Both times we had a nice, pleasant dinner and then departed.
don't do it, you'll be sor-ry.........
There is a reason she is your ex girlfriend and not your girlfriend. I doubt that has changed.
I would be short and sweet; no sense saying much as she will either be favorable or unfavorable to meet. If unfavorable, let it go. I would just say something like "I will be home for leave in a few weeks. How about getting together?" If she ignores or is very negative, let it go as there is no sense wasting effort on a lost cause. If she is favorable to meet, then in subsequent texts set up a casual meeting at a coffee shop or similar place and let things roll from there. Best of luck
