THE GETTING TO KNOW YOU GAME!!!

[nicole~a sailors girl(:]

Okay, so this is a fairly new group, and some of us don't know eachother a whole lot, so I figured this would kind of be an ice breaker type of thing. Kind of like a minature biography. KEEP IN MIND. OPSEC RULES!! NO FULL NAMES. Use the first letter of their first name, it keeps it safe. DON'T GIVE OUT HOME TOWNS. States are okay. (: Hope this goes well and everyone jumps in! To give YOUR biography, just comment the discussion with it(:

heyy nicole thanks for the heads up (: yeah it's def hard to make it through the day when i cant talk to my BF. I'm so used to hanging out with him every single day of the week so it sucks big time. It's nice having all the girls on here because my friends at school don't really "get it" like all of you do (: yeah i hope he calls soon i'm keeping my phone by my side and I always get excited when it rings lol. & yeah i've def never been there. I bet it will be so cold in December!

feel the same way as you. I can't stand being away from him and he just left Tuesday (11/9). He used to be by my side day and night because we moved in together before he left. It's sooo difficult. Try and just keep writing to him A LOT.. he will love it when he can finally receive mail. We will all get through this together that's what we all here for. Hang in there girl!

[nicole~a sailors girl(:]

You bet he'll love it...Trust me..mail call = HIGHLIGHTS of their days. Definitely. And getting mail weekly is the highlight of yours. Not to mention the occasional phone calls:) The definite best though...is stalking your mail carrier...you think it sounds crazy? Trust us who have been through it..you may doubt that you'll go to the extremes of waiting at the mailbox on your letter day to see if you have letters, often scaring your carrier away...but i'm assuring you..you WILL do it!:)

[nicole~a sailors girl(:]

Oh you bet it's cold!! Haha. He should be calling before long:)
You'll get used to it...trust me..save your tears for the goodbye after liberty weekend..10x harder:(
The Navy likes to mess with you..they take him away for 2 months...give him back for a weekend..then take him away again...it's truly not fair..but you kinda get used to missing them..and it's not so bad..letters are wonderful...and you just get more excited to see them each time:)

Luckily for me I know he will be headed to Charleston where I have a lot of family. I will be moving out there in March (ish) but likely not living with him since he will only be an E-4 after A school. At least during A school they can use their phones, skype, and can request to leave base on weekends depending on what "phase" they are in.

[nicole~a sailors girl(:]

They can have phones, laptops, all of their electronics. After the first week or so they don't even have to request to leave on weekends. Just have to be home at a certain time(back to base). Then when they get phase 2, that's overnight, and they can stay places if they don't have duty, or anything like that that weekend.
So you get 83098430x more ease of talking to him, and seeing him during A school. Big time!
But unless you two are married you can't live together.:/

[NS]

Working on the whole marriage thing... we talked about it before he left and we both would love to get married but wanted to make sure it was the right choice. Being away from him is just making me more certain that I want to be with him for good. The decision is up to him more or less i mean he is the one who has to ask me =] (I'll let you know when this happens of course because I'm certain it will be within the next 6 months). I heard that the phases for Nuke school are different... I think they have to leave with a "buddy" for the first couple of phases... not sure if that has changed since I knew someone in it... but I'm in no rush to find out. Time will tell. I'm not worried about seeing him ... either way we will make it work.

[nicole~a sailors girl(:]

Hmm...For the first week they have to stay on base..the second week it's like the buddy system..then he should have free reign...most of the time they still leave with buddies or whatever. That's how it worked at GL A school with my ex(now best friend, we dated for 3 months) :) I've heard of alot of people getting proposed to during letters..sounds laaaameeee..but it's REALLY cute..like..they draw a ring and ringbox and such :D

[NS]

I will soon find out about all the stuff for A-school. I'm in no rush. trying to take this all one day at a time until the letters from him start coming in a couple weeks. And yes.. i've heard of the whole letter proposal thing too... I think it's cute but I also want the traditional down on one knee thing but we will see. I have a friend who was proposed to after her boyfriends PIR and she was sooo ecstatic about it. I would LOVE something like that... I've told him that before but there are a lot of things I've told him that I Love sooo.. we will see. I'm sure whenever & however it happens it will be great and well worth the wait.
