Speed the clock up!
My Husband left for boot camp six days ago. I missed the phone call where he was supposed to tell me that he arrived because it was at 1:26 AM and I wasnt expecting it :/ The first few days i was an absolute miserable wreck. I quickly learned that it helps to be around my friends. I guess I was just wondering if looking back later will the time go by fast? It seems like the clock ticks slower and slower everyday. Also, since we're married we will be living in Chicago for two years for his schooling, but I read on here somewhere someone saying she cant live with her husband on base??

You can live in base housing with him which is actually off base. The other girl and her Sailor aren't married yet so things are different in that situation. Time will definitely start going faster.... Right now it seems endless but you'll get halfway through & look back and just ask yourself where all the time went!

Married students can live with their spouses, either in base housing (technically near the base, not behind the gates) or in a rental paid for by BAH. However, they must go through the liberty phases just like the unmarried guys, must request permission to live off base, and can lose the privilege if they are late or fall behind in school. Don't worry, they will be given all this information during indoc after boot camp and before school begins.

I am dreading when y husband leaves in 7 weeks. And I believe his school is only 2 or do months so I can't live with him at that time either. I know I still have time with him but as it gets closer, the more unhinged I become.
