DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.
DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Once again you're posting the same things over and over again, except now
you're just spreading them all over these different forums.... If you're
worrying that he doesn't love you just because it takes a while to get a
letter while he's in a situation he can't control-- you might want to
rethink getting married. I'm not saying "Don't ever get married to him" just
to WAIT. If he's the one and you're going to be spending THE REST OF YOUR
LIVES together, you can wait however long for this all to blow over to make
sure he is the one. You don't want to be the ex wife or to be on your 2nd
husband later. I have seen so many people get married and divorced all in
the same year, some in the same month-- don't be one of them. Just wait.
It's only going to give you time to get to know each other again after being
thrown into such different scenarios than before.
If you're THIS insecure you need to wait. Mature a little more. Let ya'lls
relationship grow and get yourselves settled in this new world we call the
Navy. I guarantee it is something completely different than what you're
expecting. You'll see what I'm talking about in about a year.
As far as your question "Have a lot of girls stayed with there boyfriends or
fiancés and gotten married through all of bootcamp and schooling?"
One, you're in a MUCH different situation than a lot of the women on these
forums. As far as my personal experience my husband and I had little issue
as I went through boot and A-school while he was half way across the country
at his new duty station. That's 6 mo without seeing eachother. We waited till I got out to my first duty station which happened to be with him here in SD. I worked my butt off to get here but I stayed patient and we talked every day unless he was out at sea for the week. -

I know how that goes. Almost everyone in here has had the same feelings. You just need to learn how to deal with it. And not post the same thing over and over again all over n4m.
