Skell, Im sorry Im just responding. I dont think he gets "jealous". Since we are able to talk everyday its always like walking a fine line. I quit my job before he went to bootcamp because it was a late 2nd shift and I didnt want to transfer the kids around. I dont want to complain about finances because he cant really do anything, and I dont want to complain about being bored(Im extremely bored, hate being home all day)! So I find myself being silent a whole lot, and I probably make him down b/c Im always doing "nothing" when he calls. Im sure it gets better, and everyone's experience is different. Thats good that you keep yourself busy tho. I dont have a whole lot of friends and Im not the type to vent to others. Its the opposite. Im usually the one helping everyone else out with their problems. But if you have the jealous type husband in the first place, maybe he will get over it by being around a lot of carefree, young guys....

I just received the package with all of my husband's clothes. His cell phone was in there too, which sucks because he thought on Tuesday they might hold on to it for them to call home on Christmas. And he is going to stay in Great lakes for another 6 weeks after boot for the first part of dive training then 16 weeks in Panama City Florida.

I know where he is going and thank you.... He found out before he left he goes straight from Great Lakes after boot camp to Pensicola FL. for A school.
