My name is Charity and I live in Galveston, Tx. I'm recently engaged (since October 30 month/ring since November 26) to my amazing now fiance of 3 years and 5 months. He is stationed in Pensacola, Florida for A School. He just classed up so he should be graduating in Mayish...I just started a page on FB for wives, fiances and gf from TX

I'm near the New York border, I had to drop off my boyfriend in Middletown on Nov16, and they left the next day. Still no word from him (to me at least) yet. Take it one day at a time. It's not easy, but you're heart will soar once you or his family is contacted and hear news from him.
Lawrencesgirl i cried for about a week straight over the littlest things. i even had to leave a class once because i couldn't stop lol. it does get better. my boyfriend has only been away for 2 weeks now. i find writing him a letter every night is very theraputic. we've all been through this, just stick to this site theres tons of info! when you find out his PIR date join or make the group!
Lawrences girl...stay strong..try to not cry, this is the shortest time you will ever be apart..be thankful..give it a few weeks and you'll be getting letters:) right around christmas:)
Thanks, girls :), This is tough but I can do it. And, the fact that this is the shortest time that we will be apart is what's killing me and making me cry. I love this guy, and I want him to last me a lifetime.
My boyfriend left for bootcamp last week (December 8). He's in Great Lakes. I did receive a phone call from him the day he got there at around 11pm. It was a fast 1 minute phone call. I've been writing to him every night since he left. We are planning to get married when he gets out of bootcamp. I can't wait to received his first letter. Sometime I find myself going crazy. I'm blessed that we have our families support. How long will it take to receive the package in the mail? Or atleast the first letter? When will he call again? I miss him so much.
Ashley, i recieved my boyfriends box exactly a week later, i then got his from letter with his address 3 days after that. i hhad written 10 letters already so i sent them as soon as i got the adress =]. i got a call about 20 days in which is way early then most people and i got the first letter about 19 days after he left the sendond letter can on the 22nd day. again my guy said he was in a good division. not many other people in my PIR group recieved anything yet. so set your goals to not hearing from him for at leas 4 weeks. it is ridiculously hard i was fine untill i got his first letters now i cry all the time lol. if you need anything dont hesitate to ask im only about 3 weeks into bootcamp with my guy so we can help each other out. best advice is to stay on this site! i dont have much support besides this site and its helped me emensly
Thank you! The hardest part right now and not having any type of communication with him. Hopefully he's in a good division... Where is your boyfriend? Mine is in Great Lakes
They've changed it in the last few years. Great lakes is the only Recruit training command for the entire Navy! Its so much bigger than I ever would've imagined!
hes at great lakes. yeah its huge! in a letter he wrote that it takes him 40 mins to alk from his ship to the pool lol thats a hike! Yes the lack of communication is the WORST. believe me thats what i complained about the most you jsut have to know that he is missing you just as much as you miss him
Question... When they call from bootcamp does the phone number show up on the caller ID or does it say unknown? I really need to know. I received an unknown number phone call and I really hope it wasn't him because I missed the call. I highly doubt it because he left last Wednesday to BC so it's too soon to receive a phone call. Please help!!!
mine came up 847. the only reason a recruit would call before 3 weeks is to get specific info like a wifes social security number, banking info ect. or to say they are coming home because something didn't work out. the later of those situations isnt that common. these guys go cause they want to make it! I dont think that unknown call wa him =] he would have left a voicemail
but no, it's not always for those reasons, they can earn calls sooner than that. i got a call at 2.5 weeks in because it was earned. 45 minute call.
they can come up, "unknown" "restricted" or "847". any of the above? answer it. they can earn calls early for good conduct, or yes, if they need info on banking or whatever.
Does anyone out there have any advice for me? My boyfriend just left on the Dec 13th to go to boot camp at Great Lakes. I got his hi I'm here call. Does anyone know when I will receive his box and his letter with his information in it?
I got Bret's by fedex a week after he left. Then about a week later, I got the letter with his Grad date and vehicle pass and whatnot. Check out proud navy girlfriends, and navy girlfriends groups too. There's always new girls whose bfs have just left. Read the discussions, you'll find lots of info! We're here for you though, ask away! :)
Those first couple weeks were really tough! The hardest part is waiting and not having any definite timelines to follow. It gets easier though, once you start getting letters from him.
Oh god no. NOT married. Haha. Me and mine broke up not long after basic..feelings still linger but we decided to focus on things at hand that were getting to us.
I got my guys pir date and I made reservations at the Red Carpet Inn. Has anybody heard anything about this hotel? If you have can you let me know so i can change or keep my reservation?
i think about 4 miles, it has a shuttle to pir and free breakfast, just no restraunt in the hotel but i will have a rental car so dinner shouldnt be a problem. To get the 69 dollar rate you need to call and say your going to grad if you do it online it wont come out to that price =]
I just got off the phone with my boyfriend! It feels so good to hear from him and we only have 38 more days until his graduation. Is anybody else's boyfriend graduating on February 11th?
No problem! :) I remember boot camp and how hard it was! I didn't join this site until after he graduated, so I try to help the girls who are going through it now as much as I can! If you have any questions, id be more than happy to answer them if I can! :)
Will my sailor get to come home after graduation? They told him he has 2 weeks off after boot camp. I don't get to go to his graduation because of school and really want to see him, I only got one phone call and a couple letters. This week has been really hard for me. I really hope I get a phone call soon.
odds are they wont get leave after bootcamp. They only do that for PIR weekends that land on a holiday, but its never two weeks. After PIR they will have liberty for the weekend then go to A school. Some Sailors leave saturday. It gets better trust me i'd try to go to PIR, im missing 3 classes to go lol. The first time he will get leave is typically after he finishes A school. hope this helps
He won't get leave after basic. He might get the weekend if he's lucky; if he's grad and go, and goes to aschool somewhere other than great lakes, he could leave as soon as a couple of hours after PIR. After A school they typically get two weeks, but even that falls through sometimes (rarely.) He'll tell you in a letter where he's going to aschool and whether he's grad n go.
He doesn't get his 2 weeks I just found that out but he is a Navy Nuke so I guess I would have to go to Charleston to see him. I am going to his Graduation and I am missing 3 classes too. I really can't wait to see him but I am starting to go through that panic stage like crazy lol. Thanks for the help girls :)

847 is always a chicago area code.
but no, it's not always for those reasons, they can earn calls sooner than that. i got a call at 2.5 weeks in because it was earned. 45 minute call.
