Do you guys know if our SRs will be able to come home for Thanksgiving during "A-school" My SR told me he could on one of our lasts conversations during MEPS, but we've been told a lot of things that haven't been exactly true.
My boyfriend has been gone for twenty-one days and no letters yet. I miss him so much. I didnt think it would be this hard, but it is. We have been together for seven years and we have a one year together. It is really hard to look at the baby and not see him evey time. I just wish I knew something....I am hoping to get a letter tomorrow. His PIR is 10-28. I am still trying to figure out how to go....drive or fly. To drive it will take about 12 hours and to fly might take 2 hours, but still unsure if I am going to take the children with me. The way I understand his contract is that after boot camp he is going to CT for 17 weeks and then I am unsure what is going to happen.
My boyfriend's ship date is coming up soon and i'm having a very hard time dealing with it. All the people i talk to can't really relate to how i'm feeling so i decided to join this group so i could talk to other girlfriends who are going through what i'm going through. How can i get my mind off of it when he does leave? I've never been away from him and we have been together for almost two years. I just need some advice. I get upset all the time and i'm very proud of him but i still get upset at times. Thanks!
My boyfriend left on Wednesday for MEPs and yesterday for basic. I was ok with him getting on the bus but it was talking to him and telling him bye over and over that made it so hard. It's the little things like the seat belt in my car that smells like him, or our song that comes on the radio that make the tears flow again. All my friends and family keep telling me that I will be ok but they really have no idea how hard it is. What can I do to keep my mind off him?
jtuck1031- my boyfriend left the same day. it was the hardest thing walking away from him.. but for me i just write to him everyday and it makes me feel alot better. and you never know you can get a call soon. i got one last night from him we didnt talk long but it still was good
My Fiance's Ship date is coming soon and I'm having a hard time dealing with it. I'm trying to be there for him as much as I can. But It Hurts me inside not letting him know how i feel. I don't really have anyone to talk to about it, because no one has gone threw it. So i decided to join a group that is going threw the same thing. It's getting harder and harder every day passes by, his Ship date is getting closer and I don't know how to act. I keep fighting with him cuz i dont want to tell him how i feel. If anyone is going threw this please help me.
Hi everyone! My girlfriend has been at RTC for a week now. I just got her box of clothes today. Everyone keeps asking me if I cried, but I didn't. I know that now I will be finding out information soon about what's going on over there and when I can plan on going to graduation. Don't get me wrong, this is more difficult than I thought it would be, but the box just mean we've both reached a milestone. Did anyone else have a recruit ship out on the 8th?
I'll add my sob story. My husband left for boot camp on Oct. 25th. I'm 33 weeks pregnant and he is going to miss the birth of our second daughter. It is SO hard. Oh my god. The hormones don't help. Our daughter (almost two) has taken it hard too. She regularly wakes up screaming for daddy. We got our first call from him today which helped, but has also put me back in the "I miss him so much it kills me" stage. Just looking for support and some friends.
My fiance graduates Wednesday; but for you guys with SR's who have just arrived: Write often, about anything and everything. Send news clippings, (appropriate) photos of family/yourself/friends, pictures you've doodled or had your younger family members color in, etc.
Anything short of glittery/musical cards and food is pretty good to go. If you hear that someone in the div isn't getting letters, write them too! Matt's bunkmate didn't get ANY letters while they've been there, but no one told me until the bunkmate sent me a letter last week!
Hang in there. Everything is gonna be just fine. It'll be hard for them, they WILL get a sinus infection, cold, pink eye, etc., but they can handle it. Take care of yourself, because they will probably be worried about you just as much as you're worried about them.
My bf also graduates Wednesday...TOMORROW!!!! :) I'm so excited words can't describe! Ahhh I just want to scream lol! I can't wait to see him; idk how I'm going to go to sleep. The patience paid off and I feel stronger than before. I have so much confidence in my relationship. God always has a plan for everything, and I am so grateful for all his blessings. <3
The week before he left to maps, to get shipped out to boot-camp. I was devastated I cried most of the time. Got mad that he was leaving me, and even cried to him , making him promise he will be back. And 3 days ago before he left to maps I didn't cry Like i though i would. in stead i smiled, told him everything is going to be OK , and promised him I'm going to be here once he gets back. It been 3 days since he left, and right know idk how to feel. my family has been helping me get threw this, by making me work out. My sister calls it " getting prettied up" so when he get back. I really don't know how I would be if it wasn't for my sister been here for me. I'm moving out of our place, to save money and moving into my sisters house. But right know I don't know what to do. Every time I'm there it reminds me of him and i start to cry. And then i don't want to move any more. Idk how to leave our place. Because when I'm there I'm able to sleep better, Idk if it because his smell is still on his pillow. Can anyone give me advice in how i should move out and not cry my eyes out. Its our first place together and It hurts not having him there to help me move out. What should I do, because every time I start to pack I go to the room and cry my eyes out. What should I do. He left to boot camp Today and I wasn't able to see him off , but I got a call from him letting me know he is leaving. I was Happy to hear his voice but know I'm sad because it I'll happening so fast.What should I do?? Any advice?
Just keep yourself busy. The first 2 or 3 weeks are the hardest, there's really nothing to make it easier except counting down the days. Once you get that first letter from him though it will be a million times easier. Hang in there.
Hi, I just wanted to let everyone know that reading all of your comments has really helped me get through some of the tough days. I constantly read over his letters again and again, and it helps for the most part. I'm currently finishing up my last year as an undergraduate pre medicine student so that has kept me busy, also as most of the other ladies have said, I work out a ton. Pretty much everyday. Although nothing completely takes my mind off him, these things help for the most part. I really wish he was here and we could talk everyday like we used to. Oh well, I'll keep writing and we'll make it through. Thanks again to everyone, you really have helped me a lot.
Hi I am new to this group i figured if anyone knows what I am going through it would be you girls. My boyfriend and I were dating for two and a half years he left just before Christmas so the holidays were hard for me. I am very close with his family and still go over to see them or atleast talk to them everyday. I am finally getting letters from him and it feels good knowing he is ok but I am looking for advice on what to do to help me deal with this better.
hey everyone. My bf of 3 1/2 years got to bootcamp, great lakes on the 1st. i've actually been ok but its been hard to sleep at night. I'm more worried and curious on how he is. His recruiter told me i should sign up for this site. I could really use some people that know what i'm going through to talk to. :)
hey girls! my boyfriend of 6 1/2 years is in his 3rd week of bootcamp. anyone else PIR date March 9, 2012? it's been a struggle but this week has been the best so far, he got a phone call earlier this week and we got to talk for a half hour and then i received more letters today! =] and tomorrow will be the half way mark 4 weeks down 4 to go!... it is just hard, i can deal with the distance better it is just the not talking at all that is breaking my heart! i can't wait for it to be over! missing him lots!<3
yeah it deff sucks =/ ... but i will tell you this once you start getting letters it will help a lot! he called me in his third week when they got a phone call, it was one of the best feelings ever, we got to talk for a half hour! it is definitely a roller coaster of emotions, im not gonna say it get easier, because i still have my moments when i just cry and hate it all but im not as upset all the time like i was before and the letters and talking to people have really helped! look forward to see him and just know after bootcamp you will get communication back! just take it one day at a time, stay busy and it will go a bit faster. make sure you write alot! they all love getting letters! im here if you need to talk!
aww :( .. i know it is the worst feeling! but it is definitely making my love for him even stronger!!..i only have to deal with 19 more days of this. and it feels like forever! and im getting really anxious.. but at least the numbers are becoming more bearable to look at hahah...but your letter will come and it will be awesome! i made a countdown in my planner and on a calendar, i love getting to cross each day haha.
Hey, everyone I'm new to the site. My boyfriend left febuaray 16, I'm not sure when his pir date is, but looking forward to getting his address to start writing. It's been rough but I'm proud of him:)
hey ladies! I'm still kinda new at this! My boyfriend of 2 years left on February 15th. (yes, the day after valentines day/ my birthday) it has been hard, but im so incredibly proud of him! :D he had lots of sweet little surprises set up for me before he left. like when he first joined the navy and was in DEP, he bought a spiral notebook and every two to three days he would write in it and he would write sweet things that he knew made my day and made me smile. he also wrote on note cards and gave them to my mom. now i get a notecard every couple days with sweet messages written on them. He had other sweet surprises planned as well. Im in week number two now and so far im holding on strong.:) I've written him a letter for everyday that he's been gone. I'm hoping that i have a letter in the mail today or tomorrow! :O anyone else have a boyfriend who shipped out february 15th?? his graduation date is April 13th, only 43 more days to go! woo hoo! :)
My boyfriend left for MEPS on 2/14 and BC on 2/15....it's been really hard for me too, but knowing that a letter is coming soon is helping! I've been writing him everyday as well :)
ILovemyabh- thats so sweet! im so glad that you have that to help you get through. My boyfriend left me several voicemails so i could hear his voice while he was gone and couldnt call:) i also have written him a letter a day, if not more, and have sent a couple pictures with them. My boyfriends graduating the 13th too. Oh, and i heard they dont get to write a real letter until there second sunday, so we should get them the third week.
many people with a SR PIR 4/13/12 have posted that they received their first letters today... in fact one person with the same ship and division as my boyfriend posted on the RTC Facebook page that they got their first letter today. Hoping one comes tomorrow! I hope you girls get one too!! It'll be so nice to finally hear from them!
CT- really?! i heard from many other not to expect it til later, but this is great news. I haven't received one yet but Ive got my hopes up now:) Hope everyone else gets a letter soon!
Hey I am a little late jumping on the Navy Moms train but my soon to be hubby is in the Great Lakes and graduates in 30 days! (3/30/2012). He is ship 12 div 100. Is anyone else out there in that ship?
Samantha-it will be ok, it all goes by faster than you know:)and don't worry you have all of us here to help.
Ct-congrats! Still waiting on mine...been stalking my mailbox since I heard people got some yesterday for the 4/13 group
My boyfriend will be graduating boot camp on March 30th! We've got just over 16 days left ladies! If you're anything like me, you're probably counting down seconds and getting more anxious and impatient with every day. Just thought I'd make myself known and leave a short comment. : )
smitters--I felt the same way 4 weeks ago! Trust me, everything gets so much easier. It still seems like time is dragging for me but once graduation gets here I'm sure it will seem like it flew by. The hardest part is no communication for the first weeks. Once the letters and calls start coming, you will feel much more at ease!
smitters-- Samantha is so right, it gets a lot easier when you get that first letter. Doesn't necessarily make the time go faster, but it helps if you don't focus too hard on how much time is left. Just take it one day or one week at a time, and it'll be here before you know it.
Does any ladies here have any good questionares to send to boyfriends/husbands? All the other ones I've found are a little strange haha. Any help would be appreciated.
@Samantha Nicole...I know exactly how you feel. My fiancé left march 20th and for the next week and a half I felt pretty much numb to everything else going on around me. Everything I saw reminded me of him. All I wanted to do was sleep and write him letters since that was the next best thing to actually being with him. I didn't understand how I was going to make it 2 months if one day felt like 2 years. Especially since I was crying over the stupidest things! Everyone said "yeah it will get much better. Just wait and stay as positive as you can. Don't stress too much" I Appriciated the encouragement but I didn't exactly believe it.
Now I'm about a month into him being gone and I course, they were right. Personally for me it helped to keep up on this site and educate myself as much as possible with what he's doing and what to expect. Any answers you're looking for you'll find here. Somehow everything has its way of falling into place.
Keep writing him letters daily. It eventually becomes enough to fill the void you feel with him gone. You'll get his "form" letter the second week he's there with his address and gis graduation date and other important information. They can write starting the second Sunday so expect a letter from him the following Wednesday or Thursday. And he will be able to call you the end of the third/beginning of the fourth week. If his division is doing well then you'll hear from him more often through earned phone calls. By that time, believe it or not, time feels like its flying by! And graduation will be here before you know it!!
Stay strong and write as much as necessary to make you feel as happy as you can. (You'll be surprised about how unbelievably happy it makes them and how it really does motivate them) Keep in mind that in the grand scheme of things, this time is only but a minutes. Not only does it make you bothe stronger individually but together as well. It's a blessing in disguise. (a good disguise at that!)
Find love and joy in the little things. :)
I hope things get better for you as soon as possible. You'll be surprised at how strong you really are--in my opinion being on our side and supporting is one of the hardest things, if not the hardest.
<3 good luck!!!
My boyfriend left sunday night, and I'm completely miserable...it's always worse at night because I know thats when were supposed to be together...I'm crying as i write this...it's so hard....
teamleo: i've been reading about what it'd be like at PIR and I'm reading that thee should be tons of walking so comfy shoes cause there will be a 15-20 min walk i believe and lots of sitting so something comfy basically. nice slacks, blouse, and flats? or maybe even a nice summer dress not too short, a cardigan, and either boots, sandals, or flats. I too wanna look super beautiful or hot, but nothing too revealing.

smitters--I felt the same way 4 weeks ago! Trust me, everything gets so much easier. It still seems like time is dragging for me but once graduation gets here I'm sure it will seem like it flew by. The hardest part is no communication for the first weeks. Once the letters and calls start coming, you will feel much more at ease!

smitters-- Samantha is so right, it gets a lot easier when you get that first letter. Doesn't necessarily make the time go faster, but it helps if you don't focus too hard on how much time is left. Just take it one day or one week at a time, and it'll be here before you know it.

Now I'm about a month into him being gone and I course, they were right. Personally for me it helped to keep up on this site and educate myself as much as possible with what he's doing and what to expect. Any answers you're looking for you'll find here. Somehow everything has its way of falling into place.
Keep writing him letters daily. It eventually becomes enough to fill the void you feel with him gone. You'll get his "form" letter the second week he's there with his address and gis graduation date and other important information. They can write starting the second Sunday so expect a letter from him the following Wednesday or Thursday. And he will be able to call you the end of the third/beginning of the fourth week. If his division is doing well then you'll hear from him more often through earned phone calls. By that time, believe it or not, time feels like its flying by! And graduation will be here before you know it!!
Stay strong and write as much as necessary to make you feel as happy as you can. (You'll be surprised about how unbelievably happy it makes them and how it really does motivate them) Keep in mind that in the grand scheme of things, this time is only but a minutes. Not only does it make you bothe stronger individually but together as well. It's a blessing in disguise. (a good disguise at that!)
Find love and joy in the little things. :)
I hope things get better for you as soon as possible. You'll be surprised at how strong you really are--in my opinion being on our side and supporting is one of the hardest things, if not the hardest.
<3 good luck!!!

teamleo: i've been reading about what it'd be like at PIR and I'm reading that thee should be tons of walking so comfy shoes cause there will be a 15-20 min walk i believe and lots of sitting so something comfy basically. nice slacks, blouse, and flats? or maybe even a nice summer dress not too short, a cardigan, and either boots, sandals, or flats. I too wanna look super beautiful or hot, but nothing too revealing.
