    Thanks..My time did go by pretty quick.. I just kept busy.. I think  the first night was the hardest. Coming home and he wasn't here was hard.. The weekends still get to me a bit. But if you keep your self doing something it will fly by. Write alot.. Everyone will tell you the same, but you really realize it when you hear it from him. Its what keeps them going. I also joined a few groups on fb . the girls there are amazing and very supportive. Also I tell everyone if you feel like you've become bipolar(lol) its normal. one min you're ok the next you're crying non stop , it come with all this. But theres always a light at the end of the tunel..

    Hey girl! How are you holding up?
  • cheergirl4 (Class: 1130A)

    That's good! I'm doing alright. It was getting easier but lately I've been waiting for a letter and everyday one doesn't come I get all sad.
  • cheergirl4 (Class: 1130A)

    I got a letter today! It seriously made my day!
  • cheergirl4 (Class: 1130A)

    That is seriously the cutest thing ever. If I knew that the day he left I would have tore my room apart looking for each and every one. Haha. Now I'm just waiting for the mail again! Well Chris is graduating April 15. I'm so excited I have this little countdown on my phone and everything. As for his job we aren't sure yet. He is in the nuke program. I'm not sure when he finds out what his job is. What about your man?
  • cheergirl4 (Class: 1130A)

    I hope it cones fast I feel like its been forever! Haha. And what is CTI? I kinda have no clue. Have you gotten the form letter in yet or his parents? And no no phone Calls. I know the 3 for sure phone calls will go to his mom. I'm hoping he will get to earn phone calls and maybe call me one day.
  • cheergirl4 (Class: 1130A)

    Me friend told me that her boyfriend earned phone calls to her. He like sang songs for his division and earned like 30 minute phone calls. I know his mom is getting the phone calls but I hold onto my phone 24/7 just in case. Hopefully you guys will get the form letter in this week and you will be able to start writing. It's such a big relief once that form letter comes in. It seriously made my week. I wrote him everyday even though I knew he wouldn't get them until later.
  • cheergirl4 (Class: 1130A)

    That was exactly how I felt. I'm so happy for you! And hopefully in a week or two real letters! YAY! And that's good you are going out with him mom. I absolutely love my boyfriends family. I tell him mom all the time that I miss her even though I see her at least once a week. haha. But again I'm so happy for you. I literally go to the post office everyday and send off a letter.

    Hey! I did get my boyfriend's address today!! I was soo excited! What ship and division number is yours in?? As of right now it says my boyfriend's PIR date is 4/22 it lists them on this website http://www.bootcamp.navy.mil/upcoming_grads.asp 

     

  • SamanthaGPF<3 (Ship 03/Div.147)

    My boyfriend went to MEPS on the 28th and his first day at bootcamp was the 1st... it says as of right now is PIR will be 4/22 but it could change... we'll see though! Hopefully you'll know a for sure date soon too! And I know I was so excited to get an address!! I've been addressing envelopes and everything all night so I can send them out as soon as possible tomorrow! Hopefully they'll get to write us this week too!
  • cheergirl4 (Class: 1130A)

    IT all depends on how many he writes. I talked to a girl who only got one letter a week and another who got like 5 a week. Like my letters all came in same envelope but all written on different days. They cant send out mail until sundays so depending how many he writes throughout the week is how many you'll get. And thats why get them all at the same time too. haha. And I love your post office story that is hilarious! I usually got at like 6:30 am so no one is there. haha.
  • SamanthaGPF<3 (Ship 03/Div.147)

    Oh I see! Too bad they don't have the same PIR date :/ and yeah I will forsure let you know when I get my first letter! I am sending out all of his first letters today! I am so paranoid that like something is going to be wrong with the address or something and they aren't gonna get to him :/ that would be so awful.
  • cheergirl4 (Class: 1130A)

    I'm alright. Some days are get really hard. I feel like it should keep getting easier and easier. How about you? How are you handling things?
  • SamanthaGPF<3 (Ship 03/Div.147)

    haha I know!! I did the same thing! It felt so good to send them out though... I'm just hoping they can start writing too hopefully sometime this week or something!
  • cheergirl4 (Class: 1130A)

    Hey a letter is a letter! :) and no you guys will get a form letter and that will have is address and his PIR date as well as who is attending it. So homefully that comes in this week or next week. And after that the real letters. I got my first phone cal today and it was amazing! I was literally 1 min and 47 seconds. He called his mom and dad before as well. I wasn't expecting any phone calls at all so today was amazing!
