I'm 18. My boyfriend Zack left for boot camp November 7th. We've been dating for a year and a half. He is my best friend and I can talk to him about anything. I feel like he understands me the most. I recently lost my 14 year old cousin who was like my sister so this has been hard and he has been an angel helping me. I don't know what I would do without him. He is my everything.
I am here to support my
Spouse/Significant other
Stage of (Sailor’s) Navy career?
Enlisted
When I heard “Navy,” I...
Was proud and encouraged it
Our Navy experience so far...
It was positive and maturing. Our relationship has grown stronger.

I know it will all be alright, it is just hard letting him go. I am gonna keep my head up to, I just can't believe the time has come for him to leave. He is gonna do really great and I am very proud of him. We do have each other and we will make it. Love you Bry...:)
Cheer up Bry- Bry, its all gonna be okay. I know I should be one talking, but we can do this. He is doing a great thing and time will fly by before we know it and we will be able to talk to him. I am here for you if you need me. Love you....
I know I am having a hard time to. Been keeping my phone attached to my hip although I know it will be a couple weeks, not sleeping, hardly eating. I can' wait to see him at graduation. You know I am here if you just need to talk. Been watching a lot of BC videos. Don't to bad. I know he is fine and doing great. Jan will be here before we know it. I love you honey
I'm trying to stay busy as well but it's not really working :/ it's always on my mind. Nights are the worst for me too. I'm always used to Kreig laying and cuddling with me at night but now it's me laying there by myself. It's hard but we have to all stay strong. If you ever need anyone to talk to i'm always here :) we should hang out sometime. It can get our minds off of it a little.
awh. Lol yeah my parents try to support me too but they also just don't understand how i feel or what i'm going through either. The letters are going to be the best things i think because i'm able to just let it all go and write to him. I hope they graduate at the same time too! Are you going up to chicago to see zach graduate? Yeah, let's definetly hang out a day! It will keep our minds at ease. I'll message you my number. We all have to remain strong for them and they will be here before we know it :)
I do the exact same thing. I actually am about half way through my letter to Kreig already. We are also wondering the same thing about either driving or riding in an airplane. It really does depend on money :P Does he know when he graduates? we will all probably be up there around the same time.
Well, when he made his one phone call to me last night he said he wasn't sure. :( it would be sometime in january like the 15th he said but he wasn't sure. I guess he will either have to write it to me or i'll have to figure it out. When did zach leave?
Yeah, that sounds about right. I'm supposed to call up there monday to get the information. Yeah, Kreig would talk to me about what they were up to at meetings and how they would always talk on facebook. Lol but yep it looks like we are all going to be in chicago!
Same here! Lol we are pushing more towards flying and i'm scared of airplanes but if it's to see Kreig then i will! Yes, we should all definetly do something when we get to chicago that way Kreig and Zach are able to hang out haha. I still have trouble sleeping at night . Ugh!
Oh me too. I never sleep and i'm about to be put on third shift at work so i definitely won't get any sleep. If they do graduate at the same time we should all go on the plane together. That would be awesome!
Aw I know exactly what you mean. I miss sleeping w my bf. It's sk lonely. :( but I'm sure it will all be worth it. My bf left September 14 so he'll be graduating in two
Weeks! Can't wait!!!
Aww thanks :) I am excited! He told me he wants to marry me when I go to great lakes!!! :) he wrote my dad a letter since he can't see him in person and my dad gave him the approval! Omg lol.
Thank you. Yes I'm happy, excited, anxious, and a little nervous. I can hardly sleep at night lol super dramatic but true. Have you heard anything from your sailor?
Haha ok awesome. Yeah you should call his recruiter for his address and what not. His first letter to you is prob going to be like ten pages! It took about
2 weeks to finally get a letter from my bf. After that first
Letter, they get to send out mail every Sunday, because they get what's called, "holiday routine" which is 4 hours to do whatever they want.
My bf says he takes advantage of his sundays to take long showers, since they usually only have seven minutes to take
Their clothes off, shower, put their clothes back on and brush their teeth. Oh yeah and after the third week, recruits are
Able to send out mail every Tuesday, thursday and Sunday.
Wow I wrote a novel! :|
How exciting! I'm excited for you :) you should try to write to him everyday. Send him pictures, spray some of your letters w perfume, draw your
Bf cartoons, put some of your best
Lipstick and kiss his letters just to give him a slice of home. :] I write to my bf everyday like if he were
My diary. He does the same for me, it's cute cuz it makes
Us feel closer to one another. you're welcome,
Let me know if you need anything. I'll
Try to help as much as I can.
I'm pretty sure he'll give in and ask you for pictures, but yeah you're right about waiting to see what he wants, cuz everyones different. My bf told me that they would all take out pics of "the girlfriends"
To compare them to see who was the prettiest or hottest. Lol they really get bored! Thats good that you write
Every night. He probably does too. :)
Lol some boys are tools like that! Don't send any
Provocative pics hah he can get in lot of trouble for that! My bf asked me to send some "sexy" pics for our 4 year anniversary. I was a
Little iffy about it, but I did it anyway. Ha he had them for about a week, but sent them back cuz he didn't want to throw them away. He said when the RDC's handout mail and they feel like a letter is really heavy, they sometimes make recruits open the letters in front
Of them. Thank God that hasn't happened to my bf lol.
I'm sorry :/ try to stay around your family this thanksgiving. It isn't easy, but our
Sailors left us with no choice, but to toughen our selves up as well! Stay strong for your relationship. I hope you have a great thanksgiving! How long has it been that zack has been at bootcamp? That's weird about the stamps, cuz Alan always had stamps. I never sent
Him any, he was actually the one to send me some lol. If you think you should send some, then do it. Idk why they wouldn't provide him w any.
He said you're welcome. Yeah you should send him some just in case but tell him he can go to the store and buy them. I can only imagine what you're going through, but don't let it get you down. Nothing good comes out if being sad, I'm sure zack and your cousin would like it if you were happy and strong. It is hard, but god wouldn't throw these challenges at us, if he didn't think we can overcome them. Even though I don't know you, I believe in you and I
Know you can make it through this. Ill be here for whatever you need. Don't give up!!! <3
Thank you! I am so happy! And im happy that you heard from your sailor! I remember how I couldn't stop reading my first letter. Its a great feeling. Do you feel a little better now that you heard from him?? Hows he liking boot lol
Congrats!!! how exciting. did you cry?? I remember I hecka cried when I talked to Alan for the first time. How have you been? I hope you're doing good and you feel more at peace now that you heard from Zack.
Aww yeah it's hard not to get emotional. Don't you feel even more in love w him than before? lol. I think Alan cried too but
Not too much. Do u know where your
Bf is going after bc?
Aww well a letter is better than nothing. Wow that's good for him! You must be proud lol. Omg guess what!?? Alan surprised me and he's here with me! I'm so excited sorry ha. Hes an aircrewman.
Yeah it sucks but oh well. We deal w it cuz of love ha. We don't know yet. He prob will be there for a
Year, because he's doing aircrew school and A school.
Yeah I don't think that people who aren't truly in love and committed make it through all this. A year is a long time, but the good thing is that they get to leave for the holidays. Alan isnt leaving till the second. He's all mine right now :D lol
Its good to know his mom was able to spend christmas w him and that you were able to talk to him. I know its hard and there will be plenty of sad moments, but you have to remember you're not in this alone. your sailor is going through it and worse, but I know he's strong and I know you are too. Im pretty sure he was understanding when you cried. I hope you had a merry Christmas and a happy new year. God bless you, your family and your beloved sailor! <3
Thank you so much. Yeah im trying to appreciate every second, and I know it will be easier now that we can call and skype :) Our new years was pretty great. How was yours? Ill deff let Alan know that. OMG you must be so excited!! Lol im excited for you! I hecka know what you mean about being a little nervous, but trust me there is no better feeling than reuniting w your sailor. I hope you enjoy PIR as much as I did!!
