A little about me:
My husband and I have been together for four years now, married for one, we are high school sweet hearts. We are currently living in Pensacola, FL. I love our life together and I wouldn't change a thing!
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
The Navy offers opportunities that...
While he was at boot camp, it was the hardest thing ever! But really helped us grow stronger and closer as a couple. The most important thing I have learned so far would be; you have to be able to trust each other, and COMMUNICATE! Communication is the key. At boot camp I wrote him every night telling him what I had done throughout that day, and when he got the chance to write he would tell me everything he had done. Do this reassured the other one that everything was ok and we really are in it for the long run!
Our Navy experience so far...
It was positive and maturing. Our relationship has grown stronger.
