DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

haha. That's crazy that you've heard of everywhere else on 66 BUT New Bremen. haha. Literally, if you drive on 66 from Piqua, you'll go through Ft. Loramie then Minter then New Bremen and eventually St. Marys. :)
If you ever need to talk, I'm here. :)
I'm from New Bremen. If you've never heard of it... it's right down 66 next to Ft. Loramie, Minster, and St. Marys.
And those first few weeks are the hardest. Hang in there because it does get easier. Never easy, just easier. :) Once the letters start coming it gets much much better. And I know it always helped me to write him every night. And the phone calls are the best. One will come for you, you just have to be patient. :)
Just try to stay as busy as possible. It'll help keep your mind off the fact that you're missing him and he's not around.
Do you know what rate (job) your bf will be?
HEYYYY! I KNOW WHERE PIQUA IS!! hahaha.
Sorry, that was my freak out moment of we live like 20 minutes apart. :)
But Hi! I'm Emily. Thanks for the add! :) If you ever have any questions, please let me know. My fiance is a Nuke in Prototype. So we did the boot camp and A school thing awhile ago. Deployments will be coming fast.
Is your guy in boot?
hey im doing good. yes my boyfriend is out of bootcamp. is graduated april 29th. bootcamp gets easier i promise. after your first letter it goes by so fast. i got my first letter in the third week on a weds. it all depends how close you are to greatlakes. some letter days for girls were thurs and friday. and some dont get them for weeks after that. it just depends on how his division is doing. but keep sending him letters bc they still get yours! the first phone call came the week after the letter and sometimes the guys will know ahead of time and tell you when to be sitting by your phone lol.
