My boyfriend (7 years) left that same day. He is in SHIP 03 DIV 144 and will be going to Pensacola for A school for IT.
I understand what you are saying about knowing everything will be okay. I worry about him everyday. I'm very anxious to start getting his letters.. hopefully soon. Have you had much contact with your recruit?

I stay busy! I'm a Kindergarten teacher, so I have 14 "children" that always keep me on my toes. I'm extremely lucky I've gotten to talk to Michael as much as I have. I write everyday, so it's like I'm talking to him. I'm just waiting for him to "talk" back. :\

My boyfriend left for boot camp on 2/22!! I just got my first letters from him yesterday. I was so happy! I haven't gotten a phone call yet, but according to his letter he "might" get to call this weekend, but he is unsure. I know exactly how you feel. I have been with my boyfriend for 3 years now and we have been living together for about 2 years. So I would see and talk to him everyday. I miss him very much right before bed and early in the morning. But during those first few days all I could do was cry. But what helped me was writing him. I bought a notebook just so I could write him letters. Even though I couldn't talk to him everyday I felt like I was by writing him. Everyday I have struggles but I find it easier to have a good support group of friends and to know that 8 weeks isn't that long and that he is going to come out a better man than ever before. My boyfriend is ship 3 Division 141

My boyfriend is in Ship 03, Div 144. I'm so surprised I've been able to talk on the phone with Michael as much as I have. Twice on Friday, March 4th, and the Saturday before that. He just started sending letters yesterday. As of Tuesday March 8th, he had not received the letters I sent him on Friday March 4th. ? :( Hope he got them today.
