THE GETTING TO KNOW YOU GAME!!!

[nicole~a sailors girl(:]

Okay, so this is a fairly new group, and some of us don't know eachother a whole lot, so I figured this would kind of be an ice breaker type of thing. Kind of like a minature biography. KEEP IN MIND. OPSEC RULES!! NO FULL NAMES. Use the first letter of their first name, it keeps it safe. DON'T GIVE OUT HOME TOWNS. States are okay. (: Hope this goes well and everyone jumps in! To give YOUR biography, just comment the discussion with it(:

My boyfriend is in groten ct as well he is in a school now so pretty. Soon we will know where he will be stationed. We are crossing our fingers he stays there but u never know. I am also on my last year of college which I think helps keep me busy but I can't wait till I can be where ever he ia stationed with him after school is over.

HI, 

My name is lyndsi, i am 21 years old and a proud girlfriend of an Aviation rescue swimmer (in training). My boyfriend just left for boot-camp 2 days ago so any one that can give me some insight as to what i can expect would be greatly appreciated. I met my boyfriend 5 months ago through a mutual friend, knowing he was leaving for the navy shortly had me a little hesitant at first but somehow he swept me off my feet. After two weeks of dating he told me he loved me and couldn't wait to spend our lives together. I have never been happier :) It takes a strong woman to love and support a Navy man and i am so proud to be the motivation he needs to keep him going. You ladies all sound amazing, and i wish you the best of luck with your journeys in life :)

During bootcamp, we didn't get very many phone calls at all. He called his parents that first night he got there for the 2 minute "I'm here" call. Then for the 3 week phone call he only got about 10 minutes, and for the "I'm a sailor" call a few days before graduation he called me for about 20 minutes. But he was a 900 division, which means he was a performance division (honor guard), and so thats why they didn't get alot of phone calls (they were always practicing). I know of alot of people that spoke to their sailor so much more on the phone, so it really is different for each division. I got letters every Thursday, and then starting the the 4th week they would come on Tuesdays and sometimes Saturdays too. The first few weeks are the hardest though, so we're here for you!!

 

Ninnja'sGirl, how long has your bf been in Groton? What's his rate?

[Ninnja'sGirl]

He has been in groten since nov. And is an e 3 now he is getting pretty close to being done with a school. I am pretty excited about that tho he gets to come home for a lil while.

Hi ladies!

Im new around here, so I figured Id introduce myself. My name's Nathalie and im 19, and Im am an incredibly proud Navy girlfriend. My boyfriend and I started dating about 6 months before he left for bootcamp so I knew I was in for a rough road with him. He graduated from Bootcamp last week and was sent off to SC to start his A school. Im in NH, and its really hard having him so far away. His mom, dad, and stepdad have been amazing. We are constantly keeping check on eachother to make sure everyone is okay. I love this man with all my heart and more. I never thought I would fall for someone like I did. I count my self so lucky to have him in my life. He brings out the best in me and I am honord to be a part of his journey through all of this. I hear that bootcamp is the hardest part and we made it through that. I am still nervous about how our relationship will hold up with all of the distance involved. He asked me if when Im dont school if I would ever consider moving out there to be with him and I would love to. Hopefully all works out well with that, its a whole year away. After having my uncle who I am very close to in the Army since I was little Im used to the constant waiting and wondering when we will be able to see each other again. It is so worth every second of it with him though.

Im glad I found a place full of girlfriends though! Its so different to be a girlfriend than it is for with a mom, dad or wife.

(: Happy to be here!

Welcome Nrose! My boyfriend was already a DEPper when we met as well, so I knew getting involved with him that it would be tough too! He still hasn't left for boot camp though, I have him for 24 more days and I am cherishing every single one! I hope everything works out well for you, with finishing up school and being able to move with him!

[Nrose proud sailor's girl]

Thank you! I really hoped so, but from the sound of it I wont be able to do that unless we are married with the whole moving situation, idk yet. and yes cherish it like no tomorrow! the last month before he left went so fast it was less than a blink of an eye and we were saying goodbye. :( but it will ba amazing when you see him after bootcamp !!
