help me help him...
got 2 letters from my SR today. only 8 days until PIR and i've been incredibly excited. his first letter was upbeat and positive like most all of the letters but the second was very very sad. he was sick and depressed and missing me more than he ever had. since he lost his original aircrewman job due to medical dq he has been airman undesignated and what was once a very set path and plan has been turned completely upside down. he has no clue where he will be stationed and before we had planned to get married in a school to ensure i would be on his orders and since his school was so long he would have made E4 before the possibility of overseas stationing. now it is impossible for me to be on his orders, if he gets sent to Japan we'll be apart for such a long time and since we have no idea where he is going to go it is so scary. i know he was just having a bad day but i want to write him and assure him that i love and support him and that everything is going to be ok. any advice ladies...i'm trying to be as positive as possible

Ok, a couple of things. If you send him a letter even tomoro, he probably isn't going to get it before PIR. Plus side, if youre getting the phone call after Battlestations, you should be talking to him this weekend.
Bret had big plans too, then he got a medical dq because of his vision. He's a riverine now, and pretty happy. Some times things don't work out because something better was supposed to happen. I don't know anything about undesignated, so I'm not sure how A-school or anything will be. Bret's was only a little more than two months, but then he was on hold for over a month. Don't lose hope, things are always changing in the Navy. Over the past year and a half, I've learned dont count on anything until it actually happens. You'll see him soon, and everything will be fine. -

Thank you...you're right. I need to hear his voice and know that everything is ok with him. I'm waiting for that something better. Also I've been doing the Navy for only a couple of months and I already see what you mean. Don't count on anything.
