My boyfriend is currently in boot camp and one of the things that makes it easier for me is I have started bonding with his family so they keep me occupied while he is gone and I also try to remember that he is doing this to create a better life for the two of us later on. To top it all of I have the wonderful people on here that keep me occupied and help answer questions!

He did say in his phone call that his division is really lucky because the people that are in charge of their division are much more laid back than others. I got two calls from him so far. One two Sundays ago and another one this past Wednesday. I look so forward to Thursdays when I open my mailbox and see a ton of envelopes! I feel like a little kid on Christmas morning every time. Is your bf staying in Chicago for A School?

my boyfriend is currently stationed in Norfolk, Virginia while i'm back home in Illinois. We went through the first four months of our relationship without seeing each other and it was not easy and is still not easy. I try to keep myself busy with school and hanging out with friends and such but i still think about him constantly. the best advice i can give is to keep busy, it's also good to have someone to talk to. Anyone who needs someone to talk to, at any time, can feel free to send me a friend request. Just remember you're not going through this alone!
