I was wondering how I can support him because I'm worrying for him and I need to support him more. Also I need people to talk to that went through this. Thank you:) also when he leaves I don't want to be one of those girls that sits in her bedroom and doesn't do anything. Lol

I'm going through the same thing right now. Mine leaves in less than 3 months. Spend as much time as you can with him. And write everyday. I actually already started writing. He won't be able to write at first so I just wanted him to know he is loved back home. It's going to hurt it already hurts and he's not even left. But get as much time as you can with him now make memories because that's what you will look back when he is gone. Also get close to his family. They are the only ones who know what your going through.

  Hey. You will get through this. I will too. I just have to be strong. Also make memories like you said. It's weird to think that I have a bf going through all of this. He has to do pre boot camp training soon when he signs in officially and gets his MEPS done. I want to be happy again instead of being worried for him. I want to support him. I also want to talk to my bfs mom and see if I'm able to hang out with his family when he's gone.

  That's a great idea. I spend every day with mines family. And I don't plan to stop when he leaves. They have became my family. Just remember to be strong. The worry will not stop. You will always worry. Just know he's okay. And write write write. He will love it. My boyfriends friends are jealous cuz I have already started to write. Make the other guys jealous of your and his relationship.

  I have been writing in a journal everyday until he is done tech training for his job and then he will be able to read it. Yeah my worries will never go away I care for him so much. I will most definitely start writing in advance before he leaves. It feels like we are going through the same thing so if Its possible can I message you sometime? And also talk?

  Anytime you need to talk I'm here. You can message me or text me. Either is fine. And if you even need to call that's even okay. You can message for my number. But just write. He'll love it. He might say you done have to write alot but he truly loves it.

  Thank you so much. I will start writing before he leaves. Do you live in NJ? I was wondering. That would be kinda cool if both of our bfs are at the same base. Also could I text you sometimes?
