It's Only The Second Day

Well ladies I do know what you are going through and i've been there I went through the boot camp phase and my fiance is in a school now. Its all worth it i promise you. I'm also going to share with you the exact same thing i tell allt he other ladies. The rules i followed to get me through it. And if you need me add me and message me. Also come on over too www.facebook.com/lovingFromADistanceMilitaryStyle



Here are some tips:

Stay busy (go out with friends, keep up with school, if you don't have a job try that, anything to keep your mind occupied.)

Write him constantly. The first few weeks hearing nothing are hard because you feel almost like he didn't exist. When you write him tell him things that are happening. Whatever you would tell him via text, email, phone call, or in person, write to him about it. In the letters send him pictures of you, of things around you, and things he may be missing!

Stay strong.

Keep up with the facebook support sites!

Talk to girls who are going through what you have been through. (It helps, I know.)

Try not to think about if you can or can't handle it. Say to yourself I can do this!! I will do this. I can't get through it.

Have faith.

Remember it will be ok



Here is something I have taped to my wall to help me remember:



 Tell yourself it's going to be ok, because it is!

 Tell yourself he loves you, because he does!

 Tell yourself not much longer; everyday is a step closer to the day!

 Tell yourself you’re strong, because you are!

 Tell yourself that the distance isn’t tearing you apart; it’s bringing you closer together!

 Tell yourself that if you love them, you will NEVER give up!

I know what you mean too, boyfriend wanted to call me when he had his 3 minutes but i told him not too and to call his mom first. I think i hurt his feeling when i said it but honestly his mom is going threw a harder time than i am, and i am taking him leaving pretty hard she deserves his call. Keep your head up girly in no time you will have him back in y our arms even though it feels and seem like an internity.

I know what you mean. My friends and coworkers sympathize but they don't really get it. I'm bummed I didn' get a call, I'm thinking he didn't want to call me to late, he knew I had to work today at 6am. I just wanted to hear his voice and hear that he made it down safe. I can't wait to get his address so I can send him his letters! What job does your boyfriend have lined up after boot and tech school? Tj is a CT, cryptologic technician!

i'm in the exact same boat as you just not the engaged part, my boyfriend left sunday and i got a call late monday night, they might end up being in the same ship or maybe the same division, I'm here if you need anyone to talk to =) these forums and websites are definitely helping me get through. What i'm absolutely looking forward to is his graduation =) keep your head up!
