    Im at the same point you are!!, but i feel like it'll get better once you guys can start writing letters back and forth! so just hold in there for a week or 2 and im sure it'll get better, before you know you'll be picking out outfits to go see him in!! :) you probably just need a good weekend to cry, im know thats what im gonna be doing haha

    Be positive! You need to eat something though. I know you may not want to, but it's something you need. Sometimes they don't call until the next day. I know my boyfriend's parents didn't get a call until the next night. Stay strong for him. Remember he is always thinking about you constantly. Things will be ok. Don't give up! I received my first letter 2 weeks after he left. That's about when you should. However, it can vary. Sometimes it takes longer, sometimes shorter. It all depends on his DI's and his platoon. And it depends on how busy they are and all of that. Write as much as you want, that really helped me. Let him know you love him and miss him. Send him pictures of you and you and him. And always remember what you're waiting for. Don't count the days, that'll just make things worse. Remember that you WILL see him soon!

    you should get a letter about 2-3 weeks after hes been at boot. he'll be fine, just remind yourself that this is what he wanted, and be happy that he is doing that. i know its really hard. but you have all of us here to rely on and talk to =] message me if you need anything. keep that pretty head up of yours.
