He Leaves For Boot Camp Tomorrow.

My boyfriend of over a year leaves for Navy boot camp tomorrow. He is going in as a corman. He is signed on as a hospital corman.  Today he went to the recruit station to get signed in, it is also his birthday. Tomorrow morning his parents and I are meeting up with some of his other family to watch him get sworn in. Then we are going to the airport to be with him until he leaves. When he first talked about joining up I was a wreak. I cried when I was alone if I started to think about it. Then I got more and more use to the idea. Then I was ok with it, it became another part of me. These last few days have been really hard tho. Because it is real - it is here; he is leaving. I cried when we were lying together the last two nights. But tomorrow, I will be strong. I don't want to let myself cry in front of him tomorrow because he doesn't need to worry about me. His mom will be a wreak, and his dad is trying to be strong, but I think that he will break down tomorrow because I could hear it in his voice today when he was talking to me. 

So, that's my story. How did you deal with seeing your Sailor off, and the first few weeks of boot camp?
