Hi, My name's Rae, I'm a 17/f. My 19 yr old boyfriend just left for the Navy like, an hour ago. He's going to basic training and I won't be able to talk to him on the phone as often or see him at all until 9 weeks (His family and I are driving to Chicago for his graduation in late March). I just need to know how I can deal with this. It's so hard for me to be away from someone that I truly love. We've been together for so long and I feel so out of place without him. Please, help. Love, Rae. (link)

hey rae, omg i know exactly how you feel. me and my boyfriend went through the exact same thing last year. and im goign to be honest with you...its going to be really hard at first...but then he will mail you a letter w/ his address about 2 weeks after he leave and you can start writing him. i wrote my boyfirned every single day. he says it helped him alot. they really tear the boys down in bootcamp. so just write him as often as you can w/ happy news and good encouraging words. never tell him anythign bad and please dont break up w/ him while he is there. he will probablly get to call once or twice...i missed my boyfirneds first call and felt horrible so alwasy have your fone w/ you. but n/e ways i hoped this helped. i promise that after he starts sending you letters (about one a week) it will get alot easier! the navy does alot of good for the men and women! ...oh and one other thing....idk what his recruiter told you or him. but after bootcamp you go to his grad. and spend the weekend w/ him. then he is off to school for how ever long. he doesnt get to come home unitl that is over with. you can go up there but he cant leave. my boyfirned was gone almost a year before he came home again but he was told he would come home after basic. it was hard but its been a year and we are doing
great!
okay i dont know how i was supposed to write you back but this is the only way i could figure it out. anyways yeah i have a myspace and an email. my email is xxsuthurnbabiixx@aim.com. and idk my myspace deal so just send me yours if you have one and ill get in touch with you that way. im glad i helped!

Thanks so much! You really helped a lot. I already knew about all that stuff, he told me about it. And no, I'm not going to break up with him, haha, we plan on getting married! But hey, I'd like to ask you more questions about the Navy thing so if you have a screen name or something let me know!
