My boyfriend who just graduated high school (18 years old) just signed up to be a quartermaster. I will be 16 next month and a sophomore in high school. We have been together for 6 months, and I am completely dreading the date he leaves for boot camp. I can barely even think about it without tearing up. He is my best friend, and i know i'm young but we really are in love. And i know i will get criticized for saying this, but we have already talked about marriage and stuff. We are just crazy about each other, that's what I'm trying to say.
But anyways, I'm a wreck. We both agreed we want to stay together and try to work through this, but I can't imagine how hard it's going to be. We have trouble going two days without seeing each other, what is 3 months going to be like? Then deployment? I'm crying writing this now. I just can't imagine what it's going to be like not being able to call him when I need to hear his voice or something. Don't get me wrong, I'm so proud of him and happy for him, but I just don't know if I can handle this. Please, any advice would be SO appreciated :) thank you, god bless ♥ Posted on 06/09/12, 09:47 pm |

I know exactly how you feel...my boyfriend will be 18 next March, but wont graduate until the fallowing year. But when he graduates, I will be a junior. He is planning on going in the Army, and I cant think about being away from him while im in school. I not sure how to handle it myself, but if you need someone to talk to, im here

Im 16 and my boyfriend is almost 19. He was planning on joining the army last year but i told him not to because i fell pregnant. I feel guilty for telling him not to live his dream. I told him im sorry and he told me he is still considering it. I never thought he was being so serious. We have been together since i was 14. And i am pregnant with our second child.
I cant imagine him being away from us. I cant imagine the thoughts of him never coming home. If he never meets his second baby. I dont want to have to cope on my own, the thought of it scares me. The thought of only having letters and mobiles to keep in contact scares me. How will he hear his babies cry. You should do some research about the army/navy service. done a lot today, and it has reasurred my fears a lot. I learnt that me and my children will get a lot of support, there will be a lot of ways to keep in contact. You should talk to him. If you ever want to talk let me know, we can help each other a long the way. Chin up sweetie x

speaking as somebody who has done the whole "being away from loved ones for a long period of time" thing, you do what you can to get by.... you distract yourself, you come up with new hobbies, you send him care packages and then go crazy waiting for them to get there to surprise him. it won't be easy. but one of my ex's said the proudest moment she ever had of me was when i got home from iraq. standing in formation in my uniform, looking proud to be a soldier. i think it'll be the same for you. above anything else, remember that some sacrifices have to be made by all parties involved, but that it isn't the end of the world, and you already have a good support system set up here

I know how you are feeling. Both my boyfriend and I are 17 and he is currently at boot camp this summer. He is in the national guard. He decided within a week to enlist. It all happened so fast. We have been dating for almost 2 years now. I'm in a little different situation then you because I only get to see my boyfriend once a week if I'm lucky. But I do know how it feels not being able to hear his voice when I need to. I really didn't think I would be able to do this. To stay strong for him, to hold on to our love, and to keep it going strong. I thought this summer would go by so slowly, but it is going faster than I ever imagined. I would highly recommend staying busy! That is the easiest. I have 2 summer jobs, and I still visit his family whenever I can. I'll be completely honest though. Nights are always the toughest. I've cried myself to sleep many nights because I just lay there and think about him. But sleeping in his shirts and having some of his body spray make it so much easier. If you need anything, don't hesitate to message me!
