I'm depressed.
My gf just joined the Navy. Which sucks for me, because she's going to be moving away, and I won't be able to see her at all for LONG periods of time. First, there's boot camp for 3 months out-of-state, then training in another state even farther away, then to her base, which we don't know where. Then there's the required 6-month-at-sea thing...
I wonder if it possible to die from lonliness. I discovered it is truly possible to worry oneself sick...

Awwww =( That sucks. I know what you mean about worrying yourself sick over somthing (literally)
But from what you post you both seem a strong couple :3 So i guess this is just one of those hurdles?..Hope its easy for you both to stay in contact though.

First, there's boot camp for 3 months out-of-state, Unless things have changed drastically USN boot camp is still only eight weeks long (up near one of the great lakes iirc). It really shouldn't be too bad, considering they'll allow snail-mail at boot and email/telephone (probably) wherever else she goes. =)

Yeah, it was my bad. 8 weeks in boot camp, then 14 weeks in training.
Eud, you're in the Navy, right? Were you allowed to live off-base in the academy right after boot camp? (my gf is going to the one in Pensicola, FL.)

Gah, it'd be nice if I were; but my epilepsy rendered me unfit for service in any of the armed forces (kinda sucks for one who spent most of their formative years planning on a career in the Marines).
I'm fairly certain, though, that during training she'll have to live on base.

I never knew you had epilepsy! Eh, you learn something new every day. But yeah, that must suck for you being rendered unfit T^T

Eudemic isn't in the navy!? This is blasphemy!!
That must suck, so I guess you have to settle for row boats and whatever sailing vessels you can get your hands on.
