It's all new to me...

This entire Military world is new to me.

My boyfriend left for boot camp a week ago and then is going to Coronado in January for BUD/S. I know it is going to be tough and lonesome for me but I am excited for him and extremely proud. This is what he has wanted to do with his life and will not be satisfied any other way. As much as I mean to him, I know that the SEALS will always come first, that is something I am just going to have to deal with. (I am okay with that) My friend just moved to Oceanside (for the second time) to move with her husband who is returning from Iraq. Seeing how she does it gives me so much hope and strength for mine and my boyfriends future.

Sometimes, for a split second, I think... "Is this worth it?" and I really feel in my heart that I want to be with him, through everything. I am blessed to have him in my life. Although I may not be able to see him for months at a time, knowing that he cares about me is all I need to get through the day. I miss him already and it has only been a week, but it will make our relationship stronger in the end. And I can focus on my goals and dreams while he is focusing on his.

Right now I don't know any one going through the same situation as I am but I hear the support system for military significant others is amazing. I can not wait to be apart of that and have people around me that understand what I am experiencing.

I've wanted to be a SEAL since I was kid, who hasn't, and have spent the last few years training for it. Hopefully if all goes well I'll ship off to boot camp by next summer and then go to BUD/s. I just wanted to let you see the male perspective on it. I am not in the military yet so I'm not going to pretend I know everything but everyone knows what kinda of job it is and how distant you will be from your loved ones. SEALs is tough for any individual trying to pursue that career and for and girlfriend or wife it can be just as tough staying behind and waiting. Just like the military isn't for everyone neither is be the girlfriend or wife who has to live that life. I want to say this I admire how dedicated you our to your relationship with your boyfriend in fact I envy that. I am only 20 years of age and my girlfriend is only 18 so we are both young, therefore she will not stand by my side and wait when I leave. As much as that sucks I cannot force any girl to do what you are willing to do, which is why they attitude you have right now makes all the difference for your boyfriend and in the end for yourself. If all else fails you can say you tried and did all you could which goes a lot farther than bailing out right before your boy leaves for boot.
