I've just sort of been lurking the past week or so since I joined. I thought I'd finally introduce myself.
I'm a girl from South Carolina who grew up in the military lifestyle (my dad was in the Air Force). We never moved around (very rare!), but I am very familiar with the military lifestyle. I always said I wouldn't want to date a military guy.
A year ago (well, on June 22nd), I met a guy in a local pub one night while I was out. I had recently been dumped and wasn't looking to even talk to guys that night. Instead, I found myself talking with this guy, who informed me he was in the Coast Guard. At the end of the night, he asked for my number.
Through some ups and downs, we started dating in August of last year. Then, this May, he got his new orders, which take him out to California. I have one more year of a work commitment here before I can join. Mix in time that he'll be out to sea (with VERY limited communication) and you've got a picture of what we're facing as we attempt long distance from the East to West Coast of the US.
Not really here for advice or anything right now, just looking for support and others in similar situations.
