Well, this question has probably been asked before, but I couldn't find a thread anywhere near recent.
My SO and I have been dating (most of the time from 1,000 miles away) for 11 months now. For a long time he's expressed serious interest in joining the military, but recently he made the solid decision to join the US Navy on active duty once he loses enough weight and finds himself to be physically prepared enough for boot camp. He is in close contact with a recruiter and has been working out every day. He seems pretty committed.
As for myself, though... I'm a little less comfortable. Of course I will support this decision and stand by him 100%. I'm just worried about how we'll handle the constant uncertainty and slew of curve balls this will throw us.
I'm pretty sure we can adjust with all of this, as we're used to being so far away in the first place. But is anyone else on here a military SO? If so, do you have any advice for me? It would be MUCH appreciated.
I'm seventeen and this is the first serious relationship I've ever been in... and it is very serious. A lot more serious than either of us intended it to be, but we roll with it just fine. So needless to say ANY sort of advice would be great in the first place. P:
Thank you!!
