hey! ahh i long your long messages lol it makes me feel better.. umm well now since this stupidass hurricane looks like it's goin there way, i have no idea if i'm even gonna be able to go up there friday.. i probably won't even know till friday but it def. doesn't look good.. they're saying it could be up to a category 3 when it hits and they still don't know for sure where that's gonna be.. if it starts going there way or anywhere close..he won't be able to leave the base and they will have to put sand bags up cause of the flooding.. scary. but he will still be home for a month so that's good i'm just so frustrated because the fact he's gonna be so far away.. and now this. i'm really happy for him.. he's pretty excited and i know it'll be an amazing experience .. and he's gonnna help pay when i come up there.. it just sucks so much ya know. they are 7 hours ahead over there which isn't as bad as i thought.. i thought it was like a day but i'm an idiot lol .. sean and i have def. been talking about marriage but i'm JUST about to turn 18 in november so we probably wouldn't be engaged for at least a year but who knows. i went to his house today and his mom said during the less traveled months like sept and around there and then the beginning of the year tickets go down to around $600 which is grrrrrreat for me lol. and he wants me to go up there for the summer and stay for like a month or something but idk what i would do while he's working lol. i'm trying to think of it in the best ways possible otherwise i just fall apart and he says he thinks he'll be able to come home for christmas but his dad was in the navy for a longass time and he doesn't know if they would let him come home for christmas and stuff since he would have only been there for like 2 months but it would be extremly nice of them.. ha. So for now i just kinda have to hope this super hurricane will turn it's ass around and go somewhere else so i can get my vacation! well thanks for all the help it's nice talking to ya! talk to you soon <33 oh yeah he's gonna be in italy for 2 years he doesn't have to live on the ship and he doesn't have to set to sea either.

hey girl how have you been?! i haven't talked to you lately so i hope your doin good! I'm going to Pensacola Friday for the holiday weekend and he'll be in phase 3 so he gets to spend the night with us and doesn't have to be back till 10pm on monday so i'm really happy about that! He found out where he gets stationed today and i wasn't too happy at all actually i was extremly upset but now i'm doing better.. he's gonna be stationed in Sigonella, Italy.. i know it's going to be pretty hard he's gonna be there for 2 years but i'm really excited for him also.. he's gonna still be able to get the same amount of leave, he won't have to live on the ship or set to sea, he'll get paid more, he gets a month to come home after school, and he'll most likely well hopefully be home for christmas and new years and he'll be able to come home for my prom :) it's gonna be a shitload to go there i was lookin at plane tickets and all i could find was around $1200 just for a ticket! of course i have no idea what i was doing either but i imagined it would be up there.. but he's gonna help pay. I just found out a few hours ago so i haven't talked to his mom about when were going up there but if he isn't able to be here for like new years which i'm really hoping he is but if not we're gonnna go up there then and i know next summer i'm gonna go up there for a few weeks cause i won't have to pay for a hotel i'll be able to stay with him ..so he says lol but i think it'd be cool to stay in a hotel there too.. and when i go with his family we're gonna take a train into europe and all around there so i'm really excited about going it's just so expensive and far! well sorry i just wrote my life storty lol but i had to tell more than just my friends at home cause they try but they don't know much of where i'm coming from! lol well hope to talk to you soon! do you know where vin is going to be stationed? well if he hasn't taken that test yet tell him to freakin study to the max casue that plays a big part on where you get stationed.. better the grade you get first pick. sean gotta 90 but there was like 14 people in his class that got a 100 and then they go down from there and the choices were like washington, san diego, virginia, italy, japan and i think a few others i'm not sure what was left when he picked but we'll def. make the best of italy lol. talk to you soon!

About me:
Im a new navy grilfriend since june3 2008. the love of my life, vincent is currently in boot.his PIR is 8/1/08 and im so excited! after that hes gonna train for navy corpsman.so proud of him!Ive never been away from him for more than 5 days before,so its been tough, ive found found comfort in viewing this site.Helps to know you're not alone.People here have answered a lot of my questions about bootcamp and what to expect, hope to do the same for you guys :)
I am here to support or represent my:
Vincent
Stage of (Sailor’s) Navy Career?
Enlisted
When I heard “Navy,” I:
Was concerned or afraid, Was confused, Needed to learn more about it
From my experience with the Navy, the most important thing I learned was:
its as hard for them as it is for u
Through this Navy experience, I now believe:
Our relationship has grown stronger, This was a maturing experience
To truly love something, you must first give it a chance to fail. If it survives, it is going to be stronger than ever. Distance is pure proof of this, and forever we will love if we survive.
