That's great you'll be here for the next few years.... I know we're here until t least April and then after that I don't know! It's a little stressful because I finally found this job that I LOVE and we are having a lot of fun in San Diego so I'm just keeping my fingers crosses!!
You know, since you'll be here for a few more years I think it would be okay to get a pet. You still have time before you'll be moving and it's not that hard to move with pets these days! It really is great to have Kelly around when my husband is gone! Are you on Facebook? There's a group on there for navy wives without kids.... They plan all kinds of get togethers and girls nights and stuff and they're a fun group of girls!
Oh wow, I seriously thought I replied to your comment a loooong time ago -__- I'm so sorry!
But um, we both grew up in Oceanside and met in high school during a music concert we both were in. That was about 5 years ago. We didn't actually start dating until 2 months before he left for boot camp, and am going on to 6 months now. It sucks that more than half of the time we've been apart, but that's the lifestyle of the navy right? How bout you two?! How did you guys meet?
And yeah, I work and go to school here. Trying to get my BS at UCSD in the next year or two while working this boring intern job for an online company. How about you? Do you work or go to school here?
Yeah, in total I think it's like 1.5 years worth of training. In some ways though, him being in one place for sure for that long is a little reassuring. I agree with you though, boot camp helped us grow "apart" enough to prepare us for all this distance. Haha A School doesn't seem so bad after those 2 months of nothing but letters.
But wow, an entire year! Have you two been together the entire time?
Work and school full time is a lot of work! But so rewarding once you finish. I graduated a semester early and worked all through school also full time!
I work full time, downtown, and I love it! That's another reason I hope we stay :) although I do miss staying home with our puppy!
That's so awesome! He and I grew up in Oceanside, so we're reeaaallly hoping that he gets stationed here in SD too, but people keep telling me it's not going to happen because the navy likes to station people far away from home. Glad to know that it happens though! :)
Sadly, I'm stuck here while he's in A School. But he's a Nuke ET and is in Goose Creek for A School for the next...year? Then there's Prototype, so he won't be getting stationed anywhere for at least another 1.5 years.
How long has your guy been in the navy?
Hello there! I'm so new to all this that it's always great to meet new Navy SO's! :) What's your bf/husband's rate? My boyfriend's finished boot camp a month ago and now he's in A School.
