After two and a half months of basic training my boyfriend finally graduated. I was first able to see him for family day and as soon as the presentation was over and we could go up to our soldiers I literally ran to my boyfriend and slammed into him with a hug. The rest of the day he had to stay in uniform so he was a little nervous about doing things right cuz he didn't want to get in trouble. But after his graduation he was able to stay with us Friday until a few hours ago. He could actually wear civilian clothes and not have to worry. It felt so good to finally be with him again after all this time. He didn't seem too different, if anything he's a little more mature but he still acts his same goofy self with me and is still sweet. He even stayed the night in the hotel with me and I think being able to fall asleep and wake up to him was one of the best parts of the trip. But not that long ago we had to bring him back because tomorrow he starts schooling for his actual job. Having to leave Was so hard. He's my best friend and after having such a good time this weekend it was so hard to let go. Luckily his school is8 weeks long and he can come home for about a month afterwards. I can't wait to see him again, it's so hard to be apart from him. I'm glad I came out to see him and being with him made me the happiest I've been since he ledt

I share the same sentiments. My husband is working off-shore and he gets 2 weeks off every 10 weeks. It really is so nice to see him again after so long. So I know how happy you really are seeing your man again. As much as we want to be always with them, sometimes we have to make some sacrifices. All we have to do is be supportive of our men's career and let them do their thing. Soon, we will all benefit from it because we all have to work for our future.

Yikes I understand how you feel. It definitely gets very hard sometimes. The worst is seeing all the other couples around you holding hands and doing stuff together and you can't be with the one you love. I had such a good time seeing him this past weekend but it just wasn't long enough for me. I can't wait to see him again after these next 8 weeks.

I was definitely happy when I saw him. But dropping him back off on the army base yesterday was so hard to do. I got used to being with him that the goodbye was really hard and I'm still sad and upset I had to leave him. Luckily he's out of boot camp so now he can at least talk to me these next few weeks until I get to see him again.

Hey you must have enjoyed the company of boyfriend, it is nice on. Now when the time comes to departure it is but natural that you will feel dishearten but keep in mind my friend that duty comes first and let he pursue his career. There is lot of time in your life to enjoy with him. Wish him all the best with lots of love and smile on your face.
