hes going to be killing, getting shot at etc... this makes for very aggressive nasty people. He probably wont sleep well at night. Basically hes going to be a complete mess.

 Firstly I sympathise with this situation but this is what your boyfriend does for a living and so he is excited and also maybe a little nervous about doing his job. Try and be supportive. I know it'll be a difficult time for you, but imagine how difficult a time it'll for him away from you, family, friend with the current situation as it is.......and the last thing he'll want is a tearful girlfriend wanting reassurance that he won't go off her! Why would he go off you? That's your insecurity and you must try to deal with that. He's going to be VERY busy and doing a duty of great importance. This means that he won't be able to devote a lot of time to you, but of course he can stay in touch and write etc. Try not to worry, it will just make things harder for both of you.
