reader, anonymous, writes (27 February 2008): My boyfriend of three years left for basic four days ago. He got to call me when he got there. That last phone call was pretty hard. I honestly didnt think it was going to be this difficult. I found what helps me is at the end of every day or if im missing him really bad I write him a little something. Its like im talking to him in a way. It lets me get out everything I would want to say to him. It really helps me get through the day. He obviously cant read it right then and there but you know he will sooner or later. I try and think of the positive outcome of all this. I think being a girlfriend in general can be pretty tough at times, but being a military girlfriend/wife is the toughest of all.. I mean come on were sexually deprived for every one elses freedom..

He has to do his 12 weeks basic training first, then his trade training comes after that. Easter leave comes somewhere in between followed by summer leave in August.
If he makes it that far (and not everyone does) you'll have a man to be proud of. He'll need your support, and it does get easier over time. Once he's in the Navy 'proper' there's no reason why you couldn't go wherever he goes in the UK.
When he goes to sea it will be a different matter, but there are many women who'll find themselves in the same position as yourself and you'd be surprised how close the WAG's become.
Another thing - he's unlikely to earn as much stacking shelves in a supermarket or flogging hamburgers!
