Cutting Containment My boyfriend is heading off to bootcamp at the end of this month...I wish him luck, but I'll miss him. <33; If you go to his boot camp graduation, it's one of the greatest things in the world seeing them again. I went to my brother's graduation, it was really cool. San Diego was great. Write him if you can, it helped me. I know it's not anywhere near the same when it's your boyfriend though.

I hope I can get to his graduation. I figured I'd write him every chance I got, send everything once a week just so he's not overflowed with letters. ^^; It's not the same, but it's something and that's a whole hell of a lot better than nothing.

It's hard, but it's all worth it when you get to see them graduate. It's a really cool thing to see. He's in California correct? That's where my brother went for boot camp. It's a beautiful place to visit.

South Carolina actually. I'm currently trying to figure out how to get there without paying way too much. Either way I look at it, I might be paying around 800-900 bucks to get there and eat and stuff.
@_@; And a 16 hour train ride to boot. But I will so be ready to tackle-glomp him and kiss him all over when I see him next. I just can't afford to be paying a heck of a lot of cash, considering I'm a college student now.

Well, you've got good friends because they're worried. There's really no set way to ease someone's mind over a choice like that because everyone's different. Telling them over and over again you'll be fine sometimes works, other times promising them you'll write and keep in touch and let them know what's happening helps, or explaining another part of what your future job would in tale can work too. For example, if you're not planning to go directly into infantry let them know. Or if you are, tell them about other things that they don't hear from the news, like maybe how what you'd be doing also means going and feeding starving children or working at the base preparing things for another group...or something that doesn't directly sound like you could get hurt/killed.
I was worried sick about what would happen to my boyfriend because he's in the marines (now- but before I was panicking). I didn't want to let him go there because of all the crap I heard on the news, how people are getting killed left and right. But then I reminded myself, as well as he did too, that that's not all that happens. The news normally tells all the bad that's going on, not the good, not the small things like feeding hungry children or caring to a hospital full of ill people. They don't tell those stories as often because the ratings aren't that high when they do, and as sad as that is, it's good therefore to remind your friends that there's a ton of better things going on that are, shall we say, behind the scenes....and you'd be a part of that.

Ugh...
My oldest brother just got called back into Active Duty.
He's infantry...
I just worry about him. I really don't want him to go back to Iraq. He was called over to Kansas City to get his assignment. We haven't heard from him in a week or two...I'm pretty sure he'll call when he gets his assignment.
I don't think that they would call him back to being a roadie though. He was a roadie with the Marine Corps band the majority of his enlistment...
;--; I miss him...I really want to see him before he goes wherever it is he's going.

When is the last time I posted in here huh? *Horrid when it comes to updates sometimes*
So things got busy lately. Here's the list of updates, shortest version I can come up with;
- I saw Ryan graduate, simply put I decided the hell with the camera because it was taking up too much of my time. I saw the whole thing and it'll be locked in my memories forever, it's honestly one of THE most awesome things I've ever witnessed in my life.
- Ryan came home for his 10 day leave, we spent every day together, once again I had the time of my life because he's the only person I know that I can be around and be able to smile every minute. He's such a great guy, and the hair cut, oh boy did I have fun.
- Ryan left for his MCT training at the end of October, right before Halloween and our two year anniversary. It sucked letting him go again, because for those 10 days I got extremely close to him again, I guess it's always going to be hard letting go.
- My Marine graduated from MCT, we didn't go down because apparently it's not much of anything and they get really no time to see anyone. He went a little ways away, still in the same main camp to pick up his MOS schooling.
- On December 20th Ryan returned home for a 14 day leave, Christmas came early for me this year.
- On Christmas day, early evening I went to his parent's house for Christmas dinner and to watch him open up his gifts. Including a brand new cell phone among a s**t load of chocolates and sugar, just what he needs eh? None the less he brought me up to his room and asked me to marry him. I didn't scream as I wanted to for fear of his family thinking he had killed me or something, but trust me, I was wired all the rest of the night. I kinda' still am.
- He leaves back to MOS schooling down in North Carolina on January 1st. I'm not looking forwards to letting him leave, it really does take a chunk out of someone allowing their loved one to part. But we'll see each other some day again.
( Special Note: On November 30th, after some time of debating it I decided that College just wasn't what I needed in life. Thus, I swore in and became a United States Navy Recruit. Originally I was going to be heading to boot camp in IL in late March, but they bumped me up and now I'm leaving Jan. 9th. This makes the relationship with my Fiance more stressful, but certainly not impossible, I don't think so at least. I can't wait to get in to my own career, I'm so wickedly pumped, but I am at the same time battling what to do and how to keep in touch with Ryan. There's so many issues now surrounding our relationship, and this isn't the perfect time to put such strains ontop of the original ones, but it happened and now all I can do is make the best of what we've got. Hopefully we see each other before he leaves back to NC and I can hug him once more, I think it might do us both some good. Anyways, that's all my updates for 'ya. )

@ CC -
I tried to do that to my fiance (then bf) when he graduated boot... but untill he was an ACTUAL marine, not a recruit, I could only hold his hand, I couldn't kiss him, and it had to be his left hand so he could salute.
SO HARD.
I just drooled all over him.
