Newly Enlisted Hubby in Air Guard
Hey there fellow Nesties!
I'm struggling with the fact that my husband will be away for 6 months for bootcamp and tech school for the Air Guard. We have been together since I was 13 and he was 15, and lived with my family for 3 years until we moved out on our own when we became engaged. He is my best friend and the love of my life.
The one reassuring factor I have is my faith in God. He brought us together, and he will keep us strong, that I know. Unfortunately, that doesn't change the fact that I will miss him terribly and will have to face life alone for 6 months. I've never had to be alone before.
Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere.
Psalm 84:10 NIV

Re: Newly Enlisted Hubby in Air Guard
Just keep in mind that couples go through this all the time and survive. Find some peace in the fact that you know where he will be and once gets phone privileges he will be able to call you. Being alone is very hard, especially the first time.
Keep yourself busy and surround yourself with people who love you and care about you.
Stay strong!
While he may not be physically with you, you are not alone. You still have each other. Stop focusing on the bad and focus on the good. This is a good thing for you. Take this time to learn how to be with your self and enjoy time on your own. You are going to learn things about your self that you never knew. Take up a hobby. Hit the gym hard. Do some things for your self. It will make you stronger and make your relationship stronger.
Hi! I agree with everything TX said. You are not alone. Stay busy.
What got me through basic and tech school was the massive amount of letters I wrote to him. He has also told me how wonderful getting all those letters were. It helped me feel like I was still connected to him, and was a supportive boost for him.
Is your husband in the Air Guard too? I was planning on writing him a letter everyday as well... I feel like this will be a really good thing for he and I to go through.
