I dated a guy in the Navy for about a year. I knew him from back in high school. I went to college in NC, and the Navy based him in San Diego, CA. So, we had a super long distance relationship. I guess my best advice would just be to have patience. Military jobs can be very uncertain at times... they don't always know where they will be or what they will be doing. That was hard for me to deal with at first because we could never make difinite plans. As for when they when they go on deployment, you have to have a lot of trust for one another and be commited to making it work. My ex was on a carrier, so he was still able to e-mail and call when he was out to sea. We also wrote lots and lots of letters. I also got to know a lot of his Navy friends and their girlfriends & wives. We all kept in constant contact when the boys where gone, it was nice to have that support network.

Well I think the majority knows how I feel about Navy boys.

That's what I get for going after a youngster.....shoulda waited till he was a more mature firstie.

Nah, firsties are too full of themselves. Best to wait 'til they are commissioned Ensigns and their egos are bumped down a notch.

I had no idea we had Navy boys in common, DGqueen! I KNEW I liked you! :) I don't know your Navy boy story, though. Do you have a link if you posted it here?

Yea you are probably right about the firsties....hmmm I do believe his brother just got commissioned perhaps I chose the wrong one. Haha. ;)

Anyway the saga unfolds here

Fuck all this Navy shit, if I was going to be in the military I'd join the Marine Core.

If he didn't get you a plush Bill to snuggle with, he needs a swift kick in the shins with pointy shoes.

KR knows all about Bill!

She is so right, wait until after graduation, I think there is something in the water in Bancroft Hall.

ETA: cashmoney it is Marine CORPS

Oh I def got a Bill;) Of course I don't really want it anymore.

Bancroft Hall is pretty....

Bill is a wonderful friend, he doesn't hog the bed, he is travel sized for your convenience, always stylish in gold and blue, he listens to what you have to say, and doesn't leave dirty clothes around the house (because you know those mids get their laundry done for them, and have no concept of a hamper), lastly he doesn't hog the remote control.

He was quite the comfort when I had multiple surgery as well, and even got bandaged up similarly so I wouldn't feel so self conscious.

Forget your youngster, just stick with Bill until graduation!!!

Heh good deal. Although the Navy image fits well the whole Delta Gamma anchor.

Well once your hormones kick in you arer kind of stuck, but I would say if you have a choice, don't fall in love with someone in the military unless he is about to get out.

It can be a lot of seperation and uncertainty otherwise.

Nothing goes down quicker. :D

Who the hell is Bill? :confused: I know chicks who know Bob, but no Bill. :rolleyes:

Bill the Goat is the Naval Academy's mascot...
