My boyfriend is in the Marine Corp and is currently deployed to Afghanistan. His unit is part of a six month rotation there. He has been gone for about 2 months now. In the 3 years that we have been together this is the first time we have been apart for more than about a month. It was really hard for me to deal with at first, but everyday things get a little easier. I have been lucky in that where they are currently located he has phone access, so I am able to talk to him about once a week. The mail system is slow, but I get letters from him every couple of weeks. I guess the hardest thing is that I feel like he is missing out on a lot going on back at home. He shipped out on Valentine's day, he'll be away for our anniversary, my birthday, and my college graduation. I'm sure I'll miss him a little bit more on those special occasions.
