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.
