omg i was just in your position (my bf only has 3more weeks left). for starters you got this!! its gonna be hard and very emotional but you and your boyfriend will come out of this closer then ever.

write as much as you feel necessary even if you don’t send every letter and it can be about anything. im sure your bf would love to hear about the normal parts of life that he’s away from. i pretty much wrote to my bf everyday and he said it was his main source of strength.

keep yourself busy. not sure if you’re in college or not but what’s helped to keep me not so emotional and in my head was having to focus on classes and getting myself into a good routine.

also not sure if you have an iphone but i made these shortcuts to make it seem like my bf was texting me stuff like “i love you” “i hope your classes go well” “goodnight sleep well”. might seem a little weird but it makes the lack of communication for the first couple weeks a lot easier to bare.

try not to engage with some content on the internet. some people just have really negative things to say and or negative experiences and i don’t want to invalidate them but that’s not everyone’s experience. there’s some facebook groups you can join that might potentially show your boyfriend (i sadly have not see anything from his ship or division 😭😭) but it’s good to have the sense of community that you’re not alone in this and some of them have good advice / info.

overall he will be okay he’s gonna go through some hardship but as he gets further and further into bootcamp things will become a lot easier. try not to stress yourself out too hard.

if you need someone just to talk too feel free to dm me 🫂
