Training
Well today is my first day of processing. It was quite an adventure as I traveled from Maryland to Chicago then to LA. First was the moment I walked through the security check point and looked back at John who was waving solemnly as I keep going through the agonizing process of taking my shoes off, my laptop out, my hairpins out...... As I finished redressing I realized I couldn't see him anymore and at the moment it hit me I was going away for 6 months and would be able to kiss his lips, hold his hand, roll my eyes at him, fuss at him or show him how much I truly love him. I broke down at the moment started bawling as I walked down the terminal to find my gate. The lump formed in my throat and then the crocodile tears started pouring. I finally regained my composure as I saw a fellow ship mate on the same journey as me. He was prior enlisted and this was his second deployment in about 6 years. We talked about the trip and quickly I realized I am not the only having these feelings and it would get better!!

those living quarters were really tight.. thats almost as close as in college but atleast in college you had less people...
exactly. and u didnt have to be so close to everyone
I don't know how I would make it in those quarters. I need my space! And I can't deal with the snoring at night! How long did you have to endure that?
As far as leaving John...I empathize with you. I know I would be so devastated. :(
