My husband just got his shipdate for end of Sept. so I will be a coastie wife in Nov. when he finishes bootcamp. We just got married at the end of April '10. I'm excited for him because this is his dream and wants to make a career out of it. I'm going to miss him when he goes to bootcamp but we started our relationship long distance and was long distance for about 4 years so I'm not worried about him being gone...I think I've got a leg up on that part. (Hopefully) And I'm excited to be able to travel and experience new places. Any information and knowledge people want to share will be much appreciated.

Hi Jenn,

One small correction... you will be a Coastie wife in September! Your days start the same day as his since you are already married. Many congratulations to both of you. You are right about having a leg up on the distance thing but keep in mind the communication will be very limited. The distance and separation aren't so bad but the no talking, no texting, no emailing... of course just when you are getting used to it, he'll be graduating. If you have any questions, jump right in and ask, we'll do our best to help.

Best of luck,
Macie

Congrats on the new marriage and ship date for your hubby! Welcome!
