New to this!
Hi everyone! My wife literally just shipped out for the army this morning! We’re 23 and 24 (both women) and I am so scared for these next few months! She is doing the ARMS program first and then going to basic depending on when she is within requirements at ARMS. So she’s going to be gone awhile. I just graduated with my bachelors and have decided to live with my parents to save money and pay off debt until she is moved to her next stop, the DLI, and I am able to move with her.
I’m struggling to find a job within my degree and told myself I wouldn’t go back to serving. I know finding an entry level career job when I won’t be there for even a year is kind of silly but I’m so eager to get my foot in the door, I don’t want the gap in my resume. I’m just scared of everything. I have a big trip coming up where I’ll be gone for 2 weeks and I just know after the rush of that, it’s all going to hit me.
I’m afraid I’ll just come crashing down. We’ve been together for almost 5 years and haven’t gone more than 2 weeks apart. I know I’ll eventually get used to it and it’ll get better but if anyone has any advice for the awful beginning I’m begging!!!
