Chinadoll, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your boyfriend. I was amazed to hear that you're 6 year anniversary is on Sunday because Brian and I have also been dating for 6 years as of that date. Brian, now my husband for almost 2 years, is also in the military. He is in the Army and we are currently stationed at Ft. Hood, Texas. I completely know how you feel. We've been expecting it for a while though, but Brian's company has also recieved orders. We don't know where he's going for sure, or even when, we just know they have orders. Around here, dates have changed so often, it's scary that he's going to have to go sooner than we thought. Infact, we're sure of that, we just don't know how soon. If you ever need somebody to talk to, I'm here for you. Brian and I have never been through this before either, but we're kind of lucky that his Uncle was in Desert Storm and so his aunt is there for me to talk to any time I want and need to understand the wife's view point.
Most people around here keep telling me to do what it sounds like you're doing. Try to stay strong for them because they need our support right now. It's so hard to do, but I do understand what they mean. They also tell me to just take one day at a time and you will get through it. I hope my words can help you some, but I know that not much helps knowing what faces these men as they are sent off for this ugly situation. Again, if you feel I can be of any help or you just want somebody to vent to, I understand because I often feel that way, so just email me or pm me. I will try my best to be there for you! Many people around here keep telling me that that's what we military families need to do, become a family also and get through this together. You're not alone in this!

Here's a pic from one of my senior proms where Brian wore his Class A's. This was from about 3 years ago, as of this coming September 29, he'll be in 4 years!
