So when I was in bootcamp I kept getting told "you didnt join the Navy to make friends." So as I went throught "A" school I had this mentality of "its only me" and wuite frankly that was driving me insane...I was all alone and never did anything. Well you read my other blog about Andrew. SO as i went through the Navy I made other friends. But there are only 2 that I really want to keep in touch with. At least 2 that are in the Navy with me and have been there for me thru thick and thin.
I met them onboard the USS Ronald Reagan. I call us the TRIO! Kortni, Kimber and me. WE have been thru so much together, deployment, people screwing all of us over, a pregnancy and even not talking to eachother for like 3 months. But still we are all friends and even room mates. IT has struck me just recently like in the last couple of days that I only have a short time left with these 2 amazing girls. Granted, we have all had differences but these girls are like my sisters and I would be heartbroken if I ever lost touch with them. Since I had a baby, I am not onboard the ship with them anymore and they are leaving very soon to go on deloyment and then they will be back for a couple months and then I am out of the navy and am leaving them. Will we stay in touch? I hope so...because if it werent for these girls, I dont know i would have made it thorough the things I have. Its a support group but not for like alcohol or anything but for eachother. We are friends and we stick together. I will miss these girls so much and I hope we can hang out after we are done.
I leave you with this...Keep those who have been there for you close and dont forget those people because they will be the ones who have your back and are your support group when you need it...

I am so glad that you found Kortni and Kimber. Sometimes I feel bad about not being in California with you, but after meeting Kortni I feel a zillion times better! Kortni is such a cool chick, as I'm sure Kimber is.
ReplyDeleteYou are so good at staying in touch with people, Heather. I don't think you'll lose them!
