I talked to Nick this morning!! Yay! Well sort of... apparently his recruiter wasn't completely honest with him (they never are sneaky devils) and the job he signed up for is gone 75% of the year. He said he was thinking about switching to a diver which is gone the same amount of time but is more sporatic and not in one long chunk. When I asked if it was more dangerous he said pretty much everything is dangerous. That really didn't make me feel better. He said he likes boot camp but he misses everyone so much. He told me to tell everyone to write to him. Just in case you don't have his address it's:
SR Miller, Nick, S.
DIV 437 USS KEARSARGE
BLDG. 7114
Recruit Training Command
Great Lakes, IL 60088
So everyone write him! Or if you don't have time send me an email and tell me what you would like me to write him. He really needs all the support from those who love him right now.
Ok I post more when I know more

Can he look at your blog? I'll write to him! That is so hard! Hope you are doing ok too!
I think you should put some of your family pictures on here, they were ALL so good!
So he'd be gone for 9 months, home for 3? What did he think the split was? Would that last the whole initial tour, or just the first year or something?
He wrote me and it was a little sad. I'm glad to hear he is liking boot camp though.
