I don't like talking about personal issues on public forums, but I had a question for those with experience in this arena.
There is someone who I feel very strongly about, and we were talking about how difficult life is going to be for the next few years for each of us in our careers. She is going into the Navy as an Officer on ships (I still call them boats!) for the next 5 years. Me, I'll be starting out at FO wages and what not in the regionals (hopefully!).
It is really a long shot that I could be so lucky to have any kind of relationship with her. If it were to happen, would it have any chance for survival seeing as how our lives are going to be so different for the next half a decade? I even thought hard about getting my times up to be eligible for hire at a place like SkyWest or ACA, depending on a base assignment. I know, dumb thinks to be thinking about in a situation as mine.
Have any of you had situations like this? How did you deal with it? Did you have a strong relationship before the stresses came? Or did you start your relationship this way, then work it more into being together?
Who knows, might never come to be, but I'm going to go for it. Can't stand around all my life thinking about it.
