Hi Jen,

This is a common issue when being in a relationship with someone in the military. My son will be studying at the Academy and afterwards would be stationed God knows where. I know there is are websites and forums for Coast Guard and other military spouses and girlfriends/boyfriends.

For you specifically, breaking into advertising can be tough, but you could theoretically be a graphic designer anywhere with a computer. So the two months you might be in limbo anyway even if you knew where you were going.

If he were stationed in, say, Alaska, that would be bad news. But in general you should be in good shape. There will be cities and civilization where he ends up and the worst that could happen is you live maybe an hour away from him.

I don’t know, it’s tough. Check out support networks for this one!

Good Luck!
