Air force wife...

So I am not married nor am I in the air force but I am dating someone that is about to leave for his basic training in Texas. And of course he wants to do one of the most dangerous jobs you can do in the air force, special operations. I am all about supporting the troops and I think it is great that people want to serve for this country but I am selfish. I already barely see him because we live three hours away from each other so I don't think it will be too too hard to adjust to but it is still going to suck. For eight weeks we will only be able to communicate through letters in the mail. No calling, texting, or even emailing! Also, did I mention that he wants to do this for life! Meaning he will always be leaving and coming home but I won't ever know when. Now we have only been dating for about 5 months but I have known him all throughout high school as well. I just worry so much and like to have my life planned out but lately my life has been so chaotic I can't plan anything! Ugh!!
