Sunday!? I'm really, really sad. We've known each other since December, and have become the best of friends. She was the only one who I could talk to about things that I would normally bottle up. We would even at times say how we both wish we could go to boot camp together, but we can't.(I'm 17, and she's 19)

I even had a dream last night that I was going to a normal day of PT and just broke down crying. It was like I was hysterically crying. When I woke up, I felt even more upset. I promised her I would call her today before she leaves, but I'm scared to because I don't want to cry and make her emotional again.

I've already started writing her a letter. I'm leaving out all of that "omg I wish I could see you again" and just giving her encouragement. I'm just so upset right now. And I know for a fact, if any of the recruiters at the office asked me if I was alright, I would be a mess. I know she'll be back, but I'm just so sad right now.

Also, I am going to call her, but what should I say to make her less nervous, even if its for a few minutes? I don't want her to be sad or scared before she goes because I really want to make sure she's strong before going.
She gave me the address to write her, so when should I send the letter?
But I heard you spend up to a week in "week 0". So I wasn't sure if she would get the letter during week 0.
