I have been dating my S/O for over a year now, and he is going through BEAST at West Point (class of 2026). I am leaving for the Naval Academy Preparatory School in a few weeks, so I will be a year behind him (class of 2027).
The service academies have been our dream since the beginning of high school. We understand how challenging it will be, not being able to talk every single day, constantly grinding on school work, and countless nights of PT. We want to make it work, though, more than anything.
S/O before he left for R-Day said that things between us will work out. I’ve been holding on to that to keep myself sane.
We also told each other that the SAs will always come first. Our relationship can wait.
My S/O have a lot in common, which drew us together in the first place. Played the same sport, both in band, enjoy the same music, service acadmies, etc… we’re even recruited for the same sport at our respective academies… so I feel like our relationship is pretty strong.
I’ve been writing him letters everyday. I haven’t gotten a response from him, but his coach did tell me that he’s received them. Just hasn’t had the time to write back. (Also worried that he might lose feelings for me while at beast… typically girlfriend overreaction though haha)
For those of you currently in the 2% club, and even those who failed, can you spare some advice on how to make it work? Not too harsh, though!
