my friend and I have been talking for about a year now. we have had a lot of challenges in our friendship due to my misunderstanding about what he was saying. well he is in the army and will be going to Iraq sometime this year. he had left me for 2 and a half months because of my attitude and some how came back. even through there were still challenges in our rriendship, this managed to get better.
So he wanted to come visit me this month sometime after field training which was 35 days and I assumed it was over tuesday or monday, but not sure how the army process goes. whether its 35 days and its time to go home or 35 days and they have to check out which may be a few days before time to return home.
My friend is not overseas during training. but when he was he training in the state that I live in now he did ask would I be able to come there, training was only a few days but because of my work time and the time he was allowed to be out it would not have been good to go there, since he would not be able to meet me
.
It would have been something like 5 hours driving for me.so I say to him not to ignore me. and he said that he was not ignoring me and that the army keeps him busy. do we made plans to meet in july and he knew that I am cooking and all the other good stuff. so I ask him when he would be here and he asked me for my phone number. wanted to talk to me before going back to the field. this was memorial day. but I sent him my phone number, but at the time I did not know that he wanted to talk to me, because I have a bad habit reading part of the message.
My response was that I am not always by the phone and if you leave a message I will get it sooner or later. so he know's that I am in college and my time is limited. and I know that he works as well have to ask permission as for how long his stay will be. he know's that he is coming but, I think he should have been more of a timely person as to what, when and where. so I am thinking since I have not heard from him yet that maybe he could be not out of the field yet. or something. I am not sure how the process works.
