Need advice from firefighters + firefighter girlfriends
Hey guys, I’m posting this because my boyfriend (21M) and me, (20F) have been together for 3 years now, and he just got accepted into a fire academy!
He had his orientation yesterday and I’m super excited for him, but I know it’s going to be really demanding. 5 days a week, from 5am-5pm.
So to all the firefighters reading this, what are some things you’d want your girlfriend to do for you/be aware of while starting your journey?? to all the girlfriends, what is some advice you have for me. we also do not live together yet either!!! Currently a somewhat medium distance couple :(
What are some of the best ways I can support him during this time, especially so our relationship doesn’t drift apart? I know we will not be able to see eachother much at all, and have been okay with that. I know once he actually becomes a firefighter it’ll be a completely different story.
