Yeah but it's simply unfair to lead
Undercover_Man to the highly unlikely conclusion that his long distance relationship will last throughout this 2 year period.
Long distance relationships rarely ever work out for those with decades more life experience than
Undercover_Man and his girlfriend seem to have. Couple that inexperience and blatant naivety along with the fact that they'll be going through her 2 year stint in the armed forces during one of the most significant lifestyle transitions they'll ever have to make and it's easy to see that the odds simply aren't stacked in
Undercover_Man's favor.

Please explain how I can cope with this different kind of separation. I am so so worried right now. If she doesn't come back then I will go crazy. I can't live without her. She is my heart and soul and my one reason for living. I love her. I don't know what to do. I'm going out of my mind just thinking of it. Please help.

Those are wonderful and truly magical feelings and you're both lucky to have experienced such a strong desire for someone else.
However, you'll have to come to terms with the fact that you're much better off focusing not so much on this relationship and much more on yourself. You'll come to the realization that deciding who you'll become and where you'll be in the next few years are difficult enough questions to grapple with and while it'd be incredible if you two came out together at the end of this - you'll be fine even if you aren't together.
What are your plans for the future?
