Yep, I see the problem here as being honesty/communication/vulnerability, not the Navy itself. Lots of people survive long distance just fine... but you've gotta have wicked-sharp communication skills before it ever gets off the ground. I really see *NO* reason for her to not tell you why she's joining up. (Are you a lot older than she is, btw, or same age?)
