We also found a letter written by an Air Force Master Sergeant to a young lady in your situation: -
Dear.....
We understand that and all "girlfriends" AND "wives" go though the same thing when their guy joins the service.
Would you stop him from trying to make the best life he can for himself and for you? No. Well, he has thought it through and decided his "best chance" today is to join the military service.
Now, it is difficult to enter the Air Force. One has to score at least a 50% on the AFQT entrance test to be accepted. That is difficult. And, he had to wait "how many months"? just to get to basic training?   You knew from the start that he was going to enter the Air Force.  
Now, the time will go by fast.  Here is a break down of what he will be going through:  He will be at Lackland AFB, Texas for 9 1/2 weeks for basic training. He will be busy 24 hours a day including Sundays! And holidays. Basic Training does not take a "break."  
He will get up at 4:30 in the morning. Dress, make his bed, march to chow (breakfast) and by 6 am he is doing AF training, either physical training (PT) or classrooms. Then, they go to chow (lunch) and back to training. Then, they go to chow (supper) and then back to the barracks/dorms to clean up and do "chores." Then, at 8 p.m. he gets ready for bedtime. Then, at 9 pm it is lights out and sleep until wake up again at 4:30 a.m.
He has NO TIME TO MEET ANY GIRLS! Don't worry! Nobody gets free time to roam the base. NOBODY.
Finally, graduation day comes. Then, he gets on a bus and either goes to another base in Texas or Mississippi. Or, if he is in missiles he will fly to California.  
His technical school could be from 1 month to 10 months. Depends. We don't know what his job is - yet. Once he finds out, he can obtain an official list of all the schools and how long each course is and where.  
THEN, when his training is finished, he gets to come home for 2 weeks before he reports to his first Air Force base.  
Are you and your boyfriend going to marry? If so, then you get to go with him to his first AF base. 
What can you do right now? I will tell you. YOU can write him a letter, with pen and paper and a stamp, each and every day. That is the old-fashioned and TRUE way to keep up with your loved ones in the military. I can not emphasize enough to all the "peeps" who want to e-mail, Skype, Facebook and Twitter, etc., that the old-fashioned way works the best. And he can read it as often as he wants to.
Inside your envelope put another envelope with a stamp on it addressed to you. And, give him two blank sheets of paper. That way, he never has to worry about getting stamps. He usually has a little time before bedtime to write a few lines and it won't be more than 1 - 2 pages.  
On the back of your envelope put the DATE. Why? Because he will often get 2 or more letters from you at one time. This way, he will know which one to read first to stay in sequence. Tell him to date "HIS" return mail the same way.
Then, when he graduates from all his training you will be very proud of him. And, hopefully, you both will make a great life together. BUT.... that also means that YOU have to become Air Force too. You have to learn how it is to be an Air Force family. If you can accept that, then, later on you won't even remember the few months that you waited for him. Does this help you any?
