My husband and I did 4 years long distance when he was serving! We only saw each other once every 7-10 months. It sucked but we both kept busy and it honestly made us stronger and miss each other more. We definietly never took our time together for granted and still don't. I just swore in the Air Force and waiting to leave for BMT. We're super confident that we can get through this now ! You will both be okay

[@laurenwilliamson3430]

It’s crazy how you are stationed at the Pentagon! I live 35 minutes from DC! Welcome to the DMV! It’s definitely very diverse and has a lot to offer. Praying that things will be less stressful for you, it’s all about adjusting! You got this boo❤️😇

[@jennifersosa6027]

My ex bf was in the navy & got deployed to Japan for about a year. I was a college student at the time, and let me tell you that it wasn’t easy. At first, it will be hard, especially the first few days or week. I would constantly remind myself that it’s going to be a temporary thing. How did I handle it? Well, college kept me busy, but I tried to stay positive and would find the time to communicate with him despite the different time zones. Communication is the 🔑. Stay positive and do what makes you comfortable/happy. I hope everything goes well❤️

[@nuriaxlopez]

My husband has deployed twice in the last six years, and gone to many many TDYs. But finding a solo routine has always helped me, and really connecting with friends. And attending college :)

[@studiomtn]

Accepts position at Pentagon. Goes missing from social media. 🤔

[@ShadowDeist]

coincidence ????

[@lemili524]

My husband and I haven't dealt with deployment yet, but we were together through his enlistment and entry training and mine (about 5 years apart), so we've done military-related long distance twice now. It definitely helps being with someone who understands how the military works and how communication isn't always great - just something I noticed with girls in my flight who had civilian husbands/boyfriends. It may sound cheesy, but one thing that helped my husband and I was to schedule our Skype/Zoom calls. We had regular times when we would video chat each other about 2-3 times a week, unless our schedules changed. It ensured that we made time to sit down and talk to each other, and it gave us each something to look forward to! Depending on your boyfriend's AFSC and where he's deploying to, I know that might not be as easy to plan, but even having a designated day (like Sunday being phone call/FaceTime day) might help. :)

[@destinygarcia707]

I absolutely just loveeee these videos 😭♥️ you’re the best! Also husband ‘deployed’ to Korea but comes home this yearrrr and I handled it by crying…. 🤣 We stay on ft 24/7 but definitely our marriage/relationship took a hit 😭 I am also active duty! I have 4 little ones too

[@rachelolmos5925]

Always checking to see if you have any new videos. I still follow you and stay hopeful lol. We miss you on KZbin!! Hope you’re well!❤

[@google_a.i.]

Elora Jean. You'll fit in anywhere with your charming personality and kindness towards others. Take care girl.

[@patricejones5510]

Omg we’re actually in the same area!!! And crazy enough, when I first got here I went through a lot of what you’re talking about. I really had to learn how important it is to have a support system around you. It took me forever to meet new friends, but I eventually did. I also had a long distance relationship with my ex, and what helped was consistency, enjoying those moments together, and communication. Eventually we did break up only cause we wanted different things for our future. But for couples who know they found the one, I’ve seen so many of those relationships work out for the better.

[@Military_Industrial_Complex]

Elora Jean communicates in such a way that explains why so many others convey the feeling of biting a fork.

[@tiffaniehelm8532]

i feel like NCO tier is so hard because eventually you do get chained to a desk. i am in CE and i always want to have my boots on the ground, but NCOs manage jobs from the desks in the shop. props to you for handling these changes the best that you can 🙏

[@nationsprincess6763]

I have been looking for you 🤍 so glad to see you back 🥰 I’ve started my Air Force journey with a lot of information from you! So I too have started a KZbin channel on my journey through the Air Force I’m superrrrr happy I ship out for basic Feb 7th thanks for all your inspiration ✈️💙

[@jennastowe6724]

missssss girlll!!!! you better pick your head up and remember how AMAZING you are. haha 🤍 can’t believe I’m just seeing this video, I’ve missed you!! anyways it was so sad/relatable hearing you speak in this video… seriously these seasons happen and they are real and raw so thank you for being vulnerable with us but seriously YOU have inspired me in sooo many ways to pursue the Air Force, public affairs, be confident, be a bad b, etc. sooo much love 🤍 I wish I knew you personally to call you a friend but you feel like one from the way you’ve helped me in this time

[@Trash.baby.2004]

Haven’t been on your page in a while. I’m joining the army. Found your page back when I was gonna join the AF. Hopefully will ship out in the next few months. Awesome to see a woman who’s been in the military and get a bit of insight, although I know the AF is different from the army.

[@HollyPerkinson]

Thanks for posting a lot of stuff from Moody! Our shop chat blows up when we see our products posted 😊

[@TheMeganPerez]

It might be just the energy of DC. Youll adjust. Its all about adjustment. You still be you. ❤️

[@shaguftanix]

woah I'm happy for you. you don't know me but gurl wayy to go!

[@muhammadrasydan639]

Hi Mrs Elora, have you check your corneal haze state in your eye, you can know whether you still have corneal haze or it has dissapear away? Corneal haze can cause contrast visual problem.

[@xoxo_raileenmarie]

Definitely makeup videos! Your definitely one of my favorite youtubers!

[@kimm.6235]

Hey Elora! We would love an update! Hope all is well!! 🤗❤️

[@_mel_12barbaro30]

i’d be really sad if you ever stop posting 😓 & your outro is always the sweetest 💜

[@carissamejia8234]

I live in Virginia pretty close to you! If you ever wanna make a new friend or need recommendations for stuff in the area i’d love to help :-)

[@erdemmemisyazici3950]

Sign me up! I live in Montgomery County, home of Virginia Tech. We do two things here really well, training soldiers and playing football. Edited to add: Two things I don't do. But I can tell you all about Star Trek, computers, and interesting physics for hours. An offer you can't refuse. 😄

[@lifeoftannarwalden]

Same!

[@jjharrison512]

I'm glad you're happy! We missed you ❤️

[@danfreeman9079]

Grand Forks is a close nit community. Not what I expect of the Pentagon. You left your comfort zone. I was lucky to be at great bases with active flying missions without all the politics.

[@hazelbae5691]

I feel that way with with my socials as well.. like I overthink too much.& then I think about how much it’s helps me to post my emotions . An I shouldn’t be thinking about what others think.. it’s def a struggle..

[@darksol99darkwizard]

Congratulations! I didn’t end up joining up. But I respect and thank you for your service

[@hughjassol2072]

How do you find the mental energy to make videos while being in the military.

[@rleahigh]

Welcome back!

[@robertf6409]

You're a beauty and your voice is so lovely to listen to 😊

[@Trash.baby.2004]

Surprising to me how little engagement us military official pages get. They need more talented people like you running them! Especially the space force page 😅

[@IGrouchie]

The pentagon that’s cool

[@Jenasketchbook]

I bet it’s so nice to have food options! I’m stationed at Minot ND and we don’t have very many :( I’m sure it is kind of stressful to change jobs like that, but it definitely will present more opportunities for you in the future :3 good luck! Also I looooved your self portrait!

[@hey6846]

I am now in the Air Force. You're still awesome and I learn a lot from you so thank you Dating and building a family seems impossible while serving... seems like I am guaranteed to be alone for 4 years... some advice would be greatly appreciated =)

[@Department_of_Defense]

Don't be discouraged concerning family because you're now part of something that is excellent. Take the opportunities given by the U.S.A.F. to improve yourself right now so that you'll be as prepared as possible to handle critical matters concerning family matters later on in life. You made a great decision when you joined the premier military force of America's military. You couldn't have made a better choice. Take care.

[@fazionlondon8773]

You are awesome!! Also you work in the PENTAGON?! That’s so cool!

[@lovelyheart777]

You're dog is such a troll 😂 Missed you Elora!

[@mikewhitman8038]

sometimes in the usaf when I was active duty there were a lot of lull times, I myself was station in England for 3yrs and while there I went tdy over 30x, pcs to Tinker to 2953 clss (combat Logistic Support Sq) for 5yrs, went to Dessert/Shield // Storm and tdy over 40x.. my home life was non-existing but in all that I wouldn't have change a thing

I hope you grow into it the same way I did!! It was tough in the beginning but by the end I didn’t want to leave

Wait actually can you speak more on the self confidence thing. I recently moved to a big city too. There's SO many beautiful people here my self confidence is non existent.

[@andrewareas-lloyd3507]

Holla Elora, for vid recommendations, I suggest making more content with the dogo. They were the star of this video lol

[@THEgiantBuG402]

Do you still have a youtube channel?

[@oborotsuki6sai]

Hi Elora, it has been a while… How is everything going?

[@soundmanpt]

How's your eyesight? I'm asking because I saw that you had PRK surgery several years ago to correct your nearsightedness. Before you had your surgery you wore contacts but also wore glasses quite often as well. Personally I miss not seeing you wearing glasses anymore. Your a very attractive young woman but glasses seemed to enhance your looks even more as well as drawing attention to your lovely nearsighted eyes. Do you ever miss your glasses? I'm asking because many people do start missing their glasses after a couple of years.

Hey Elora, surely not the the right outlet but still. Its me Jay

[@anonymouslig7485]

What happened to you? Why have you forsaken us?

[@erdemmemisyazici3950]

16:05 Yea trying not to get shot is a good reason not to join the military I thought. 😄 If you feel like you are lacking trauma in your life however it is definitely recommended. Military deployment will give you purpose! Even if that purpose is murdering the person who took your legs. 😂
