I feel for you girl. Dating a military man would be difficult. The only thing you can do to help is get involved in lots of activities. If you go to church get more involved in some of the functions they have. Take up a sport. Hang out with your girlfriends more. Read lots of books. Does he have access to the internet? Write him lots of deep emails......other than that, there isn't much you can do. I know you can't travel with a military man unless you are married. Even then I don't know that you could be stationed with him. I am sure he misses you too....he just has a job that fills up a lot of his time....you need something to fill your time. I would feel the same way you did. I hate when my husband takes a 10 day hunting trip....that is NOTHING compared to the lonlieness you are feeling. Write him lots of love letters...those are always nice too....email is great because it is a pretty instant thing, but when you put it on paper and mail it, it is something he can hold.
