My daughter flew to Malta to meet her on/off sailor boyfriend. Everything is sorted at 4pm on Monday (when she flew) but by 7:30 pm when she landed in Malta all leave had been cancelled and he wasn’t coming. Cue much tears on the (expensive) phone call home. From talking to people who have been in or who have had relationships with people in the armed forces, this sort of thing happens all the time.
She has decided to stay for the week regardless with the other WAGS if only because the earliest flight she could get back to Newcastle was the one she had booked anyway and flights to other destinations were full. So a couple of hundred quid (for spends)from us later and she is settled and lessons learned about future booking of meet ups with the lad in question i.e. don’t until he is actually docked and running down the gangplank in full On The Town style.
