I feel like I need reassurance every day and if we dont have meaningful converstaions every day I get upset. I never express it and my self control has been really good. I just need help for the next month because on may 18th until december ill be in boot camp/ait and I wont have enough time to be clingy. I want to stomp this in the ground so that this wont be an issue but I still want to talk to her. I also should note I do not have a job right now because boot camp is right around the corner Please help.

 Hello, Army Girlfriend here.
Since you're heading off to Basic, you're going to notice that your priorities WILL change. Luckily, it gets easier. Once you get to AIT you will have more freedom (so you can bring your technology).
Looks like you have some serious work to do. Because once Boot Camp hits, say goodbye to technology for the next three months. Talk to your girlfriend about it. Do it. She will have to understand the responsibilities of being an Army Girlfriend. Make sure you both write letters (and make them very romantic, so you can get that meaningful conversation) and spend time with her before you go.
Let her know how you feel. Don't rush up on the conversation. But the bottom line is: Do you trust her? Do you feel that you both can handle the separation? And once you get to Boot Camp, trust me, your ideals will change. It's a life changing experience.
It will get easier. Good luck and be careful.
