Girlfriend In The Royal Navy

Hi guys,
I know I'm a guy and usually it is for women but not sure where else to go.
My partner is in the Navy (Medic) and I am so so so proud of her. We've been together for 5 years now and she has been in navy for about 5 months. She has already been told she will be deployed a lot and is currently half way through her first lot of leave (4 weeks in total) She found it hard to adjust back for the first few days and even questions our relationship but since then our relationship seems the best it has ever been and we have both talked loads about our future and she apologised for being weird and said it may take her tie to adjust when she gets back as no routine (which I 100% understand and respect)

She will be based at either Plymouth or Portsmouth in a few months so when we find out I'll apply for jobs but I guess the reason behind this is to ask for help. I know she hasn't been in long and I'll probably just adapt and get use to it but I am struggling a lot. We speak as much as we can but some days there is nothing and feel like she doesn't want to speak sometimes. Probably me just being paranoid but I was just wondering how do you guys get through it? Is there things you recommend?

We were very serious before she went in and when she came out she felt like she wanted us to act our age a bit more (24) which is fair enough and since she has been back she has met up with some of her friends from the Navy and has been for nights out with them. I feel like I'm almost being left behind.

Like I say not sure if it's just me being paranoid but if anyone can help or knows what I'm feeling It would be appreciated.

Cheers
