I'm going TDY, I'll tell you more when I get home!! AAAAHHH I HATE that! After 8 years I still hate it. Don't call me, just wait and tell me when you get home. Now I have to worry, where, how long, ugh. For a marriage that is already on the rocks, this couldn't have come at a worse time. He's been over there so many times I swear!! But it's not his fault it's his job and I knew what I was getting into, it's just still hard especially now with a 20 month old. Sorry guys, thanks for letting me vent.

I do know how you feel, I vent and vent and for me it doesn't help, I do hope it helps for you. I'm still waiting for my sweetie to email me or something? I don't care what it is. Hang in there. I'll do my best praying that everything will be okay with you and your hubby.
Take Care

Make sure you talk before he goes. My husband just retired from the ARMY and guess what...Found out when he went TDY to Huntsviile, Al for 30 days he had an affair !! Killed me when I found out. When he went TDY the ARMY paid for his travel, his car, got him an apartment and spending money. What else could they give him, no not the women, she was a barrack slut that has a revolving door. She hovers waiting to offer her self. I'm not meaning to be cruel or hurtful. But please keep your eyes open. Good Luck

I think no matter how much we prepare ourselves for our love ones leaving, deep down there is no way to be ready for it. It sucks. Simple as that. Then you throw in LIFE and it just makes it worse. Military couples still have kids, argue, get mad, need a hug, but when their country calls, it seems like all of that has to change. The best thing I have found is to find alternate ways. My husband and I text each other all the time while he is gone. It's helps a lot. I hope everything works out for ya'll. HUGGS!

Thankfully I haven't had to get that kinda phone call yet. But we are semi-newly weds and he's only been in 3 years, so I assume it's just a matter of time.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
