diane, i'm sorry your thread started to take a wrong turn but you understood what i meant. i'm not going to talk about it anymore because i know people will continue to misinterpret what i said and there's no point in dragging it on.

are there support groups or something along those lines for you there? it must make it so much worse being alone in a foreign country. at least you have your beautiful babies! maybe they have some sort of weekly classes (i don't know, like scrapbooking or yoga or something?) so you can get out of the house and take your mind off things.

you know we're here for you and there's always going to be someone on here at any hour of the day. pm me if you ever feel like you want to talk.

:hugs:

well they still do frg meetings even when the guys are gone. each platoon has there own on certain days etc. although i dunno if i will go to them at all. joseph acts like a terror all the time when we go. I need to try and get in touch with the girl scout lady again i havent heard from her.
They sometimes have classes and stuff on base but due to lack of participation they end up getting canceled.
Its not to bad here. It sucks its just the begininng and i still got along ways to go. The jehovah witness lady comes over every week, jason always like talkin religiion with her for some odd reason, never went to church. so he told her to continue coming by every week.

im sorry i really didnt have time to read all the responces

i just wanted to say im here for you diane, trevor just left on the 15th and its killing me, i was perfectly fine before and the drive to the airport and even waiting at the airport, but once he had to actulay leave my sight...man its the worst feeling in the world, im actualy crying just thinking about it

is this your first deplayment? ive been told the first is always the hardest

and bridget, not trying to be mean, but we do all know what we are signing up for, but ain some cases you dont think you will be deployed, like trevor, he works on cods, c-2 greyhounds, its a plane that carries mail for the navy, now i could see that argument if it was like a paratrroper or some other obvious thing, but sometimes i guess even the swafe jobs are unsafe

also, in my opinion, its just wrong to take such a young babies daddy away

diane, im here for you if you need to talk (although im not on too much) we can all get through thisd together

~alicia~

thanks alicia
thanks to all you guys
this is his first deployment, he called today hes in some weird country begins with a k and ends in stan i dont recall the name it takes a few days to actually get there. I gotta buy him some phone cards and stuff though. when we first moved here they said this would be a nondeployable duty station but eh things happen. I kinda wish he was one of the ones that went in march, they went to fill in when people get hurt so they left march and come back august. but then he wouldnt have been here when my parents were here. brandy came over today she was bored, we took the kids and audrey to the park joseph and lexy had soooo m uch fun going down the slide and playinon the seesaw. all the kids there loved the dog lol. i shoulda taken the camera. i need totake lots of pics for jason while he is gone. I already sent him an email but i dont know when he will get it, they are banned from myspace so im emailing him everyday with what i did etc and the kids since they seem to do new things everyday, i still gotta tell him the tampon story with joseph lol. Try and take video clips for him to but i dunno how he can see them they have to be small to send in an email and they cant look on myspace if i post them there so i will see if i do end up taking video clips like if joseph talks alot more while he is gone or something and jordynne walking etc. i still dont think it has quite hit me. i cried when he left for germany when i was in fla, i didnt cry this time, i knew when i dropped him off that he was still on base for a while and now he still isnt in afghanistan, it will prob hit me when he gets there and i dont here from him for a while while they are getting situated and everything. I can just take it one day at a time.

kazahkstan.

i worry about rich just having to drive to work in the morning. i say a prayer every morning when he leaves that he will make it home safely. can't even imagine how you feel. i'll say a prayer for you guys too.

once again i didnt say army i said military my husbannd is in the Navy. also u cant really say she didnt cuz you were a kid and you cant possibly have head ever little thing she said.

diane are you gunna come to FL for like christmas or anything? im sorry u missed his call i hate missing calls when u know it might b the only time they get to talk. n yes u do need to ge the camera out for jason and us

alicia where did your hubby go? i forget.

i probably wont leave germany, to expensive to fly back there. i want to but its not worth wasting the money or the hassle of 2 kids on aplane joseph is a terror out in public places with me. my parents are gonna try and visit in may again, without my grandma this time, they came to see us and the kids last time and all my gma wanted to do was run all over the place looking at things so they arent telling her theyre coming here this time around, jason should be back and able to take leave also when they visit this time. taht sounds like it might be where he was at. im sleepin with the phone at night from now on although when he gets there i wont here from him for a while but i dont wanna miss a call again it really sucks i feel bad but he doesnt feel bad cuz he knows im sleeping or something like that , he hates keeping me up or waking me up when he calls all the time when he isnt here even though i dont care i tell him i dont care cuz i want to talk to him every chance he gets lol.

I am sorry that he had to go. I am sorry for all of you that your Hubby's are in Iraq, Afghanistan and other places. I understand alot because my Son is Iraq for two years for the third time and gets a break in between, I am sure that it is difficult for them leaving there kids and loved one's behind but try to remain positive even though you might have your moments(I know that I do) and know that they will be home soon. I am sure it is difficult for you Diane with being in a different country, I am glad that you have a good friend to talk to that is going through the same thing. I am also so happy that Joseph is doing better. I hope you are able to keep busy with your kids and puppy! Know that we are here for you. My thoughts are with all of you.
Hugz!

yeah the kids keep me busy and give me a laugh every now and again wich is good as well. we try and keep ourselves busy, with her husband gone now and jason not here she just pops over when she gets bored. her husband comes back in a month or so now though but they plan on getting divorced btu she has to wait on her sons passport etc. so she will be here a few mths or more before she leaves so that will help half the time fly by after she leaves i wont have long left to go, and with my neighbors hubby being gone as well i have her to talk to although this is his 2nd deployment.

sorry but my parents had a good relationship and my mom died living a good life and was not a spoiled brat like you. spoiled miltary wifes like you are the only ones saying its sucks to be deployed. noone put a gun to your husband head to join the service. there are plenty of men out there who would not want there wife to being saying it"sucks" cause they stand proud to do what they do and want there wife to support them instead of saying how much it "sucks"

you could just refrain from posting if you don't agree with her statement. it's only natural for someone to have some resentment about something that takes their loved one away from them and puts them in danger, regardless of what that thing is. why not just offer some support and kind words for someone who is afraid of losing their husband for obvious reasons? i don't get it.
