oh you guys

I dont know if i told you all but my d/h is being deployed he leaves sat for 3 weeks training comes home for 30 days and leaves for wisconsin for amonth or so then he goes overseas to Iraq. He has to go thru medical and etc he may not be deployable.. But just 3 weeks is going to hard he is like my right arm... Since i had the surgery he is like always there he takes good care of me,but i told him i have to do all this myself and i will be fine but he doesnt wonna leave me. I have 2 teenagers and a 24 yr old son and im the mama and in charge..... im just so worried about him. im sorry i just needed to talk..thats my favorite pastime..lol

Bummer!!!     well I firmly believe that things happen for a reason.......maybe you found this board to suround yourself with new friends while your DH is away!  So feel free to lean us!

Oh, I know where you are coming from but a tad bit worse.  My biggest source of sanity and encouragement and love was not here for my surgery.  He too was at school.  It was a trade off because he had to go to school so that I could have surgery.  He left for Wichita Falls TX about 3 weeks before I had surgery.  I cleaned house, purges clothes, cried, screamed, and dealt with all of the emotions leading up to surgery.   I am a stronger person for going through this without his physical support.  He has no idea, really, what it was like for me to do this.  But I am greatful for him doing the reserves and AD to go to school.   Now he's still AD because he is doing what's called season in training so I still have Tricare and that is awesome because I don't have to pay for it! I would hate to say that I wish he wouldn't pass medical so that he wouldn't have to go to Iraq, BUT...I'm sure you'd rather have him home with you. You know the Bible says in Ephesians 8:28 "All things work together for the good of those who love the Lord and are called according to service."   If he goes, there is a reason for it.  If he stays, there's a reason too!

Without getting into my personal feelings about the war, I am very sorry he is being deployed.  Fort Carson isn't too far from here and we are always seeing stories on the news when the troops ship out.  I don't know how families bear it.  In the meantime, we're here for you! Kix

So many emotions - I just don't know quite what to say, except that it will all unfold as intended.  You will survive and be strong, because that's what you do.  While I do not agree with the reasons we're in Iraq, I am deeply grateful to the people who are serving there, and who serve in other places as well.... {{{{{hugs}}}}} Kellie

Oh WOW!  Thats unfortunate.  Please give d/h a special hug & thank you for his part in defending our country!  Estelle is right...you have us to help you thru the tough times.  We never know what we are capable of until we're put to the test.  Hang in there....HUGS Jeanine

I'm so sorry to hear this, and wish you both the best.  My best friend's husband decided to return to active duty (reservist) recently and I am so worried that he will be deployed.  Whatever your opinion of this war, our country is lucky to have dedicated men and women like your husband willing to serve it.  I am thankful to them, and to their families, for all the sacrifices they make for every one of us. 

Thank you everybody. I feel so guilty he re enlisted so i would have tricare insu and could have the surgery. thank goodness he was here with the problems i had. tonight i dumped this is only the 2nd time i think its nerves i hadnt ate much today to begin with.. but again thank you love and smooches...

OH SWEETIE,      I AM VERY SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR HUBBY. I KNOW IT WILL BE HARD ON YOU BUT JUST REMEMBER WE ARE ONLY A CLICK AWAY.... I LIVE NEAR A MARINE BASE HERE AND I SEE SO MANY FAMILIES SEPERATED FROM THE WAR... ITS SAD BUT I KNOW THEY ARE DOING WHAT IS EXPECTED OF THEM... SO HANG IN THERE.... HOLLER WHEN YA NEED US!!
