Some of you already know that I am a military wife. We just moved to Camp Pendleton in March from Co H in San Antonio. It seems that a large portion of my husbands former command (that we LOVED) have also moved to 1st RAD BN with us.
Ski was originally not on the list to go to Iraq but his old XO and SSGT came up to him the other day in front of TOP and asked if he wanted to go to Iraq. So now TOP is rearranging it so my Ski can go. Ski says it is where they are still fighting but instead of being a Signals Collector he will be filling an Analyst position.
I've never been through a real deployment(other than schools) in all our marriage. Ski has spent over 6 years in the USMC and has never left the I10. I am excited for him but at the same time apprehensive. I want to know what did you other military wives do to cope with a major deployment?
He should be leaving somewhere between January & February and it is only supposed to be 6 months (but so was my neighbor and she got back 8 months later)
