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)

Far be it from me to be insensitive to your needs and feelings, but what is the point? Seriously. Your situation is so f'ucking special that you need a thread all your own to stroke the ego? There are dozens of threads on this sh;t already. There are countless replies to this sh;t already. No offense, but will all you Bob damn people quite with the "OMG my hubby's going away! Help me cope!" threads? Go to a "military wives who can't make it on their own" bi dating site, or something. They love this crap. Just ask Katie.
Unless you are either telling us about how your SO died in combat or you are posting pictures of your bewbs I would kindly ask you not to post.

get a hobby, get a job, start school & stay in touch with your kv.
I'm waiting for the post that says "my wife is away at war and I can't figure out how to make macaroni and cheese".

that was my neighbor Jeff. when his wife was deployed he completly fell apart. The only things he can make are barbacued chicken and salsa. He would just sit in his house waiting for when she would come online blasting his techno at all hours of the night. (he is 32)

Fu[/b]ck all you peeps that wouldnt know what it was like to spend a night away from your SO's, let alone months. Until you stand at the gate watching your SO load up in that plane to leave I suggest a hearty GFY to all of you **************** At this time I'd like to point out our SO's signed up for this voluntarily so that you dipshi[b]ts dont get drafted in. So, my suggestion is that until any one of you know what its "REALLY" like, pour yourself a bleach cocktail, sit down and shut the hell up.
Niobia, get all your power of attorneys set up, make sure he has a calling card or two, a couple of pictures of you and the family and some cash for vending machines during the lay overs. Get all of his gear packed and ready now. Get anything big you need done to your home and cars done before he leaves. Either a job or a hobby will be good to make the time pass by. If you've been looking at going back to school, now would be a good time. Just stay busy and keep your chin up.

I get the best of both worlds. I can complain all I want knowing even if there is a draft I still can't be drafted. La la!
Now, preach on, sister. Then grab one of your new ****** and dream about what its like to have a SO who wasn't so grossly unqualified for anything else in life that he had to volunteer for the military.

Actually, Moe dear, my husband not only was planning on going to college for architecture he could have gone into the family buisness of realestate. His mothers side of the family from illinois and minnessota are all quite well off from the family buisness. Not everyone joins because they barely passed high school, some join because they feel they should give back. But, being a canuk, with NO military and 3rd on the list for terrorism.. you tell me how that works out for you guys..
If I were to get drafted I would score too high to be scared of battle. I'd more than likely end up in a position of sending your SOs away to some sandhill.
"What me worry?"
"What me worry?"
I have a feeling you would be like one of those guys in 'Nam that annoyed the whole unit and then ended up having an "accident" when they were out on patrol.

Thank you Katie...deployment is different than sending him to school. with his schools I could drive up on weekends and see him.What phone cards work best over there? I figured I needed a new POA they only issue 1 year ones here on Pendleton.
My husband does Intel, he has a TS/SCI clearance;he isn't in the military because he can't get anything else, he does it because he likes it. If ski didn' like it he would go contractor for AIA or NSA.
There really is a strong sense of loyalty among the military & their family members. It isn't anything anyone can understand who hasn't been in the military or been an immediate dependant.

Passing high school by a wide margin and planning to go to college or having a wealthy family doesn't make you any more qualified to do anything else in life. He married you, for Bob's sake. How much faith could he possibly have had that he was destined for great things?

Katies husband is doing excellent in his career BECAUSE of her. When he finishes he will be young enough to enjoy his retirement, be respected for his job choice and not be cantankerous like you.

Yet she always confuses me with AH by calling me a pot head or some "druggie" when I haven't so much as been drunk or stoned a day in my life.
I think the word "cnut" describes Katie to a tee. She is one dizzy *** backwards c[b][/b]unt.

Trying to line up the ***** interludes for when your man goes out? Listen, if anyone is getting a leg up in their career because of Katie, its quite evident how its happening. Commending her for that is, well, sad?
it is really sad to see a military spouse being verbally abused by a bunch of pussies hiding behind a computer. niobia, katie i give credit to you, ive seen enough of my marines ruin good careers over a bad marriage. i have also seen them be successful from a good marriage.
your husbands, regardless of mos, branch or service, rank, are doing a job that most people including these ***** are too ***** to do.

Given the choice. . . Hmm.
A) Live with a diseased inbred nagging ****
B) Get shot at by dumb-fu[i]cks (and by the enemy)
I'd take B.

Wow! So. Explain again.
Some marriages work out.
Some don't.
Have you considered publishing this insightful theorem?
And yes, you're right, I don't have the brains to run around with a gun.
Stupid fu[/i]cking *******. What an cu[i]nt.
