My husband recently got out of the navy, he served five years. We have been married for two years but dating forever. Deployment, I thought, was going to be the hardest part but turns out after three months or so you just get use to living and being on your own. When he came back and we had to learn how to be around each other again. I'm glad he is out and we never have to go through all of those challenges anymore. We have both learned about ourselves and each other which has only made us stronger. I think it is important to always have an open communication and taking time just for you and your spouse. |
Air Force wife here! My husband too is currently deployed and will be home in three months! The countdown in on! Next month marks 17 years in service and we both cannot wait until he retires. |

heyya! Army Vet, and Army spouse now here. I served 4 yrs Active, 15 months in iraq. Me and my husband met in Germany. I was deployed from Sept 07 til Dec 08, My husband was there from Jan 08-Mar 09. So we spent a total of 18 months apart. It was hard because we only spent 2 weeks together on our R&R and only seen each other about 3 times. It brought us closer than we could have ever imagined. I Got out of the army in aug 09 and i am currently trying to get back in. Civilian life is so different than being in the Army, i miss it terribly. We are stationed at Ft. Jackson SC. Non-deployable unit right now. So far it's been great! And yes a military spouses job is SO much harder. BUT, it's got it's pro's and cons :P |

My husband is in the Army. He was stationed over seas for a little over 4 years in a row. They were also dependant restricted tours, so I was only able to visit for a shot amount of time. When we moved to Alabama I was homesick so my husband surprised me with Sophie. |

Well I'm a military brat. I know that the transition coming home is a long and tough one. No matter the age. Take things slow. Let him take his own pace. Also, I witnessed first hand PTSD. This is very hard. On everyone. We had to learn not to ask, but to let him talk on his own. Their are things that they want to talk about and things they dont want to talk about. They will talk about those things on their own time. Loud noises. It would make him jump, and scare him. Not just loud noises, but any noise that wasnt expected. Fireworks would be a big No. Sleeping.... sleeping was also a big issue. You would think they get home and they get to sleep in their own bed, but in our house. It was the opposite. When he first got home he didnt sleep for like 18 hrs, and even when he did it was only a couple hours at a time. I'm not saying that everyone is like this. This is just what we experienced in our house. I wish your s/o a safe trip home. God bless our Troops, and the Silent Ranks :heart: |
