| Need to tell someone(whiny) My husband (in Iraq) just informed me it WILL be 15 months this tour. I got my hopes up for just 1 year. So now I have 7 more months to go. I just dont want to go that long. Ive done the year tour twice before and most of my friends have survived the 15 months but at this moment in time I wish I was allowed to throw a temper tantrum. I cant though, I have to keep up a happy face and get on with life. My kids need me and most of my friends are either in the same place I am (which means their spread thin too), or just finishing or starting another tour, which means everyone I know is just tapped out. I dont believe having a new president will help but i am wishing. These back to back tours have got to stop or there just wont be any Army left. Im sorry to dump this on you guys but right now I just dont have anyone to tell this to and it just keeps rambling in my head. I wish I was a Canadian. |

| What a disappointment!!! I don't blame you one bit for being whiney! I am so sorry he isn't coming home sooner. I don't know how you do it. You must be one strong woman. My husband was only gone a few months at a time and that was plenty for me!! Hang in there!!

| I'm sorry that you are feeling this way. I'm not sure that I can say anything that will make you feel better but I wish I could. Sending you a great big hug!

| I admire your strength. The wives have to be just as strong as the hubbies, that's for sure. I have no pearls of wisdom for you - just wanted to say that you are doing a good job and I thank you and your husband both for what you are doing for our Country.

| I don't see you as being whiney. Go ahead throw a fit! When the kids aren't there, YELL, SCREAM, CRY, THROW something! No, it won't change anything but you will be able to let it out! Military wives are strong, and yes there are many that are in your same position, but that doesn't mean that you can't throw your fit. I know I would! But you need to get it out! You can be strong for your kids after your fit, and you will feel stronger after you get it out. Just because you're a military wife doesn't mean you can't let your feeling out. You'll be in our thoughts and so will your hubby.

| You can whine anytime you'd like. They are very good at making deployments seem like they're a cup of tea when they let you know "oh yea, he'll be gone longer" Did he get/ will he get a mid-deployment leave? That helps a little sometimes? I wish him and you all the best. and my DH adds "hooah" |

| I feel for you, I can imagine how hard it is to be a military wife. My son was in the navy, it was hard being a navy Mom, and he was only gone 6 mos at a time. I'm thankful for all the men and women in the service, I have the utmost respect for them all..They're all over their fighting for the country they love. I'm sure with the holidays approaching, it's that much harder on you, but, I'm sure he would much rather be home with his family. Just hang in there, sounds like you're one strong woman! |

| I don't blame you either. You're not being whiny. This must be so tough. Mine was gone a month, and not to a war (just to another city), and I almost died. You are so strong. I know so many people who's sons & dtrs are over there and they keep getting extended or sent back over & over. Hugs to you. |
