| My bad news Hey everyone. I haven't been around at all today. My husband found out that he is being sent to Turkey (with the Air Force) for 15 months, leaving in July. I'm pretty floored by this - my husband is my best friend and we have two children as well as Sandy and Tia. He's gone away before but the longest was for 4 months. Of course, this is always a possibility being in the armed forces, but never easy to handle. I'm sure we'll be fine and everything, it's just very hard to imagine being without him for 15 months. Anyway, I'm having a hell of a day because of this and kind of needed to vent. Thanks for letting me.

| Aimee, I am so sorry! We have two "career" military retirees and it was so hard for them to be away from their families ... seems like it's even more difficult when there are children. We will remember you & your family in our prayers .... don't forget, you always have us [for whatever that's worth! ].

| In our prayers Keep us posted and know that we're here for you. Also, just wanted to let you know something cute and special. My 7 year old son prayers for all the "soldiers in Iraq" every single night. For their safety and for them to come home soon. Just know that God is with them all. God bless, Heather |

| Oh Aimee, I feel for you. I'm not sure what's worse. Staying behind or going with. My dad was in the military when I was growing up and we all lived in Turkey for 2 years. It was hard on my mom. I hate hearing that Daddy's have to leave! I hope things go as smoothly as possible with the kids and his departure. Take care. Me and my kids will say a prayer for you and yours... |

| Aimee: We'll count the months together! My son leaves in about 3 weeks with the Marine Corp. I couldn't imagine having my husband being deployed. My heart, thoughts and prayers go out to you, the children and your husband. Lisa

| We're all thinking of you and your family, aimee! Just remember you have YorkieTalk friends you can rely on. Do you have any extended family members nearby at all? |

| My in-laws live in San Diego, but uh - well I probably won't want to raise my stress levels THAT high while he's away. I'm pretty sure they'll be making regular visits as their schedule permits, though. The great thing about the military is that in times like this, the families really come through for you. We've told two of our friends who live here on base and both husbands are already offering to mow the lawn, pull weeds, etc. It helps put your mind at ease, if nothing else. My parents are also planning now to come for a visit from Nebraska during the summer. Living on base, you're pretty self-sufficient, (we have a gas station, grocery store, schools, liquor store, wal-mart type store ((bx))) and there are two cities really close (Lompoc and Santa Maria) that have pretty much everything I could want besides outlet shopping So, I'm sure we'll be okay. It's just the shock of "Oh honey - I'm sorry but they are sending me away for 15 months. And we'll get hazardous duty pay!" -- that last part can't help but get to you, you know? You guys are the best - I'm sure you'll be seeing much more of me when he leaves...is that even possible?

| Oh yeah! I asked my husband if he'll be put out to come home to another Yorkie - his response? "You're the boss, honey!" LOL

| sorry to hear i can't relate to you completely but the unit out of my town just got back from a years deployment in iraq. i had quite a few friends that were over there and i use to talk to them on yahoo messenger all the time. will he have internet access? it's sure not the same as having them there in person but it beats nothing. i don't know if your big into "Support Our Troops" but i just ordered these yellow bracelets that say "Until They All Come Home" on them, if you'd like one i'd be more than happy to send one to you. |
