Hi A.,
My name is T. T and I saw your posting and I
just wanted to let you know that I am a ex-military brat for 30 years and an ex-military wife. I sent my husband to Iraq when the war first started in 2003 for 13 months.
I am not going to lie to you it can be really rough!! Especially with a little one. My daughter was only 18 months old when he left for Iraq. With your husband going into the Army and depending on what his MOS(job) is, there are going to be nights, weeks and sometimes months at a time that he will not come home because they are practicing what they were trained to do. But there is support there for you at each military base. There are Family Support Groups (now called something else) that will be your main support for the unit that your husband will be in. The towns around where you will be stationed are really supported of the troops and their families. But, I have to tell you it is a whole different world!!!!! I can honestly say that I sometimes miss that life
but then there are days that I don't. I understand what you are going through, my husband has been contemplating going back in himself.
I hope that this little information has helped you. If you would like you can contact me at anytime at ____@____.com I do not hear from you, good luck and make the best of it!! How often do you get to travel the world?
Sincerely,
T. T
