Countdown!!

[Cortnie DeNise]

So today is the 6th which makes 6 months since babe has been on his current assignment :dancin::dancin::dancin::dancin::dancin::dancin:ya y for that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am truly grateful for that :) Now my next question is ladies...can someone go over the rules of an army gf/fiancee/wife...because I need a refresher or something. My motivation is slipping. I am getting extremely frustrated with the fact that they are always working, and I don't really get to talk to him. I'm trying to hold on, but somedays its like whatever. If you not trying why should I. I don't know if its the fact that he's not trying or its like what is going on, what are yall doing? I want some attention...to be held, and I'm trying, but how do you hold on. I could really flip out. They work at some of the most incovenient times its ridiculous, and sometimes it could be little, but it irritates me so bad. Like if you are going to be at work just sign out bc when I get on there it says ur online then a few mins later ur idle...well it looks like u were online so why now all of a sudden ur idle. Then I text and you say you're at work...ugh don't play me...I will cut up. So my questions is can someone please go over the rules with me and some motivation or advice. Thanks ladies :) I am really glad that time is passing!!!!

Oh lord. Just stay positive. Sometimes the Army is NOT our best friend... we all know sometimes the military sucks... you will make it through!

I don't really have any great advice for you either. It kind of sounds like maybe you just keep missing each other online. I guess the only thing I can say is that if being with him is what you really want then you gotta work for it. Try to stay strong hun

[ReginaCherie]

all i can say is try to stay really busy. i know for me its hanging out with friends that make things better. but its best not to be around people who are all over each other. cause at least for me that makes me miss him even more.

YAY!!!!! And hey, don't feel bad we all have those moments of feeling lost or confused or worried or upset. It's all about taking it one step and one day at a time. Sometimes it looks daunting or they may behave stupidly (believe me...I know, my boyfriend does this to me, too) but we have to remember patience is a virtue (maybe one we don't have) - but strive for it anyway. And if he gets you so upset that you feel like killing him take a step back and breathe. It can be frustrating... but it will pay off in the end.

Awesome Cort!!!! Time is a flyin! He will be home before you know it!

Unfortunately, the only rule is to stay busy and keep a routine. We take on a very difficult role when we decide to be with a military man. It is not easy, but it is well worth it!! I don't know of any "spouse" who does not get frustrated at the long hours our men/women put in to their jobs. It is very easy to feel like their jobs are their mistress. When we do have those occasions to spend time together, we have to make sure that we spend as much quality time together to last for those times when they are not there. For example, when my husband was in Iraq, he would log on to MSN Messenger and fall asleep. I would log on to talk to him and he wouldn't answer. It wasn't because he was trying to ignore me (although at the time it felt like it), but that he was pure exhausted. It may just be that he was called out to do something when he was waiting to talk to you (that also happened a couple of times). I would have to say that you have hit a critical time in any sort of deployment. It seems that right around the 6 month mark is where things get really frustrating. The combination of excitement that they will be home soon and the agrivation of them not being there already sets in. Please stay strong and keep your chin up. He will be home soon. Just know that we are here for you whenever you need to rant, rave, kick, and scream. We love ya!!

[Mary Cat]

Every time you get angry or upset, take time to yourself
You don't want to take it out on anyone else, especially your man
The military life is tough but the most important thing to do is just be supportive and loving
