The military is driving me crazier than I am  |
|
Ok my son is preparing for deployment. Last night he called and told me about the pre deployment ceremony, and what they have told him. After the holidays he will be sent to another base stay there for such and such time. Then has a few days to come home, then back to the base. From there he'll be deployed over. This is months away. Ohhh my!! According to what he has been told, the only time we have with him is Christmas and I'm very grateful for that, and the few days he'll have leave. I won't get to see him after that for a long long time. I guess its just the military's way of preparing us all. Is this normal routine?

4. stephcjh (22850) | 1 year ago | I'm sorry to hear that. I am not sure if it is a normal routine now for them or now. I hope you can still enjoy the holidays with one another.

5. camomom (3539) | 1 year ago | My fiance was in the Marines, he was never deployed anywhere but he says as far as he knows it's pretty routine. He also said that there should be contact through mail and phone calls and possibly even internet via webcam. I hope this is true, so that you can still see him when he's gone. It's got to be hard for you and your family. Best wishes to you all.

SuzyQ12 (1893) | 1 year ago | This is the hardest thing I've faced yet. My son is the best form of communication yet. My son has a laptop he is taking with him,hopefully he can hook up to the internet while hes there. I'm learning the military lifestyle is a rollercoaster of sorts. Thank you for your kindness and responding.
