Hi everyone. I have to admit that God has been so wonderful to our family. I'm an Air Force wife and my husband has been tasked to go to Iraq 3 times and has been able to get out of it. Well his number is up and will be leaving in August. We knew this would eventually happen but weren't prepared for it. For all the military spouses out there....how do you deal with a deployment? He's been TDY before but never overseas. Thanks

Hi bubbles, I hope you don't mind me answering this discussion, I am not a military spouse but my sister is an officer in the U.S. AirForce and she has been deployed to Iraq 3 times already. She is a single mom and I help her with many of her affairs when she is away. With todays technology we can keep in contact via the internet which is great, no need for that old fashioned snail mail. I send her many care packages that she and her buddies just love to get and I love sending them to her too. I commend and thank all the men and women of our armed forces for their loyal and outstanding work. I pray she remains safe and look forward to her return home. I wish your husband a safe tour of duty and a safe return home too...Support our Troops!

No need to apologize. I'm happy that you did comment on this discussion. Yes, you are right. Technology is a great resource especially with the times we live in. I know we'll be fine as long as we keep ourselves busy and keep our prayers with my hubby and continue to encourage him as all of our troops need us to. I think that it's wonderful that you have been so hands on with your sister. She is very lucky to have your help. God bless
