I'm an air force wife and I haven't had to go through that husband and I have an ocean between us yet and I am wondering, how bad is it? Do you get use to it as easy as they say?

Mine was sent overseas to Korea when my oldest was 1 1/2 and that is a year duty!! It was horrible, If i hadnt had my son i would have gone nuts, now 2 kids later, ages 5 and 1 1/2 we are due in Sept well he leaves in May for four months to iraq. he may miss the birth of our 3rd child. very upset by this but it could be worse, I dont think it ever gets easier. Just gotta keep going, take one day at a time.

Thanks for sharing, right now my husband is only gone monday through friday and comes home for the weekend. He calls constantly on the cell phone so it really doesn't seem like he's gone much. The longest he has ever been away is 6 months for training, but he was always able to call, except boot camp of course.

I haven't had to go through my husband being on the other side of an ocean yet but i have had my family and friends have been and its hard at first but then it's excitement that comes when the time is closer.
