I feel like my life revolves around the army. My best friend is Special Forces, my bf (my best friends buddy) is in the army and just reenlisted, my friend just deployed and left behind his family, and my best friends little brother just deployed. It's one of the most stressful things in my life but it is my life.

It makes me sad to see wives with help complaining about having to care for their child. You chose to have the baby. Deal with it. Try having 2 kids, one with severe medical needs, having some major health issues yourself, no family around and very few reliable friends. Then. maybe you can say how exhausted you are. Prioritize, plan, execute the plan. Its not THAT hard.

Im so in love with my husband which hes in basic training now but im scared that when he gets deployed he will forget about me or cheat on me from all the rumors i hear of cheatiting . I trust him and i want us to be different and last forever and have a family one day.I hope god blesses my marriage forever . Divorce will never be my option i will stick through as long as hes faithful and love me thats all i need .

Job hunting is a pain in the butt,but I am determined to establish my own career and help to provide for my family.

I hate living in Japan. It stinks and the food sucks. My hubby will be leaving for 6 months, I don't work or have children, and I am miserable. the military doesn't care about family

My husband is such a tool. I'm in a different state visiting family for my sister's wedding and he didn't send me with any money- what so ever. not even a dollar. all the while he's at home, partying it up for his 21st birthday and going out to eat everyday even though we JUST bought groceries after having to take out a 2000 dollar loan to catch up on him not taking care of the bills like he should. he doesn't want me to have anything to do with finances, but look what happens when i don't. ugh.

Dh's unit is set to deploy next spring. They are having a family picnic next month where there will be lots of discussion and information about the deployment. Even though we know lots can change from now until then we still need to tell our elementary age kids before the picnic. I'm nervous about telling them so early.

We moved in over the weekend. No one came to welcome us to the neighborhood. I am so relieved. Only interaction with neighbors I have had was the people in the yard behind us and it was mutual. They are a nice family. I am not all about getting close to people that live on the same street as me tho. I like my privacy too much.

My husband recently got orders to a new base. We agreed that we would look for a house mid way between the base and the nearest university,about a 30-40 min drive either way. Now I find him looking at houses 10 mins from base because he "does not want to drive far." I completed my Masters and then took a break take care of our (preemie) twins, who are now 4. I feel like he is being incredibly selfish, and I wonder what future there is to be had with someone who would behave like that. I have sacrificed a lot for him and our family...

I couldn't be more relieved that dh re enlisted for indefinite, no more re enlistments and no worrying about the military making their cuts. But at the same time I have such anxiety over our kids not growing up around the corner from family, I know our kids will be stronger, and still happy, but it still kills me that we are keeping our parents from truly being grandparents. Still so happy and thankful for another 10+years!
