It's awful that the news of the black hawk crash was on yahoo news not even a day, yet celebrities having babies or getting fat will be up for days. Those 4 people lost their lives and hardly anyone knows.

The distance is starting a strain, especially with the current news of Korea, and that's where he's at! It's only one more month though & then we can finally get married, i love my soldier.

A man that I've been dating has Orders for deployment in 6 months:( when he told me the news I I was truly depressed and wanted to just end our newly budding friendship:( but I can't. I really have never meet anyone like him before! I'm just not sure how to deal with him leaving in 6 months! Help

3 units fro here have deployed to Iraq in the past 2 months. I thought we were done there. Hmm, this is why I never listen to the news.

Last week DH got news he's being stationed in Germany for 2 years. He leaves in 4 months. He wants me and DD to go but I don't see the point...he'll end up deployed for a year, he's infantry so we will never get to see him due to training and working late. At least here in the states DD & I will be near friends and family. I don't trust planes/pilots/airlines anymore. Just because I'm choosing not to go, doesn't mean I can't be upset about it. I was depressed in bed for 3 days after I heard the news. I cry every night. At least I won't have to worry about getting pregnant for 2 years lol

no news is good news. no news is good news. no news is good news.

Military life sure does take us thru curves and bumps. At times the world seemed so dark. But I try to always look at the bright side. This story makes me sick to stomach and feel for those poor little boys. Powell story was so sad and makes me so upset. This is why I hate watching the news. May god be with those two little boys. I get frustrated about certain issues and try to stay focus. But this story definitely hit my heart.

your husband is being erb'd cause he is a bottom feeder,,stop getting on the news and crying about it

Hopeing for good news when I finally go home, so sick of bein here that I dont have my christmas spirit like I used too. If Im stuck here though the weekend then FXH seriously goin to wish he got his act in gear a long time, bc I will seriously come hell on earth. The few friends I have here have gone home to visit family, or on a cruise. So Christmas will suckin with the bastard of FXH. I miss my daddy!

I'm not a military wife... I'm a military sister, friend (best friend as well in one case), cousin, daughter, niece, granddaughter, grand niece... The works. So I'm sure I speak for all of us when I say, the wives aren't the only ones who feel the deployment. I cried when all of my friends deployed. I cried when my best friend was nearly killed. I was with his mother when we got the news that he was safe. We clung to each other and cried. It's not just about the wives. It's about the whole family, including friends that are like family.
