Wtf.
I saw a conversation on a friends FB page, she was saying how she's happy this deployment is almost halfway over for them, and this girl starts saying that she doesn't like how mil wives get all this sympathy and always bitch and moan when their Dh is gone, after all she knows just how they feel since her bf was in jail, and jail is the same as a deployment.......
Wtf. I didn't say anything, because ya can't fix stupid, and I don't know the girl anyways (she's a friend of my friend) but I thought you ladies would get a kick out of it.

I'm sorry this made me laugh only because I always joke with my husband and call the phones in Afghan prison phones because when he has a minute left on his calling card it beeps like a prison phone then hangs up. But no it's not the same you get to go visit your husband in jail and have sex, we don't have the luxury of getting some while our men are gone. Don't let it bug you too much OP. Laugh it off.

Well, both can be hard, and they have people who miss them (I assume)....

But let's see... one is a selfless choice that a person makes when they choose to defend their laws and serve and protect their society, and the other is a selfish choice that a person makes when they choose to break the law and threaten attack, and undermine their society...

Yeah, I can see the similarity there... sort of like tootsie rolls and crap are the same, after all, they're both brown and come in log shapes....

I'm so tired of the whole pissing match.. I see wives comparing deployment to other things and its annoying. Everyone's experiences different emotions during a separation. If you don't like the opinion, just ignore it.

Ok ladies all the "pissing contests" aside How do you do this? I was deployed twice single both times so only had my sisters that worried I didn't call often enough. But my boyfriend just got thrown in county jail Monday. (2008 he re-ended a matte black vehicle parked on a green light on his way home @11pm two people hurt = 2 felony vehicular assult charges & 6 yrs probation) they say that somebody witnessed him driving (a violation of his parole even though he is legally licenced through the DMV). We just closed on our new house on Friday & I'm thinking (besides I want him home) how am i going to do everything myself? I'm working on thinking out how to manage things if he doesn't get out and it mirrors prep for my deployments only in reverse roles.
All I can think of is how the way feel now is how all the wives and families must feel. I have to wait for him to call me when he does the phones suck we can't talk anything that could compromise his position(legal) I pray nothing happens between calls. I got to "visit" with him. It was a non-Internet video chat - worse then Skype & we were only 500 ft away from each other!:-( but it felt as bad as an ocean or 2. So I really need to know how you all do this sort of stuff on your own all the time? I have to pack, move, unpack & set up the new place in my own let alone get through. Normal day waking up without him eating alone paying all the bills & not seeing his daughter. Hope I don't peev anyone off just lost lonely and worried that if he feels any off the stuff I felt while I was deployed, the isolation the lonelyness and the constantly being
on guard. I worry how we are going to pull back together again. I think it is along the lines of an earlier post him being in jail due to a terrible accident and power tripping government agencies is not the same as the 2 deployments, but the seperation feels pretty much the same to me except I not only have to keep myself together I'll have to pick up a 2nd job to hopefully break even.
