Since we have the luxury of having him in Cuba where there is internet access, at least once a day. And all day when he's not working. We use Yahoo Instant Messanger.

While deployed? It varied on if email was up, he could call or whatever. I always made sure I emailed at least 1 time per day and he made sure to email me at least once every 3 days so I knew he was fine. That of course was if email was up. He also called every 3-4 weeks or whenever in Port.

Before we had email it was just whenever I got a MARS gram or snail mail

My husband and I email each other several times a day and we only get to talk on the phone when he's in port.

When John was deployed I would email him a few times a day (as long as the email was up). He would email at least once. The first deployment we did together he was TAD to secuirty and somehow was able to call for free so he also called me once everyday. The second time he only called while in port and that was at least once a day.

The first 2 times my husband was deployed we would talk at least 2 times a day. I was Active Duty then and could call him on the DSN phone on my desk. The 3rd time we talked maybe once a day and e-mailed back and forth for about an hour every other day.

When dh is deployed I usually get an email from him once a day unless he is busy or the email is down. I emailed him everyday.

depends where my husband was at...........

certain deployment sites he was able to call daily.....had a phone in his room with an answering machine and internet access. Other sites were so much more remote that I have gone weeks without hearing from him.........

hang in there.

It depends:

If he is on shore duty and he is on my nerves then I try not to talk to him to often :lmao
When he is on sea duty and on a ship email is great as long as it isn't down. When he hits a port he calls every day that he can

This deployment we really only get to talk to him when their in port, which hasn't been much. The phones on the ship aren't always working. He tries to email about once a day. But I know he's been working real long hours.

It really goes on a day to day basis with us... Sometimes I won't hear from him for a few days, sometimes i hear from him mulitple times... I think you just have to be understanding that there are things that they are not in control of. I'm sure that she'll contact you as soon as she can. Stay strong, it'll be fine

My husband is out to sea at the moment and I get atleast 4-5 emails a day so far.

depends on how busy he is on the ship and if email is up or down... they've been in ports this deployment that don't have phones that work with the phone cards DH has. The phone on the ship was broken by a punk who had only been on the ship for 3 weeks too... but under normal circumstances I get 1 email each day and I email him at least once a day!

We try to e-mail once a day, but sometime it'll be a few days in between with his responses. We talk on the phone once every 2-3 weeks generally. There have been times when he's been away though and I haven't heard from him for a week. :(

He tried to email at least once a day while on deployment however that wasn't always possible. Sometimes it would be a day or two sometimes a week or two, it just depended on where his ship was and what they were doing on the ship. He would call as often as he could but being in reactor that didn't seem that much. He'd call about once every three weeks to a month or if they were in ports which then he would call multiple times a day. I know phone calls from the ship seemed almost pointless because they seemed to cut in and out ALL the time and there was more calling back than anything. Hang in there, she'll call as soon as she can.

He's on shore duty, so we talk everyday after work, and usually during our lunch hour. We try to email during the day too. He comes home a few times during the week, & on the weekends. He is stationed in Rhode Island & I'm in Mass. So we try to make efforts to see eachother but it's difficult with gas prices so high.

When my husband is deployed it can be days or weeks between e-mails and we can only talk when he is in port.. but that's because he's on a sub and I know you're wife isn't on one of those lol

I hope you hear from her soon.

EH, when my DH is underway/deployed, we only talk if he is able to call me on his phone. Which is maybe 1x a deployment, sometimes more. I don't really need to hear from him everyday, and I know he needs to do his job while gone, so I do not bother him, unless it is an emergency, which so far has never happened, thank goodness.
But, IDK, if she is super busy, or unable to get to a computer, that may be why you have not heard form her. I am sure you will soon! Good luck

We would only get a call when he was in port, depending on how long they were there. But he got to email me about everyday, unless email was down.

When Glenn was in Bahrain, he called every day that they were in port, he also bought a prepaid Bahraini cell phone so that I could call him when I needed to, and so he wouldn't always have to stand in long lines to call me. We'd also email back and forth and a couple times I got to see him via webcam.

I hope you get to talk to your wife soon.
