When you drop off your SO for dets, and you have to have him there at like 5 am or another time earlier than you're normally functioning, do you get ready for the day before you take him, or do you kind of throw on something that's somewhat presentable and not really worry about how pulled together you are. I, personally, haven't given a crap about making myself look pretty to drop him off for these past two dets :giggle I brushed my teeth, put on a sweat suit(you know, the cute kind with the matching jacket and like flare pants) and put my hair in a pony tail and I was ready to go. How about you guys?

I don't get all dressed up or ready........haha he just gets dropped off. Usually he needs to be dropped off around the same time the kids go to school so it's a mess. I just drop him off and wave goodbye.

It would depend on if I was getting out of the car. If I stay in the car my pj's work. If I have to get out and be around other people I would put on some jeans.

I've only dropped him off at the airport. Once he took a cab (I had flown to AK so couldn't take him), once we went to the gate with him and the last time I dropped him at the curb since I couldn't go past security anyway. The earliest I had to do it was 8am.

I just throw on something to make myself look presentable and I throw my hair up in a ponytail.

:yes

I just go in my pjs.... and my hair gets pulled back. cause i go home and go right back to bed.... : teehee

haha I go back to bed too :giggle These past two times have been on weekend days, so I'll be damned if I'm up and functioning before 9 LOL

same here. if he is lucky i MIGHT brush me teeth!!:lol half the time i dont even park. just stop, he gets out, and i go back home.

Usually sweats and Pj's. I hate long drawn out goodbye's.

me too! :giggle

last deployment I wasn't there to see him leave and the next one he will get a ride from a friend because he wants to have his mind on what he has to do, not leaving me crying. we cry together the night before, it's easier for us both that way.

Lucky for me, he's only left for dets in the afternoon. If he left at some crazy 5 am time, I doubt I'd wake up early just to look cute. I'd put on jeans and a little makeup, but that's it.

It depends. If I have to turn around and get the kids ready by the time we get home than yes. If not than I throw a sweatshirt or t-shirt on with Jammie pants. I used to wear my slippers when I would take him in.

If he is going for more than 3 months I dress normal at that time of morning if it is regular hours I usually dress casual dress.

He's never been gone longer than a month, so I usually just go in my PJ's :giggle

When we were down to one car for a while I was taking him to work, I just crawled out of bed and threw on a sweater.

when dh leaves for fex at like 5ish i just roll out of bed around 4. i watch him get ready but i just go in jammies with the sleep barely rubbed out of my eyes

I go in sweats or the first pair of shorts I find :pinkie
We never :no sleep the night before so I always come home and cry myself to sleep :tears

Once I'm up most likley I wont be going back to bed so I put some jeans and a tee or blouse. Both of the times he has been gone I've go in the terminal and wait till he leaves.
