Hey everyone :)

:welcome

Its hard. Its so fuckin hard. But u learn to live with it. We all know what its like.

I am from australia, and before i met dh- i hardly knew a thing about military. Yeah sure my grandpa was in Nam and everything- but that didn't exactly teach me much.

Dh has been gone for 11 months, its been the toughest and saddest time of my life. But here i am- 11 months later- still alive and kicking. Lol so somehow everyday moves on and you still have sanity.

Welcome to the club girl- and u can join my worry wart club too. Cos personally i think im the biggest worry wart on this website. Paranoia is a bitch.

Hello and Welcome Aboard!! If you need anything dont hestiate just pm me!!!

Hello and welcome to SOS!

Any wife or girlfriend worth her estrogen worries about her significant other, that part is perfectly natural :yes I haven't dealt with submariner life but there are plenty of girls here that have and do - I believe Rachael's hubby is deployed right now and he's a submariner...so...just stick around and hopefully you'll find plenty of answers to your questions and even make some friends in the meantime. :) :hi

:welcome
I will not sugar coat it, it is a hard life but you can do it. You are in a good place to get lots of support and help. Just ask..:)

:weldust

I know the feeling. We are finishing our second deployment right now. Its good to keep busy, but life is just different when they are gone. :hugs let me know if you need to talk.

you guys are all so nice!!! thank you :)

welcome!! This is a great place to find some connections and common ground. I was like you, knew nothing of the military when my fiance decided to join. I still don't know much! But I do know that we can all get through it. :hugs

Hello & welcome!:D :hi

It's a crazy life but you learn to work your way through it. I don't know a secret to stop worrying...if you figure it out just let me know :-) We're about to start a year long deployment so if you need to vent just pm me anytime!

HEY WELCOME!
Believe me its tough at times but when you see their face! You know you've got to be strong for them! :) its all such an amazing feeling.

It wont get easier, you'll always miss him and every good bye is hard, BUT you learn how to get through it and what helps and what doesnt. keep this site on ur favorites and you'll be ok! someone is always here.

:hi and :welcome

:wavey and welcome!

Hey everyone :)

I've been dating a Navy man for a little while now.. and before I met him, I didn't know anything at all about the military... and so far, he's my only military connection.

He's leaving to go out on a sub sometime in December for a few months (I hate how everything's such a darn secret)... and I'm hoping to get a little bit better connected with some other people who know what it's like not having any contact with your loved one for months at a time. So hopefully that way I won't be totally oblivious and alone :tears

How do you guys do it? I personally am a WORRIER. I have soooo many questions about everything... and nowhere to turn!! It's just rough because I have no idea what to expect. And I feel awful that I can't do a better job of understanding his job... and I'm soooo worried about adding to his stress... I just... have no idea about anything I guess!! (Haha, sorry I don't mean to sound like such a sob story!!)

Anyway... I look forward to learning more about everyone :)

Take care!!

It sucks :tears my DH has been gone for 5 months today. You worry everyday, pray :pray they are safe and wait. You need to keep busy and vent to us if needed. There are a great bunch of women on here that know exactly what you are going thru. If you need anything just PM.

Good Luck & Welcome
Karen

The best part is coming on this site and knowing that you can put out your feelings and there is an aswome group of women on here that know exactly what you are going through and can help you through anything. Hope to get to know you better. Stay strong!
