Ideas during deployment posted: 05/23/05 at 7:58 PM

My baby is bein deployed soon and i have no idea what im gonna do when hes gone....does any one have ideas that can make the time seem to go faster?
i started a journal when he left in december to his post and its helped alot....everyday when i wake up i write a lil and during the day if I have time or if something happened that i want to share with him. and everynite i write to him also. It helps me let my emotions out and when he comes home he will be able to read what i wrote.
Im just so used to writing and it has helped out but i need something else to make time go faster and help me with my emotions because im gettin so depressed. Any ideas?

Your still the one
Still the one...

| I got a job and it keeps me very busy! I also send him lots of letters and care packages...oh and the best thing-I started an exercise routine. I go to the gym before work each morning and my fiance has been gone for about three months and i have lost 10 inches already! And I'm feeling great. He's excited cause I'm getting in good shape and it really does help with the stress. Plus I am planning our wedding so that takes up a lot of time also...i think the ebst thing to do is really "work on yourself" eat right, exercise, maybe take a class you've always wanted (i'm going to take healthy cooking classes before he comes home) Hope this helps

| You could take up some hobbies, like scrapbooking, or Going to some Classes like what ObxPrncss said like cooking classes or something. You could spend more time with family and friends. and going to the gym that does help take out alot of stress.

| I take a little bit different approach than Manda's, while I like to see how much time I've already gone through, I liek to break down what is left...like I know when my fiance is getting R&R and so I know whent he half way point until that is and I'm really looking forward to it because its all downhill after that you know? Also, my fiance says "time is always on your side." No matter what time won't go by any slower so everyday you will be closer to see him again! (A little optimism never hurts!)

The journal will definately help! Also, it's very important to just keep yourself busy. Get a job, get a hobby, find something so you're not just sitting around all the time. Good luck!

I can totally relate to all of you!!! I just recently married my husband Damon last week when he was home on leave from the Navy. He only had a week here before going to Japan for a year. I enjoyed our last week together but it was so hard to not think about him leaving and I cried so much. It was so hard to let him go 3 days after gettin married. I am so in love with him and I hate having to be all alone now. I am going through the biggest state of depression now and I can't hardly eat or sleep. I go through spells of happiness when I am with my family or with my friends but there is just no greater feeling than just being wrapped up in his arms!!! And now I have to wait a whole entire year for that, and I have never felt so awful in my life. I just want him to be here with me and I know that I can't be with him at all right now. I just cherish every moment I get to talk to him and I just tell myself that each day is just one more day closer to seeing him again. It will hopefully get better with time but it has only been 4 days and it has felt like forever!!! I would love to meet other people that are going through the same thing so I can have someone to talk to that understands me. All my friends think I am insane because all I do is cry. It's just hard spending the 4th of July weekend without him and seeing all these couples out having fun and knowing I have to do it alone. If anyone can relate to what I am feeling than please feel free to email me or reply to this. (softballchick4_2000@yahoo.com)

| Maybe you could plan a trip to see him. They have plane tickets to and from Japan for like 500 and 600 (from international airports, new york, la, indianapolis, chicago) which isn't that bad to fly to Japan. Also plan things out...I know when you have set dates on a calendar, it makes things go back quicker. Once you're done with one thing, you look forward to the next, and so on...before you know it...he's home. It's hard, but you'll be surprised at what a better relationship you will have because of it. Military couples aren't like other couples, they really learn (at least it's been my experience) not to take each other for granted. And it's just like a lot of hard things, there are good days, better days, and really bad days. You have to be optimistic...chances are he's having an even harder time being without you...because he feels to blame. Sometimes, you have to try to be the stronger one, and when you can do that...it's a pretty great feeling.

08-22-2005
Today was the day i found out that once again my dreams had to be put on hold for yet another millitary deployment to Iraq. This time it was different though he was supposed to get out in exactly 1 month. 1 month thats it and now he is gone again to iraq for a second time. You think it would get easier after the first time it doesn't, not when u exspect him to get out. We are going home to Pennsylvania for 5 days, not telling anyone we want it to be a surprise, we have big families! Our 3 month anniversary is comming up we just got married May 28th 2005 best day of my life! If anyone needs to talk or needs advice i'm here for the second time!

Great Idea posted: 08/26/05 at 11:51 PM

| I think that is a great idea, when my husband first went to Iraq i would always write him letters before i went to bed! But, I love the Journal idea, this way you can keep him up to date with what you do everyday! Your quote about the stars i love because i always tell him to look at the stars no matter where he is at, even if it's that awful place we still have the beautifil stars to wish upon!

| Thank you all for your ideas. This is my first time going through this, so every bit of info. helps. My marine will be deploying Sept 4th. We just spent his pre-deployment leave together. Sure hated to say goodbye. But I know he will be back home! This is his second time over in Iraq. We were just friends when he was over there last time and we got together when he got home. So this deployment is a lot different to me. He will be gone for 7 months. I hope the 7 months go by fast. They sure did when he was home. But we were able to see each other every month and talk every day, so will be different. Thanks again for all your ideas. Like I said every bit helps.

I love you Babe!!
BE SAFE & COME HOME SOON!!

| Lots of letters, care packages. Find a job, heck maybe two if you have the strength to do it. Then save the money and go on a vacation when he returns. Find a hobby to do in your spare time. I'm going to send Kevin a few disposable cameras, have him take pics and send them back and then do a scrapbook for him while he's gone.

| I also do a lot of writing, as you do. Yes it does help. But I have found that investing my time into helping and supporting the soldiers, not only helps them but takes up alot of my free time, and makes me feel good. I got involved with soldiers angels, it's a great thing to get involved with.

| I can relate completely to this! My baby just left a week ago and i miss him like crazy already!! Im so sad, I keep thinking about him and i can't sleep, or eat or focus on my studies. I just want him here now! I hate being left behind. I don't know what to do to deal with this time apart and none of my friends can relate or comfort me...its hard. I feel like I'm completely alone.
