Life would be easier with a handbook...

I just sent FI an email saying that the Navy should have a "Now that you're a Navy Wife" handbook....

I have the most random questions this week....Trying to plan the wedding while he is out, rushing through stuff when hes in, emailing a bazillion times a day when hes out etc etc is crazy lol - If we had handbooks that our FIs could give us when the propose, that would make all of our lives easier....

Maybe one day I will write "The Military Wife Survival Guide" lol

    There is a book called Married to the Military.  It is a great book with a ton of info in it.  See if you can find it.  Also, go over to the Military Nesties board over on The Nest.  Find me or a few other ladies.  We have buttons in our siggies that will link you to the MN FAQ page.  Tons of info there, too.

    There is also, "The Idiot's Guide to Life As a Military Spouse". Some of the info is outdated but its still pretty helpful!

    okay i was a military dependent for my entire childhood and part of my teens. I know all about the moving and seperation from a family memember alot. Currently my fiance' is deployed and some days I go crazy without him home.... is it going to be alot different now that Im going to be a spouse rather than a dependent child? Are there things we will get used to? I definitly need a handbook!

    I think your best way to learn is through experience.  You can hear from all different people about how to survive a deployment, and how to communicate with your FI/H during deployment and whatnot, but every person and every couple is different.  

    I think the best thing to learn and come to grips with is that nothing is ever set in stone or a guarantee.  Dates change, leave changes, and many other things.  So just always know that things might change.  

    Feel free to ask any questions you have on here.  There are women married or engaged to men from all branches, and also women in the military themselves.  My H is Navy so I can hopefully answer a lot of questions for you.  Feel free to ask me whatever, or PM if you ever need to.
