Navy deployments

ggirl, stan- I love the positivity you guys have about deployments Sure, it can suck being apart, but if you focus on the positives, I also think it can help keep a relationship young and vibrant, as long as both parties are communicative and don't promote drama.

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: Navy deployments : Stan I think you're starting to rub off on me. I see people b!tching all over Facebook and I'm just like "eh". When he leave again, I'll adapt and continue my routine.

I'm sure when it actually is imminent, I'll be dreading it, but right now I'm really excited for FI to deploy (eventually).  I think Stan's views on that helped make me more positive about it.  My friends freak and think it's like this awful dreadful thing, but I'm really hoping he deploys early and often right as soon as he finishes TBS!

I know that for me being long distance for so long helped me adapt to deployments. Now, I know h doesn't want to do another west pac so I feel bad for him on that account. I actually think he will struggle more with the next one than I will.

Kendall- You're absolutely ridiculous.  You make my head hurt really badly.


I'm excited for H to deploy, and even though I kind of wish that it weren't going to be so soon after he comes back state-side, I mean who can blame me for actually wanting to be a newlywed!, but I'm excited for him because he's so excited to do what he was trained to do.. rather than to sit behind a desk..

Ditto GG!  We were long distance for so long I am just going with the flow.  I have good days and bad days but in the end I just think of it in terms of a school year.  It makes it seem much shorter to me than it really is. 

Do I want him to be at home? Yes
Is that going to happen any time soon?  No

So for me b!tching about is not going to do anyone any good.  I love him, married him and this is his job so I deal.

Cal- impressive memory, you should provide a study guide for the rest of us who can't keep track of the stories.

Oh man, this thread just got so much more interesting! Love it. 

I'm telling you ladies, Kendall is still troll-ish to me despite the wedding pictures she posted. I don't even remember half the crap she's said before. 

I also agree with PPs that being LD really helps someone adapt to deployments.

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: Navy deployments : Really?  You're 19, right?  And you've been with your H for a year now (a year and a month, since I know you pick up the most RIDICULOUS details to correct, rather than addressing the point).  So you were 18 when you guys started dating.  Deployments in the Army are typically over a year, and Marines are a little less than a year.  So did you date two guys in the two years leading up to meeting your H?  Who were both military, and you dated them exclusively for the time they were deployed?  Or did you somehow start dating them before they deployed, which means it would be more than 2 years total... so you'd be 14 or 15?  And they would have to be at least 18 to deploy so....  yeah, this just sounds like a mess to me.

I dated the marine (who to this day is still my best friend.) for 3 months before he broke up with me while he was gone. And I dated the Soldier for a year and a half when I was 16-17. He was 2 years older than me.

[QUOTE]If it is true that you went through deployments with 2 previous mil bf's (which sounds really unlikely for all the reasons that Cal stated) and now you're married to another mil servicemember and you're only 19, somebody sounds an awful lot like a tag-chaser to me. just saying. and Cal- I love you. I'm still wondering about those pics too.  I'll take some advil too.

One was my best friend and we dated to see if it would work. The other I had no idea he was in the military until like 2 weeks after we started dating.
