Anyone else have family who isn't familiar with the Military life style? I keep finding myself having to answer questions that seem like they have obvious answers (i.e. no, I cannot go visit a ship deployed to an unknown location in the middle of the ocean) or the same question over and over again (i.e. no, I don't know when he will be home and even if I did I probably wouldn't tell you). I don't know how many times I've answered that question in the same conversation. I keep trying to explain that there are days that he leaves for work and does not know when he will be home (as what day he will be home, not just the time). I've given up trying to explain transferring, people don't get that we don't know precise details of the move. He has a little over a year to go, hasn't even met with the detailer yet.
Just wondering there is anyone else there trying to explain this life to family and how you do it?
