Overwhelmed....

Was wondering if I will ever get past the feeling of disbelief. I am a new military wife and this is the first time that he has been deployed in our two month marriage.  I go from shock, to saddness, to anger, to feelings of abandonment...and sometimes questioning. Anyone have any advice or calming words for a new and very pregnant military wife.. How do we keep life going when our “rocks” are in the sandbox?

Strange phone calls

I recently had believed that I had gotten one of the phone calls that everyone is buzzing about.. The ones asking personal info. Just wanted to let everyone know that there is a chain of command that needs to be followed if this happens to you.  There are some instances that you will be called and it is legit, but you dont know that if you dont take the right steps first.  First of all dont give out any info to anyone that isnt on the list that was handed to you..the “Deployment Survival Guide” You put yourself and our soldiers at risk by giving out any info. IF you get a call,email, or letter asking any personal info contact your FRG Leader.

Life Goes On

Our soldiers might as well be a world away...they aren't here to see their kids be born, grow up...or to hug, kiss, and tuck them into bed. There are sacrifices for our freedoms..and no one knows that more than the families that are left behind.  Who ever said freedom is free....didn't talk to a soldier's wife.................
