| | Does anyone have a husband or wife who is over in Iraq right now? My husband is currently stationed at FOB Marez, Iraq. It sure is hard without him home. Is anyone else in this situation? I would love to find other people who are dealing with the same thing I am.

| | My husband isn't over there now but he was sent over there for 14 months, he is afraid though that he will be sent back overseas soon. It was really hard for us the first time, we have three boys together and that was the hardest thing. If u want to talk I'm here for you.

| | Hi,
My ex-boyfriend was in Iraq (Camp Liberty) he's completed 3 tours and is facing a possible 4th deployment. Although we're not together we have remained good friends and I still care for him. The word hard doesn't beging to describe what one goes through when part of your life is an ocean away. My heart goes out to all those who have loved ones overseas and if anyone ever needs to talk I'm always here. God Bless them all and their loved ones.

| | Hi Barbi!
My husband is in Marez as well. He went over there in November which is our first and hopefully only deployment. They definitely leave a big void when they go over there. The only thing one can do is keep busy. It is hard enough just by yourself but I couldnt imagine having to raise children in this environment.

|
| | Mine came back on Easter. It was hard when he left. He was an ACRC slot. Yes, there is that 1% change that he would go. Then that day came. We got 3 week notice. Then he was gone. Most units get 6 months to a yr notice. Try to only have 3 weeks, your house up in trummorals. I have three teenagers. My son graduated from High school and also went in to the army the whole time his dad was over there. He missed that whole yr of what is subposed to be a great yr of a teens life. We moved to a new station. At this station he can go back to check out training every couple months. They go to different places each time. We are hoping he will not go back this yr. We have another child graduating and heading off to college. We hope he will beable to see this one. But, as a military wife we now nothing is in stone. Things change each min of everyday. All three children all know that dad trys to be here when he can. One thing is great. The internet helps out bigtime. We have to keep the home front strong. As a wife and a mother of the militiary family we have to keep our chin up high and drive on. I think that is the hardest thing to do. When you have kids, you don't want them to see us break down. Sometimes that his hard. This is why this sight helps out. You have not just your base, you have the whole military family. They can understand you more then outsiders.:up::up::drill:

| | My husband has also been over the waters and my son is going in April 2007. I think it is harder on me with my son goiyng than my husband,I wonder why this is?
|
|
| | Currently my husband is getting ready to go to Iraq, this will be our 2nd deployment. Just know if you need anything please feel free to contact me anytime.
Tons of hugs ♥Mel®

| | Mel, do you know where in Iraq your husband will be going? Mine is in Mosul. Hopefully he'll be home in April for a little R & R. barbi
|
|
| | Unfortunately not yet, so far we haven't got many details just that he is leaving in July. Right now he is out in the field training but due home on Monday Night I'm hoping to have more details by Tuesday but I will keep you informed. I do know that I will be returning back to the states during his deployment to be with family (We are stationed in Germany currently). I hope your hubby comes home in April (How wonderful!!).
Tons of hugs ♥Mel®

|
| | Yes, I'll be very excited when he comes home. I can't wait. I've already told his family that we're not doing anything when he returns, that's including them. lol. I'm going to be shelfish. I don't want to share him at all. Keep me posted on your husbands deployment. And that's great that you'll be able to come back to the states while he's over there. It's very important to have family around you. Take care. barbi

let me know. My program has more that 60 volunteers from around the country who are so devoted in supporting the troops and we would be proud to send them mail, carepackages, we have "Operation Happy Birthday" that that is very popular.
Right now we are supporting 10 units and we alway have room for more.

| | Barbie I don't blame you on that, one thing that William and I did on our first deployment during RnR was get away.. we went for a couple of days to Jamaica and it was incredible. Just the two of us, no one to bother us and it really helped him relax a lot. Maybe look into a Bed and Breakfast for a few nights and don't tell anyone where you are going?
Thanks about going home, Its going to be a hard deployment since we lost a child in Aug 06 - William will be gone on the first anniv of his death. That will be extremely hard for me to deal with.

| | Hi Mel, I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. If there's anything I can do please let me know. I hear what you're saying about getting away, but there's no one to watch the kids for us. So maybe at a later date. We will see what happens. Take care and I'll talk to you later. barbi

| | My husband is at FOB Warhorse and has been for 5 months and will be until the end of the year. It is really hard, we just had a baby and he left one month before he was born...he finally got to see him in February. My husband just lost a buddy of his and is really upset..and I only wish that i could comfort him but i can only talk to him on the phone.
|
|
| | I'm so sorry that he lost a buddy. And it must be really hard on both of you with having a new born. He'll be home soon. That's what I keep telling myself. My husband is at FOB Marez. Take care and you'll get through this, you both will.
