Aw big hugs. Honestly, it was harder and scarier in my mind than it really was in actuality. And it is hard to be the one at home waiting, but you'll have to remind yourself of all the good things YOU Have that he doesn't. A bed, a hot shower, eat what you want, when you want. Oh man, I was a mess the month leading up to his deployment. Then, it was like, "oh....okay i can do this". I'm not prior military, but from a been-there-done-that now-army wife, you can totally do it. Utilize the FRG group if you think it'll help. I found online support boards for a few weeks and found it helpful. I hope you can find a civilian job that works for you!
I know this is an old post... but thank you for writing it.
Almost two years ago my husband and I both applied for commissions to the AF. We were accepted, but right before my husband was scheduled to leave for OTS his commission was dropped (they stopped granting age waivers, and his recruiter forgot to file his prior). My huband applied to the Navy and was accepted as a SWO which meant he would be out to sea for 6-8 months of the year and it would be highly unlikely we'd see eachother for years.
After a long talk, we decided it would be best if I went back to school instead. Sometimes I'm jealous of him, but overall, I'm ok with the decision. I wasn't interested in being in the Navy and the Air Force would have meant a probable divorce at some point.
Well, I am officially out now. Got out in November, still looking for a job! Its not easy! I miss the military, I HATED having to get out. I am proub of my man and wht he does and wish I could have more of a part in it then I do. so now I am trying to get a job on base that works with military familes and helping them with anything and everything. Fingers crossed, have my aplication in and was told they would get back to me about an interview!!!
Other then that, it still has been a HUGE adjustment. having so much times on my hands now is driving me stir crazy! It was so hard taking my uniform off for tha last time and packing all my uniforms up and puting them away! : (
One step at a time! Ugh!
By the way @Maureen- THANKS!!!
Really wish we had more interaction in the military section here!!

Sorry, there are no users yet.
so, FI and I are both in the Military, and I am scheduled to get out in less than a month! I am SCARED out of my mind. for the most part my reason to get out on this term of my service is due to injury and being unable to perform my Flight duties. THIS SUCKS! Its so horrible but I cant help but be jealous of my FI, I mean I dont by ANY means hold anything against him, but its going to be hard to be the one at home waiting, the one not serving! I dont want to get out, but there is little choice due to my injury. I just cant imagine not being in anymore, I think its going to drive me NUTZ!!! Such a transition and a scary one! Of course I will have no problem being nothing but supportive to my FI! but I know I will just want to go to work with him everyday because its everything I am going to miss. Anyone prior military that is now a dependant?
