Tonight my husband heads out for 5 weeks of pre-deployment training @ Ft. Dix in New Jersey. Although he's in the Air Force, he's actually deploying w/ the Army to Iraq because they're so short handed in their medical fields.Needless to say I'm very bummed. He's supposed to get about 2-weeks back home before he heads to Iraq. I'm hopeful he'll get to come home, but am preparing myself mentally that he won't -- just in case. This is the longest, besides OTS, he's been away from home.This is an early tasker for him as he was supposed to leave in July or August and it disgruntles me that he will be gone all summer long -- miss camping, fishing, birthdays, etc -- and not expected home until Thanksgiving at the earliest.
Much to do to keep myself going and not focused on him being gone; enjoying the summer, scrapbooking, etc.
