lunashock Huh? I'm a bit confused. What is the question? Are you asking about JAG, divorces, or charges against your husband? Who is "they"? The JAG is the military lawyers. You generally have to call them and set up an appointment. As for other questions, you might want to elaborate because I'm not sure what you're asking here. edit: I posted in your other thread. 3nodding Ok the thing is that he abandoned the home and it looks like he wants nothing do with me or our daughter I am confused i dont know what to do about this I am i going to have to pay for my divorce even tho he is the one that caused all this mess...

Eris I sorry to hear about that. I don't know anything about divores so sorry I can't help.
Illiana congrats so exciting. Bet you ready for him to be there already. I know he was just in Korea, but it's still good to hear he's coming home safe.

Hello everyone! I was happy to see this thread. I am an army brat and an Airforce wife. My father was Navy reserves before I was born. When I was about 8, he went active duty Army. My father just got back from being deployed to Iraq. It was the worst year ever for my family. As, my father is transportation and was transporting supplies to various make-shift bases through-out Iraq. He was a main target and his convoys were freaquently ambushed, attacked, and subject to IEDs. His unit has lost four people.
My husband is Airforce. He joined at the end of 2004 and is Law Enforcement- Security Forces. He is not yet currently deployable, as they are under-manned here. I dread the day he comes home to tell me that he is being deployed. I love him dearly and would never wish such an emotional and physical hardship on him or anyone for that matter.
As an army brat I have witnessed alot of things a Military child must face through out his/her life. My father was gone alot because of his MOS/Job. When I was younger I HATED him for this. But as I grew older, I began to understand extactly what was going on. Going to a DoD school helped, because there were other students and teachers who sympathized with my family. It was like having a bigger family away from home. (I went to a public high school for two years and it was just not the same.. it made me feel incredibly lonely and invisible.) I would go to school and find many of my friends crying or unhappy- we had a way of cheering eachother up.
Robert, my husband, was one of the first people I met when I moved to North Carolina. We were stuck at the hip ever since. ^_^ Being married to someone in the military really is a hard job, but I must say- being the child was much harder. I find that wives/husbands who never had someone in the military in their family have a much harder time with their husband/wife being in the military. I find myself often talking to females I go to school with to help them understand that their husbands CANNOT help the situations they are in. This is not a normal 8 hours a day for five days job. (My husband works 14 hours- three days on three days off. He does not always get those three days off. Because he is a base police officer, and this base is undermanned, he is almost always needed. )
If anyone ever needs support, someone to talk to, or if you somehow live close to me- a friend.... I would be happy to listen. I pretty much have heard just about everything, so nothing would suprise me. So, I guess what I am saying is that I am someone who will allow you to cry on my shoulder.
_sorry that was super long._
- Yi Min

Its hard for me to remember that my husband cant controll when they need him to go to work. He just has to go when they call him. It gets kind of hard for me at home when we just had our first daughter...i dont always know what she wants and i get frustrated. but i manage to come through each day knowing that he's here and not deployed. It scared me when he told me that he might have been deployed in december of last year. If anyone would like to pm me i would love to chat with other military wifes and parents. I almost thought that i was the only one on gaia who married a person in the military and has children.

biggrin As you can see, there are quite a few of us.
I should try to look up this poem I saw once about being a military spouse. It went something like...
Oh lord, please give me the strength to see the difference between duty and his love for me...
It's a really sweet poem and honestly how you feel isn't at all uncommon. It can be hard sometimes to take it in stride when duty calls and you can't have him home. But if he ever deploys, we have a few seasoned veterans in here who can help you out. My husband was part of OIF March 03-March 04 [I think Illiana's husband was out there about the same time frame and he's getting back soon from a tour in Korea] and Lunashock's hubby just got home at Thanksgiving time. Angiemademe's hubby might have been out there too, but I have a hard time keeping everyone straight and I know there are some more who have come into this thread. So you're in very good company here. 3nodding

I moved here to louisianna from quite a few states away and i dont have any friends here so im glad that gaia is always here for me.

Yeah I was rather surprized whenI bumped into a pregnant lady in my first few days on gaia. I could have sworen I was the only person over 19. And yes my hubby was deployed to Afghanistan from feb.04 -march 05. It is rough espcially with kids, but we've been there and I'm always glad to offer support.

It really is refreshing to meet people in the same situation. (Whether it be in person or on the internet.)

*insert snoopy dance here*
Well....We're in Colorado. Thought I'd update ya'll to the whereabouts of the missing Crew member. Borrowing a compy which equates dial-up hell, so I won't be around all that much. We move into our new house on or around the 20th. We lucked out and got on post housing the very day we walked in to inprocess. YIPPIE!!!! So hopefully sometime soon after the 20th we'll be back to fully functioning capabilities.
GODS I HATE DIAL UP!!
So....so far we're absolutely LOVING Colorado. It's just wonderful. Even the animals have become better behaved. I think we just needed the hell out of Texas. 5 years was more than enough. All of our stuff is already here. Has been since the 3rd. Which is pretty damn spiffy if you ask me. Now all we have to do is wait for the Army to finish making sure our house is ready. We've already gone and checked it out, and it's pretty nice. It's right smack next to a playground and pretty big too. Only a two bedroom, but that's alright. We'll make it work. We always do.
Just wanted to let you know that we're all alive and well and still lurking about somewhere. Take care all...Laters!
