Deployments and Trips

[teamwife8807]

I am feeling a little down in spirit and frustrated. I am really missing my husband and just found out today he may not be coming home when he was originally supposed to be. (Big surprise) I know I should be used to all the schedule changes by now, you’d think anyways. I don’t blame him or anyone else for the changes. I know it’s the way of the military. Though it's a tough concept to grasp when actually going through all the schedule changes. He’s been away since March, and has extended his time. I am missing him terribly. I was getting our house all ready, as well as, making room mentally and emotionally for his return home.

My family and friends’ support is undeniably present and embracing. All these feelings have to do with the whole getting worked up and let down effect going on. I am nervous with the latest happenings; recent loss of team guys over there and the constant worry of how my husband is and his safety. I am concerned with the up and coming elections of our new leaders and my husband’s soon to be commander-in-chief. I just want what is best for him and his/our future. These precarious times make me long even more for my best friend/husband. I just needed to let it out and looking for prayers, support and/or those with similar stories. I hope people don’t mind this posting and I appreciate those taking the time to read.


God willing, I can’t wait to see my BTF (Big Tough Frogman) and experience his wonderful crazy ways again.

With respect and love,
Teamwife

So sorry to hear that teamwife....you know each and every time that "R" is supposed to come home, somehow he's usually the last guy to actually come home and the Frogwife calls me, usually late at night, and vents to me about it.

I hope and pray that just maybe things will turn around, you'll get the call that and in the wee morning hours you'll hear the key turning in the door lock!!

You have every right to be down in spirit and frustrated even knowing that's how it works in the military. Keep your chin up! Somehow I just know that you will!!!

TeamWife,

Please know that my thoughts and prayers of support are there for you and your BTF. I pray that all of the SEAL families are strong today, tomorrow and in the future. Without all of your commitments to this great country we would not be who we are today!

Teamwife, That's a kick in the gut that I've felt before! I'm not sure of your specifics but I know it 's been tough for me when I can't let it out with the gals I've hung out with during the deployment since most of them are enjoying the homecoming and I don't want to mess with that. The constant schedule changes both heading out the door on the deployment and on the way back is something that's hard to get used to even when I think I've mentally prepared myself for it. I know you'll get through this, since we teamwives are good at picking ourselves back up and charging on, but my thoughts and prayers are with you and your BTF (I love that nickname!).

Soccermom (& wife of a BTF that always seems to find a way to be the first one out and last one home)

I have no real idea of what you are going through, but wanted to add my voice of support to you. Best wishes that his delay isn't long, and that you get to see your BTF as close as possible to his original arrival date.

Your BTF is a very blessed man to have a loving wife like you yearning for his safe return.

Hang in there...

I just wanted to send a HUGE thank you and express my gratitude for all the support and prayers sent our way. It's working! I vented it out on the forums, slept on it, woke up and took it out on the pavement with a tough lengthy run. I am feeling much better and time & distance seems more manageable. I also talked with my husband too and he's feeling :( too but he's also :) that hopefully we will see each other sooner rather than later. So thank you again for the out pouring of support, very touching!

It always seems that toward the end it gets to be the hardest. Its like it just drags on. I've been through a few deployments my dh has been on already with the big navy. Thankfully it wasn't much change except for maybe a few weeks early to leave or a few weeks late coming back. I'll be back on the lonely boat here starting around the first of the year.. and from then on out I already know I will be alone a lot.. but thanks to my dh, a friend of mine and this site I am well aware of that and I have somewhat of a clue of how it will be. I am glad you are feeling better teamwife. I hope that time flies for you and your BTF will be home before you know it. :p
