I'm still relatively new to the military lifestyle and our first duty station together was pretty much a non-deployable base. So now that we and many of our friends are with deployable regiments, I'm experiencing the part of military life that I'd been spared from so far.
Given the current state of affairs in the world, deployments have become a way of life for many military members and their families. We have people close to us that have husbands on 3rd and 4th deployments. Recently, it seems like we're sending someone off every other week. And it's a painful thing to see the families face all the uncertainty and separation involved, especially when there are little ones.
Feeling so helpless and a little lost, I hope I can offer some sense of comfort and support to my friends. I will continue to ask God to watch over those brave men and women and bring them safely back to the families that love them so much...
