[QUOTE="maxeygirls, post: 349074, member: 8869"] We've had to purchase hundreds of internet cards to have web access but on large bases in the barracks you can use your own laptop with wireless, as well as at all the dining areas (starbucks, burger king, subway). It really is a different military these days. We were lucky, his job should have had him out with the rest of the boys but since easy child was born at just the right time, he went back over after his emergency leave and there was a stable position for him. The level of support for the soldiers has increased tenfold as well. Now they have briefings, training and classes about how to come home the right way. They start to adjust to normal life before they even head home. The boys will arrive home tired but with a full understanding to step back, observe and for a little while at least, follow orders from their wives. Due to difficult child, my husband knows this is a must but thanks to webcam he isn't a stranger. She's gone periods of time without him before, up to 6 months and the adjustment period has been very short. They really are so much alike that I end up feeling like an outsider. Yes husband and I have some issues to resolve, he's screwed up quite a bit over the last 14 months he's been gone but any marriage is going to struggle with so much time apart and ours was already fighting to survive. We'll make it, all four of us will. Like I said, we're lucky. And thank God there will finally be someone else around here to pet the four cats, take out the trash and change diapers! [/QUOTE]
