So just recently learned that his deployment has moved up. Not sure how to feel about this, I am obviously upset because I don't want him to go but at the same time since he has no choice I am ready for him to just go already so we can get it over with. My mom and stepdad are planning to come up and see us before he goes, hopefully they are able to.
As of now he has been in the Army for 6 years, are there plans for him to re-enlist? I honestly have no clue, yes we have talked about it on numerous occasions. He changes his mind on a daily basis, some days he wants nothing to do with the Army and other days he loves it and wants to stay in until he can retire. What do I want him to do? Honestly, whatever he chooses, I am not the one going to work everyday. Do I like being a military spouse? The answer is simple, I LOVE IT. I have a wonderful, hard-working husband who I could not be more proud of, we have amazing healthcare, not very good pay, but we do have housing. Am I tired of all the deployments? You bet I am, this is going to be number 3 for us.
We have some friends in Colorado, who we love to pieces and miss so much. He is currently deployed, while she is at home with three young children. His re-enlistment window is open right now and I would love for them to move closer to us. They are unable to be at our post because he is not airborne, but there are a few posts very close to us. I suggested a few to her, the furthest being 9 hours away and the closest being 2 hours away. There is a chance he isn't able to go to any of them or may not even want to, but i would love to be able to spend time with them again. We would be able to plan trips to see each other, meet at the beach or Disney World since we all want to go there.
