Separation Tips

When your spouse is in the military, spending time apart from each other is inevitable. There is Basic Training, AIT, 24 hour duty, deployments, field training and many more. Dates change he may leave sooner than expected, or train out of state longer than expected.

While separated both of you have a lot of time to think, and sometimes minds can wander. Many times you can not initiate communications, and must wait to hear from them. Your husband will have limited access to phones and computers, if any at all.
It is so important that when he does get to call you, you are happy to get the call. Sometimes you may be having a rough day, week or month, try to stay positive when speaking with him and dont sweat the small stuff.

It is very easy to let a lot of small things add up and get to you, but in the end, it is all just small stuff, that you will soon forget about. Just remember your husband needs your support as much as you need his!
