I hope you guysare getting settled, if you got your housing or living off post and all that stuff. If you need anything or just someone to yell at, Jiny1981@aol.com is my email. I hope its not to scary here for u, just take it a day at a time and you wont be to bad.

Jennifer,
I was in the Marine Corps for 9 years then the Army for 5. Now I am an Army wife. My husband just deployed to Afghanistan for a year. I have 2 teenagers and a 7 month old baby. I have no family here and I live off post. If you need anything, let me know! Get involved with other wives in the unit and the FRG. They can be a great support system.
They have a 4th Of July celebration on Post which is great every year! Email me anytime! cowgirlygirl28 at aol dot com

We are leaving Monday and will be there for the 4th of july weekend! My husband has to check in on July 7th. We are driving. Thanks for your comment. I scared, but i believe im strong enough to hold my family together and get used to the change..., it's gonna be rough on us i think. . We love eachother very much, but my mom has always been my shoulder and rock when i needed someone or something, and now my husband has to take the roll, it will be tough. We as a couple will be fine of course. I am very ok with raising the kids on my own, i've been put here on earth to raise my children and i see my life no other way.

Hi Jenifer, dont be too scared, it is hard no lie there. But we have a great life and you will get to meet lots of people and hopefully your husband has a good MOS and you get to move to lots of places. Like you i am very close to my family, growing up an army brat it was only my parents and brother and I so we are very close. My husband and our family actually just moved back to Bragg from Germany. And just to let you know do not judge your first duty station. You are always going to want to go back home and back to the life you guys once had. But i have made the most amazing friends. Wives that understand everything your feeling, cuz they also have felt the same way you do and did. And the friends you once had are actually not going to understand some of the stuff you are gonna go through in the future with deployments and having to do everything by yourself. It is gonna be scary as you get here, but its something you have to give time and it will be great, and really good for your marriage too. When are you guys supposed to get here? Are you flying or driving in? Well iam gonna run got to get dinner ready. I hope i helped just alil, ill check back to see if you replyed. Jennifer
