Sorry your DH has 2 deployments. I usually feel worse for Navy wives than Marine or Amry wives during peace time since Navy ships go on deployments every 6 months but with Marine deployments they are on land, usually hostile which sucks since they are right there. A deployment is a deployment and all around they suck and are hard. CNN is in your face all of the time, even if you turn it off at home, the doctor's office, eating out etc. Many time my boys will catch a Marine on TV and think it is their Daddy and I get their attention away very quickly since it is usually someone hurt, dead or in gun battle. I have always tried really hard to keep their attention elsewhere. This next deployment will hard since it is back on land to Iraq again and my oldest has clue since we live in a huge Marine town. I pray the region stabilizes some. Good luck to you!
