I am feeling so lucky today. I have gotten 7 phone calls from my husband this week. Yesterday I got to talk to him for 45 mins and this morning the phone call was over an hour. I miss him so much and wish that he was here for the 4th. Hope everyone has a fun and safe 4th tomorrow!!!

We are from the Portland, OR area.. but right now, i'm staying w/ family & in a hotel near Chicago/Great Lakes... All of our HHGs are in storage.

when he was brown bagging it he did just fone coming home after training and being a family with us. he would study after the kids went to bed and then we had the weekends together. Where are you living now? We live about 5 mins from the main gate of CL. CL is a huge base. If you want I can inbox you my number and you can call me if you want and I can try and help you find a nice safe neighborhood. The neighborhood I live in is nice. 2 bd town houses that are 2 story and they have a fenced in backyard, 2. bathrooms, they are really cozy. We are going to be moving on base soon in a 3 bedroom.

oops Dh is suppose to say hubby :)

wow. thats not much time together at all. I'm sorry :(
Did being a brown bagger ever get in the way of his training? Like..he wasnt overwhelmed from being in training all day to coming home & being a family? My Dh lives in the barracks now at A-school and he said its better that way b/c it gives him the time to study and focus and then he comes to us on the weekends & has family time.
Where did you live when you got to CL? I want to just find a nice but cheap 2 or 3 bedroom apartment until he is done w/ training at CL & then move to cherry point. So, what are some of the nice neighborhoods we should look at?

My husband graduated FMTB on march 8th and was deployed on MArch 29th. That doesnt happy very often. They werent suppose to deploy until July but the division that he was assigned to got orders to leave 4 months early. So we didnt have much time to be a real family. We moved here in January while he was already FMTB and he was a brown bagger so we got to see him almost every night when he came home. There are times that they will have to be in the field and they wont be home or be able to call for atleast a week. I hope that I gave you some good information about what to expect and whatnot. if you ever need anything else please ask. We are all here to help one another.

TB1983 - When my son got out of BC it was 15 months before he deployed.. So A school and then FMTB .. He did volunteer for Afg...
Also I want to welcome you to our group : ) Is your husband going to CL ?

I have another - off topic- question:
How long after FMTB training did your husband have before he got deployed? Did he volunteer for the deployment?
