Wives, when did you join your sailor?
When were you able to join your husband? I decided to wait to join mine when the navy helps pay for the move. With me being a planner, I know its impossible but how long or at what point were you able to officially live with your sailor again?

Sarah I know what you mean by saying you never thought you would be apart after A school. My husband left for bootcamp on Feb. 25 and his A school was also very short so I knew I wouldn't be living with him until he got to his first duty station. What I didn't expect was him being sent to a ship that is already deployed, right after he got done with leave after A school. I thought we would be moving to Virginia together this month but we just found out we won't be able to live together until the end of this year/beginning of next year. I thought with him having such short schooling we would be living together in no time, instead we will be apart for almost a year from the day he left for bootcamp until he gets back from deployment. It is frustrating and not what I expected at all, but we are trying to stay positive.

Brooke. Wow that is shocking to me. So he deployed right out of a school? I thought that doesn't happen often but wow. I bet it is so hard to be apart that long. It will be an adjustment but we will get through it.

Yeah he came home from A school for 13 days then went to his duty station and will be there for a couple weeks before meeting up with the ship for the end of their deployment. I didn't realize that could happen until he told me. I hope you and your husband will be able to live together as quickly as possible!

I also had the same experience as Brooke. We found out two weeks before my husband graduated a school that the ship he had just been assigned to had deployed 2 months earlier. He went on leave briefly after graduation and then flew overseas and met the ship. He was gone for over six months after that. This is actually a very common experience. I joined him after the deployment at his new duty station. At that point, he had been in the Navy for 11 months.
