Hi NavyWifey1331, thank you for the invite, and just want to let you know that I got my husband's box yesterday, I thought it's going to be smelly, but I can still smell his perfume on it. I almost cried. :( Did you get your form letter yet?

Comment by JamieA on August 29, 2017 at 6:53pm
Hi NavyWifey1331 my husband left for BC on Aug23, i'm currently on the waiting game for The Box and the letter for the PIR Graduation ❤️

@sailormade I have written him every day while he has been in boot camp. Judging by how this is going, I don't look forward to his underways at all. I'm kind of glad he'll be a Nuke because that means he'll be in school longer, and we have more time without being separated.

Comment by sailormaid on July 27, 2017 at 1:18pm

@Navywefe — I know exactly how you feel; when he's gone, even if it's just for a few days, I get really depressed and have trouble staying focused and trouble finding the motivation to do basic things (like feed myself or run errands).

It doesn't really stop sucking, but the best thing you can do is keep yourself busy. I've got a bunch of home improvement projects and outings with friends planned for most of my husband's upcoming underways.

Also, write to him as much as you want. Especially while he's at boot camp. Those letters will mean the world to him. Even when my husband is in River City I still email him, sometimes several times a day. It's one-way communication, but it still takes the sting away a little bit and I feel more connected to him.

So, I have to vent a little bit. I am missing my husband terribly. He is at basic training right now. I haven't told anyone this but, when he left I felt really depressed. It felt like he had died and I was grieving his loss. That sounds really stark, but it felt that way. I didn't touch anything in our house. I didn't want to spend time at home, except to sleep. It's getting a bit easier now, but it's still tough sometimes. Has anyone else ever experienced this? Grieving, I mean.

Good morning everyone! Just wanted to say hi since i'm new.

Comment by abuon18 on January 26, 2016 at 1:04pm
If it's not expired yet you can get it renewed without your husband having to be with you. You will need to bring a signed DD 1172 or have a POA to sign it at the ID facility. Best bet is to google RAPIDS ID locator to find the one closest to you and make an appt in advance. Some you can walk-in but the wait is forever.

It is going to expire next month, when I initially got it it was only good for six months. My husband has since finished Boot Camp and some schooling.
