Deployment is looming

Like the tall shadowy figure that hung out in your childhood closet Deployment is looming... its the stuff of nightmares...and well I cant go on for fear of the trauma. Actually deployment isnt that bad, it really isnt for the one at home at least. yeah it gets lonely, at night especially, and 6 months plus being the only parent at home is completely draining but you find friends, you pick up new hobbies, and you get yourself busy...I swear the busier you are the faster the deployment goes by. Last night we had a predeployment brief. For you non military people thats a meeting with the command for married Sailors, and what ever wives decide to show up. It was entirely way too long and it was boring,yup wicked boring. I am glad I went though, you know playing the whole "supportive good little wife" is a good thing. But more importantly it has made one thing very clear, deployment IS coming, well maybe. If you didnt already know.... /center> Thanks Oprah, sit back down. So what does this mean? Well it can mean everything or nothing, it means he MIGHT deploy as scheduled, it MIGHT be delayed, it MIGHT be cancelled all together (doing what I like to call "pulling a Truman ;) ) or they even MIGHT go out on time but come back late. Its fun... yeah hurry up & wait has taken a whole new meaning.
