Two Words: Semper Fidelis.
Many of you know that the worst thing a military spouse could possibly do during a deployment is break this code. Being faithful to your soldier is one of the most, if not thee most important rule of deployment. You're the one in the States, surrounded by family and friends- if not, just surrounded by normal, familiar civilians. Every soldier would love nothing more than to be by your side and to disrespect a soldier by being unfaithful is unforgivable. Be grateful that they are defending your life and your freedom, and don't lose sight of why you fell in love with them in the first place. They are worth waiting for. Semper Fi.
Waiting Game.
The rest is simply waiting it out. Keep going on with your life and realize that they'll be home soon. Think of it as any other job and remember that the truth is that you can't make him/her come home any sooner than I or the man at the grocery store can. There's nothing you can do about his deployment now and what happens will happen with you being your soldier's soldier and holding down the home or with you laying in bed everyday closed out to the world. It's best to be able to be strong when he calls instead of make him feel worse about having to leave. Deployments are just a matter of keeping busy, keeping your mind of the bad, and looking into the sunlight. Get all the support you can online and with other family/friends going through the same exact thing. Don't let yourself fall into a rut and just be proud that you are so close to someone who has the courage to fight for your family's freedom and be proud that you have the courage to stand behind them.
