to help you make it through these days, that's why

i decided after seeing the countless questions posted on message boards and after seeing the lost and confused faces all over post to finally put together a little survival guide for those facing a deployment. whether it's your first deployment or your seventh, each is difficult and each is different. i've asked some of the smartest people i know, military spouses, how they dealt with and survived their deployments. below you will find a collection of personal experiences to guide you through your deployment. and if you have questions, feel free to ask them. because as they say, there are no dumb questions but the ones that are not asked. we hope that our experiences can help you with your experience.
