Military Spouses Support!

[jesusrocksmyworld]

1. Introduce yourself. (For the sake of privacy, you can limit the intro to your spouse's military branch and whether you're stateside or overseas.)

2. Type prayer requests, updates on deployments/PCS'ing, birth announcements, questions/concerns as a military spouse, or just sharing what God's doing wherever you're stationed!

Okay.........I'm a new Army wife (2 weeks tomorrow!!), and my hubby just left last week for basic at Fort Jackson, SC. After his AIT at Ft. Lee (92A), either he's changing his MOS--which means another AIT--or he will request an overseas base as his first duty station. I've lived 10 years in Asia growing up, so that decision would be a welcome experience again. Won't know for sure until July, and then he graduates his AIT in August. But in the meantime, I'm keeping busy at my job here in Utah, staying in touch with his recruiter, waiting for the forms that will enable me to acquire a military-spouse ID. Still considering enlistment myself (MP -- 31B) after cataract-removal surgery sometime in the next year.

Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another–and all the more as you see the Day approaching.
(Heb. 10:25, NIV)​

Hi I'm also a new Army wife. My husband will graduate from basic training in about three weeks (at which time I will spend the weekend dodging my old drill sergeants!). When my semester ends (I'm a university student), I'm going to move to Arizona where his AIT is in the scant hope of seeing him on the weekends lol. Actually we know someone who works down there, and he said it's quite likely.
We don't know where we'll be living....we're kinda hoping for Germany, since my cousin is stationed there.
Though I miss my husband a lot, I'm glad we've had the chance to write letters to each other. In some ways it's a much easier method of communication for me, and I think we've both found out new things about each other!

HI, experienced wife here. Let me see

Dependant growing up
Joined when I was 17
Married another soldier at 21
Been married 6 yrs. on the 22nd of March.

If you have any questions I will answer to the best of my ability.

Oh, we are overseas Army right now, my husband has been in for 14 yrs. and is an
E-7/SFC.

 

[Mirelys]

Katydid, you're just everywhere
Oh, I do have a question for you; being that you're overseas, have you had any trouble finding a congregation?

Hi, Ladies!

Married the Air Force at 24, and we are nearing the end of this merry-go-round. Hubby is E-7/MSgt, stationed at Tyndall AFB, Fl. We've been to Germany, North Dakota, and this is our second base in Florida.
We are now entering the time in our lives when we have to figure out what we want to be when we grow up. After more than 21 years and 2 carreer fields, he has NO CLUE what he's going to do when we retire, in 3 years!

 

[Katydid]

Mirelys, YES, we do not have a congregation and we are playing it safe, though. We are contacting the Rabbi and told him we are Christians who want to see a "real" Passover service and asked if we could come. So, I know it is kinda deceptive since we have had MANY "real" Pesach meals, but, hey, whatever works, right?

Hey, I am Christine and I am married to an Airman. He joined at the late age of 26, which was a year ago. We are at Eglin AFB. This is our first duty station. I am 28.

 

[LostnFound]

HEYYYYY, Christy! We just PCS'ed from Hurlburt to Tyndall (Panama City). How long have you been at Eglin?

 

[Christye96]

Since October of last year. Still a newbie Hulburt is a very nice base.

Are you working outside your home? I have to drive in to Ft. Walton every couple of weeks. Maybe we can share a cup of coffee, sometime. Do you know the IHOP on 98?
