Date: 7/31/2009 11:27:00 PM From Authorid: 61977 Good Luck Nakoma! I know it will be hard on all of you. You will be in my thoughts, and before you know it he will be home again! *hugs* |
Date: 7/31/2009 11:38:00 PM From Authorid: 61968 I wish him the best. Basic will be a trying time for him, as well as you, but stand strong by your husband, man, and Soldier. Its to bad that he isnt coming to Fort Jackson. I would be able to update you on what he is doing, as I am a Drill Sergeant here. |

How long is his Basic, Amanda? Craig comes home on Friday. Amanda, the hardest part is Little Man. You'll be so worried that he's handling it well, you won't have time to feel sad. Not to mention, he FORCES you to continue to smile, and go on, so that HE won't feel like crying and stopping. Being a military wife, means being strong for at least two people (I, myself, am going to have to learn to be strong for three real soon). Sometimes, you break down, but that's ok. It's tough, but I know you have it in you. |

Date: 8/1/2009 3:36:00 PM From Authorid: 22852 @}~~ You are all in my thoughts and heart {but you know that already} {{{{{HUGS}}}}} |
Date: 8/1/2009 3:49:00 PM From Authorid: 54570 Reminder.... Do not send him any letters with perfume or heart dotted I's. Thats an instant smoke session for him. Buy him plenty of stamps and notebook paper and envelopes as well. He can carry those with him. Its only for six weeks unless he is going through his AIT. Thats anywhere from three weeks to eight weeks extra. Good Luck!!! |
Date: 8/1/2009 5:18:00 PM From Authorid: 63241 I hope Basic turns out to be easier than you thought it would be, Nakoma! I'm praying for a circle of protection around you and your family. Thank you for your service of our country! Beautiful pictures of your family. Thanks for sharing! |

Thank you everyone so much for the replies. His Basic/AIT is 24 weeks. Basic is 14 weeks of that. So, he'll be gone, from what I have been able to gather, around February. He gets to come home two weeks in December though, so it's probably really only 22 weeks. Still a long time. I hope it goes by fast. Thank you to everyone offering to listen if I need a shoulder. I probably will be taking ya'll up on that soon. Also, thank you to each of your husbands and wives for their service, as well as your's. I know I'm a "newbie" military wife, but with that said, I know the spouses also do a lot of hard work too. My heart goes out to each and every one of you, and I hope each one of your hubbies/wives come home soon. He leaves at 1pm tomorrow. These last few days though, we've had adventure after adventure, just spending as much time together as possible as a family. *hugs* |
Date: 8/2/2009 9:57:00 PM From Authorid: 7341 I love the pics...so cute! Good luck Nakoma! And Amanda...you're an amazing strong woman! It will be hard, but you're a wonderful mama so you'll do great... |

Oh wow, what a BEAUTIFUL post, babygirl!!! I can't add anything to this, you said just about all of it except maybe how much his Mom-in-law is going to miss him!!! I love him and will grieve his leaving too. And TODAY is the day. This is going to be a hard week, but we will all get through it. Remember, babygirl, as much as WE miss him, and as hard as it is on us to see him leave, it will be much harder on HIM!!! HE is the one really sacrificing for you, lil man and our Country and HE will be alone. All he will have are the letters we can send every day until he gets to AIT. NAKOMA..... we ALL love you so much and you ARE in our hearts, every minute of every day!!! OHHHHHHH, that pic "MY DADDY.... .....MY HERO" speaks volumes here. Nakoma is his lil man's hero as well as ALL of our HERO!!! I am here for you, babygirl, and he will be back with us all sooner than we realize, Thank God!!! Love you all |
