OK, we are however many months away from our next deployment. Just got my hubs back from the last year long one back in November, he knocked me up (as romantic as that sounds) anticipating that he will be here to bond with the baby for a few months before he heads out again, and low and behold, the Army screwed us again....He could be leaving as soon as Aug 15th (3 days after my due date...) And the cherry on top is that not only will he be gone for a Year....NOW IT IS 15 Months!!
What a load a crap the government is feeding the general public, They say they are doing it to make it fair on everyone "all soldiers must share the burden" Well, I call BULLSHIT!! This will be my husbands 3rd tour over there. All he wants to do is get out. That is why he signed the Unit of Action contract to stablize our family and for 3 years to include 1 tour in Iraq....well, they locked him in and now they will own us until 2009. They tell the public about this year long downtime at home....well, my hubby just got home in Novemeber, He did get his 30 days of leave, but has worked 12 hour days and now has been in the field for the past week, then he goes to NTC in CA for a month, Then they want him to squeeze in his school for 2 weeks down in Ft Hood....all before August. WOW....That is a NONEXISTANT 12 MONTHS!!!
OK, Sorry for the rant, but I needed it.
On an even more depressing note, I am in the process of taking out another life insurance on my husband. I am just so petrified of this next deployment, after hearing it would be longer, I freaked. I don't know what I would do without him and be left with 4 kids alone in Colorado.....
Sorry, that was a bummer blog.
