2. What are your favorite perks about your s/o being deployed (we all know there are perks)? submitted by Ramblings of a Marine Wife
*We save LOTS of money that we probably wouldn't otherwise.
*We save LOTS of money that we probably wouldn't otherwise.
*Deployment is like a great class in learning how to communicate better with your spouse. Since you only have short periods of time to talk/write, you make sure you say the important stuff and always end with an I love you. We should be like that more often and deployments are a reminder.
*Is there anything better than getting a homecoming? It's like a new honeymoon period all over again. Most people don't get to experience that more than once.

4. What do you think your would do if s/he wasn’t in the military? submitted by Adventures of M-Squared
He may have gone to law school, or maybe he'd be teaching history. Our life sure would be different; the military has been part of our life since we started dating in college. I can't imagine our life without it.

5. If you could talk to the Secretary of (fill in your appropriate branch) what is one suggestion you would like to bring to their attention in order to improve the lives of military families? submitted by My Life as His (Air Force) Wife
This is a tough one. There are so many important topics that should be discussed. I would probably want to point out the effects of frequent deployments on children and families from my personal point of view. I think they need more dwell time between deployments. I know the Army is aiming for this, and I hope we actually see it.

Dwell time is a big one!
I am very much looking forward to our "new honeymoon" when my husband returns home. :-)
