Dear Betty, I hope you're holding up well upon hearing about your hubby's deployment. It's tough for sure, anything longer than 3 months is tough. Whenever my hubby goes overseas for work for 1-2 weeks, I always welcome it because it frees up time for me to do the things I want to do...

Betty, yup I don't even know how the issue got derailed into a whole rank thing by some people who are outsiders and don't even have anything to do with the SAF anymore beyond their reservist commitments. SWC = SAF Wives Club

I just realised it's actually 7 months, not 6 months.

noobparent, you said "when on overseas posting for extended periods without the wife, how is the man going to satisfy his needs? It is a very real issue", a statement I find puzzling. It's as if you live in a bubble where SAF personnel are the only people in the world who go overseas for work.

I have 100% faith that my hb will never ever. :o)

betty (bettyong25) that is an excellent idea. In fact, it's an idea I've had before. A SWC! Heehee. We can relate and understand what each other is going through, which other wives may not.

noobparent, that isn't a very nice, polite or accurate thing to say. Everyone should be and is treated with respect.

Thank you so much, Beautiful princess. I'll be trying my best to stay positive. As for the chores, i will enlist the help of guy friends and my hubby's friends for those I cannot do on my own. lets hope I survive the next six months.

Yeah, my hubby also has to make frequent work trips overseas, when he's not on long deployments like this. The loneliness does suck. I think it's probably worse for the SAHMs. But I think the reprieve to the sanity is worth it. I feel shitty and lousy due to work rather often.

hi Bouncy, I don't think so. The hassle is way too much. Are you a SAHM or a FTWM?

Yup, the US bases and schools are the most excellent from what I know. Not only are the houses beautiful (and big), the community is self sufficient and there is excellent spousal support network. Quite excited. I think I will naturally make friends with the other wives when I reach...

Hi Bouncy, quite surprised to hear that. I heard of many instances where army, navy and air force personnel brought their family over to where they are posted. They have even given birth there and raised babies in the residences of the personnel, which are located at the bases in US, UK...

iLikePink, Thanks for the tips. I've emailed him a list of questions regarding how to do some of the chores. We've been using 3M tapes to hang things to the wall. Only plasma tv we drilled a hole into the wall. Just that i don't know how to do it. Nope its not that my whole house is carpeted...

Bouncy: Yesss the loneliness sucks. For me, the chores are troublesome, upsetting because I'm not familiar with doing these things at all. It makes the loneliness feel worse, but the loneliness is really the main problem. Even spending time with my friends after work and on weekends, and...

Hi.. can mommies stationed in the US recommend and advise on which insurance to get for health/giving birth in the US? I will be going to the US in 2011. My hubby and I plan to give birth there so that our child will have US citizenship. This is so when we send our kid to study in the US, she/he...
