The Mr. left today for Rota Spain. The Navy seems to think sending a bunch of guys across the Atlantic to fix a boat was a good Idea.....who am I go argue? So reluctantly I took the Hubs to the airport....said our goodbyes, a couple airport appropriate kisses, a hug and I was ready to head back home. One of the other guy's wife in the fly away team was also there, and crying....I don't think I'm jaded, or un- empathetic, but come on....the guys will be home on the 28th, they can call us or email. Maybe its the Navy wife in me coming out, the fact that we have to deal with our men being away for months on end with no calls, very few if any emails, and not really knowing where they are or when they will be home. But I have to say my first reaction was...."must be new to the whole military thing", or "come on, you have to be stronger than that" is this wrong of me? Maybe I am jaded, could it be? Part of me was "thats really sad". Dont get me wrong, I'm the first person to admit how much I miss the Mr. when Hes away, but this doesn't really feel like a deployment because I know where He is, when He'll be home and He can call me everyday....Wow, I'm almost spoiled! Any Navy wife will know what I'm talking about....Oh, and by the way isn't shore duty suppose to mean your Husband won't be sent over seas?????
