On military life .. not the blog. You do not get rid of me easily 😉

After 22 years, the pilot officially retired from the army! You can check the full summary of the Fini trip and celebrate here.

Almost three weeks have passed, and I have many feelings. I still feel I am on vacation now, and I cannot really believe that it has already ended. It was a dynamic lifestyle, full of highest levels (there is nothing like honeymoon when they return!) And some low low.

It is wild (and I am very grateful to you all) that many of you were almost here our military life! When we first moved to Valdosta and the blog began, we were newly married and I was new in the entire lifestyle.

children !!

Our military life had stumbled with pure joy, such as the return of publication and the pleasant swarm events, but also sadness, fear and anxiety.

The amazing feeling when he embraced me for the first time after every publication.

– When he went for a long time and then felt as a strange person.

The fun events of the late and late nights drink wine and chat with women.

Talk to him on the phone while it is published, but hear the missile attack alerts in the background. (The voice of a woman in a British tone was saying, “A missile attack. A missile attack.”

– carefully publishing publication care packages, very excited to check mail, letters and handwriting cards.

Learn that his plane may rain with a certain flight abroad.

When I first met the pilot, I asked him about the number of times he had to leave and if he had to publish. He told me that he might not go away at all, and it is likely that he would not have to publish. (All my military friends can laugh here here). He was stationed in North Carolina after six months, and was first published within a year. It ended in publishing four times.

Military life is constantly flexible for the unknown and the strict lifestyle in its nature. One of the most difficult lessons for me was that the army was always first, regardless of what was going on.

There are a lot of things that I can only stick to, but there was something that would burn in my mind that was when I had a hand operation (so it was in a shrapnel), the pre -school stage, and a newborn child with very islands, and TDY was more. From a week.

Often times, I felt that the end would never be here, and I have been joined that he would pull me to the finish line, a bag that was lumen. The neighboring bag made!

Sometimes we hear, “You know what you were entering” when a military wife talks about her struggles. For this reason, we often feel shy about talking about difficult parts. You are expected to keep a smile on your face, focus on all the benefits of military life, and communicate with it. Although I am a great believer to be as positive as possible, it is also good to look around and be like, “this is madly difficult.”

I put a smile (mostly Lol), supported the love of my life, hosted and attended the parties, went to important events, caught the castle during publishing operations, long hours, tdys, put my heart and my heart in achieving the maximum benefit from that for children. I was honest when I spent a difficult day here and there, but I didn’t want them to know the size of how I felt. He was a three -year leader and did a great job, but it was difficult for our marriage and our family.

Friday Fakes 2.4

You can slightly love your husband, you can be proud of it, you can love and support our army … and not * love * everything is about being a military wife. You can take advantage of the absolute things, while you don’t necessarily enjoy * each aspect of its aspects. If you feel that you are only struggling to reach it and sometimes you play the part, it is okay to feel it. I just wanted to send my love to my colleagues for the military wives, holding it. If you feel that you will never reach the finish line, you will do so. You are surprisingly strong – wait there.

Many things can be correct at one time: you can look back with sadness, preaching, fatigue, joy, and gratitude, at the same time.

Small note to A-10 AKA Pilot Girlfriend:

Thank you for the ability to help support our country

Thank you for the fun memories

Thank you for this opportunity to make many children’s meals – One of my favorite things about this entire experience

Thank you for the amazing health insurance. Some people have mixed experiences, but I only have great things to say about Tricare

Thank you for the military friends who have become like the family

– Thank you, thank you, thank you for bringing him home safely to us

She did a great job to take care of him and always brought him home. More than 3400 hours in the cockpit for this beauty, and although I will not necessarily miss a lifestyle, I will miss the joy that the pilot got from A-10 aircraft, his friendship with BROS, and the presence there for joy for his achievements. I am so proud of everything he has done over the past 19 years that I knew him (less than 22 years old).
