How do AF wife's deal with their husband being gone for months?

I'm new to this, My husband is in the AF he is a SF and he is currently in basic training. I know they deploy a lot i don't know if I can take not seeing him we have a child together. I miss him already. I just want to know if anyone can help me to deal with it. And If I will be able to visit him anywhere he goes? All responses are greatly appreciated. Thanks!How do AF wife's deal with their husband being gone for months?
Staying busy is the key here! Make friends, find a hobby, enjoy the time with your child.





When they are deployed (hubby's last one was 15 months), it can be very challenging to make the most out of the limited conversations you'll have with him. Enjoy the time with him when he's home, cherish every moment of it, and then when he is gone, make plans for his return, and he'll be home before you know it. As for your husband, it will be nice knowing he'll have a loving faithful wife at home waiting for him. Also, don't forget to keep him up to date about your little one. Send lots of pictures when he's not home, maybe even make an album to let him share in the growing-up experience.





Most of the time, you will be able to go to his duty station, maybe even Korea if you're one of the few lucky ones. Anything else overseas shouldn't be an issue. Good luck!How do AF wife's deal with their husband being gone for months?
On deployments no you can't go. You just have to find a hobby to help you make it through the time. Trust me it flies by and it isn't like it used to be where you would go weeks without hearing from him. Now they can call almost everyday if they want. You can also look to your husbands squadron spouse's group. Just hang in there.
You rarely can visit someone during a deployment but since you're married, you can travel with him to his duty station unless it's Korea (No spouses are allowed to move there, it's considered a ';hardship'; tour)





It'll be hard but the most important thing you can do is keep in contact whenever you can and stay strong because you can bet he's just as worried about you as you are of him.





I hope this helps
Be grateful his deployments are shorter than those in the Army.





You need to stay busy it helps the time go by faster. Get a job, go to school, start a new hobby, write in a journal.





You can move with him once he get stationed unless he gets an unaccompanied tour such as Korea and needless to say you can't go to Iraq or Afghanistan.

My mom used to make Japanese dolls with this one group she read about in the base newspaper. She usually found a group wherever she went with similar interests. Another source is church.
