Truth
Behind The Username
"You're just like an itch that I'd love to scratch… with a fucking chainsaw."
Not got the pants...........but I do need the lavvy more & more often these days.
Got the nasal trimmers........why oh why nose hair decides to grow at an alarming rate when you reach a certain age?? Seen plenty of women that could do with one as well.
Viagra.......no chance. The wife always says "No". or words to that effect.
Not got the special car........I'm the best driver in the country.
I quite like Werthers
I must be getting old...............I've taken to shouting at the animals who are about to be eaten on the wildlife progs........"Run Ya silly B'stard"
wow, you sound like a right catch, would love to know more..... perhaps you could share with us all some photos of yourself......
Well, I like rubber pants on ladies...although leather is bettwer...... I pluck my nasal hairs, cos I is hard.....hard for you ladiesWhats Viagra? The speshul car I imagine......well, you don't want to know! A werthers original put in a ladies moist place makes lapping much more pleasurable.
Well.............I think I am.
I haven't read any "pre deployment" threads as I was just trying to get through the training part and the Falklands part of his life, but now mine is going away in 2 months..obviously not a happy chappy at the prospect (despite its enevitable occurence).
It's good to read how others deal with things ...let's hope the advice works
Hello and welcome. I'm kind of in the same situation with G - his first deployment date is getting closer and I am getting more and more stressed about it. HE is fine about it, excited even, but even mention it to me and I am in floods of tears. I guess we all just have to man up an get used to it? Put up and shut up.
Waiting for Feather Cottage!
I have to say, with one notable exception, that the countdown is absolutley the worst thing.
We found out that Mr Joey was off to play sandcastles in October 2011 all the way back in Feb 2010. 18 months of knowing that he would soon be off and I would be here alone. 18 months of reaching special dates like birthdays and even our wedding and thinking 'yes but in x months you'll be 'out there'
I will be the first to admit that, even though the day we said goodbye was in someways the toughest ever and I felt physically sick, one of my overriding thoughts was 'thank God that's over and done with and now we start counting down the days until you come back, not counting down the days until you go'. It's the oddest feeling, but I remember feeling incredibly upset and incredibly strong at the same time.
He's due back for R and R soon and I know, once I've put him down, that I'll start thinking about the next goodbye, when he goes back there. That's just me.
The one exception to the countdown being the worst thing? The day after he deployed, my Mum was admitted to a psychiatric ward and stayed there for 6 weeks. They were pretty tough, especially as I took the choice not to tell him immediately as I wanted him to settle in and stay focused rather than worry about me. I didn't like lying to him.
Still, ever other tour he's been on, the 'countdown being the worst thing' piece of advice is definitely true!
Just don't feel bad if you have a bad day, but make sure you 'man up' and stay busy.

My OT trained in Germany too and I am on the same countdown as you from the sandpit...and R&R this month wahoo!
