I'm going to be very lonely. Both my sons will be deployed at the same time and my daughter is in Germany. I knew this situation was going to happen. Then again I fooled myself that it would not. I lose....HA-HA!

I mailed 7 care packages to my husband on deployment. I did have to fill out a custom form every package. Shortest time was a few weeks to get to him and longest was a month and a half. I always timed package to be sent out 3-4 weeks before a port call. That way it could be waiting there for him when they pulled in.
My husband watches them on his laptop in his rack. They play movies in the crews mess for anyone and everyone to watch if they have time.

ProudMN1- "I Hear You Loud and Clear!!! Although my Navy son will have land duty for the next 3 years "Hallelujah", for the last 3 years I have dealt with the same. Chris being deployed out to sea "twice" & our youngest as an AF Special OPS(Paratrooper/Combat Air Traffic Controller) on his 2cnd deployment. I've had them both deployed at the same time. Balancing the scales of Sea vs Air at the same time weighs heavily on a mothers heart. I don't have an AF website to go to, I have stuck with the N4M's site even with our one in the AF. When your Army one gets deployed, just look for a site with that location and follow it. The deployed to Afgh N4M's have been my life savers!!

I know this is navyformoms site, but I have a son in the Navy, my youngest son in the Army along with my daughter in the Army. I do not belong to any Army sites so I figured I would cry my woes here...ha-ha. I sit up late at night wondering what is worse on a momma's heart sometimes. My Sailor on land who is sleep deprived and I don't speak to as often as I would like since he is a NUB. Or knowing my son who is in Airborne is participating in a night jump near the Arctic Ocean and I don't hear from him for 3 days. He has not deployed yet so I'm spoiled in that I can talk to him often. When they leave on these training missions.....well I hold my breath! Guess nothing is easy for a Military mom.
