::Our Navy Life is Almost Over:: PART 1

--> Well its almost time -two months and this navy life will officially end. wow. really? its been five years being a navy girlfriend-fiancee-wife. For greg its been a little over eight. Though we’ve never had to deal with a long deployment (the longest was two months and i thought that was bad at the time), we have had our share of annoyances, frustrations, days apart. Poor greg being so damn overworked and them not giving a rats tushie just as long as the job gets done. Especially on the 'Big E'. This ship is literally falling apart. Things breaking every other day. It really should just be decommissioned. Well normally i dont like to post alot of negative stuff but these are just some things that have been on my mind.

Dont get me wrong ive been so grateful that he never had to leave on a long deployment. And im extra thankful for the days/times i do get to see him!! But seriously this latest schedule has been ridiculously the hardest. when he comes home im happy because i get to see his face,hug and kiss him but then he goes right to sleep after we eat. so hes here but not really. then it starts all over. Ive been kinda "used to" it but i will never understand how they think these guys/ladies can function like this. and side note: i usually dont get phone calls. i do get emails when their system decides it wants to work. I dont want pity, just simply telling my side of the navy life. Definitely not easy. But it has made me realize how strong i can be and just appreciate what you have!!
