How to stay connected during deployments as submitted by Kayla Thanks to modern technology, the internet has been a godsend. I was searching for some Army things a few months before he deployed, and came across your web site and the board. I joined, not knowing what to expect or fi I would even fit in. But I did join, and I have fit in nicely! Since I have a great that support base myself, I now know how to support him and am able to ask questions and get great ideas for care packages. At first, when he wasn¡¦t able to get online, I spent many hours writing long letters to him and sending those. Once he was able to get online, we began to chat on MSN Messenger and email just about every week, sometimes every day. He has sent me two web cam videos and hand written letters, and whenever I get those, I shout for joy like a kid in the candy aisle! Every day when I read the paper and find an interesting article, picture, or comic, I clip it out and save it for the next mailing or care package. When I shop, I look for the little things that might be fun (like the cheap-o Wal Mart toys and gag gifts, something to pass the time over there for him) or that mean something to us. Baking is a favorite of mine, and he really enjoys whatever I send over, be it cookies, brownies, banana bread, whatever. It always gets eaten! Just staying positive, and through lots of prayer and encouraging Scriptures I write in random places, he and I stay in touch and stay connected.
