How to survive a deployment

as submitted by Karina

My fiancee is in the Army and this is his first deployment. He left at the end of January 2007, and came back for his mid-tour leave on April 6th for two weeks, then he went back and I wont see him again until next year, around Jan or the first week of Feb that's if they don't extend.
I'm in the military as well. I'm in the Coast Guard, but even though I have a lot to do I still feel down at times, and picking myself up is hard and causes me tons of tears, questions and sleepless nights. What has helped me a lot though is working out. When I'm at the gym my  purposes are:
1. To get rid of all the anger, stress, sadness and all the emotions that come within.
2. To get a nice body that I know my fiancee would love and admire.
 
Hope that helps, it has helped me and trust me, when he came back for his mid-tour leave, he noticed it all right, and told me that I look sexy. I got toned, got my stamina higher, lost a few pounds, and I actually do much more at work.
