    My husband is in the Army National Guard. The Guard is a tricky thing - when they're home, life is "normal" and good. When they're gone, there is just about ZERO support for families because we're no where near a military installation. Thankfully, my DH is home right now and has a gig that keeps him stabilized, at least for the time being. Funny, with the Guard, you'd think they'd be home more than regular Army, but lately that hasn't been the case. DH was on active duty 4 out of 5 years between 2006 and 2011 with two year long deployments in that time.

    I have been a military spouse for 18 out of the 26 years we have been married. Army wife, proud of it. God knows it hasnt been the easiest but it's an interesting way of life. My trouble? I eat when I am happy so I lose weight when he is deployed and then eat my self to 20 lbs of overweight when he is home. :embarassed: New to MFP but so far it's doing the trick.

    I'm a happy eater too!

    I was Navy for 10 years and spent a good chunk of that time underwater. I'll gladly be a supporter/cheerleader.

    We share a love of food. And as the saying goes "food is love" and I love to cook. I subscribe to Bon Appetite, talk about food porn.

    I'm an Army brat. My dad retired from the Army and I vowed never to date anyone in the military. As luck would have it, I fell in love with my high school sweetheart and he joined... Agh... never say never... ;)

    Me too! Kinda. I'm a navy brat and fell in love with an army man after telling myself I'd never date military. Now I'm one month into a deployment. Not married yet, but I'm still a military significant other. :)
