For a bit of background, my husband and I have been together almost 7 years now. I want to strive to do all that I can such as volunteering for any and every opportunity that comes my way to make BTZ and pursue mortuary affairs or search and recovery. My problem with this is that my husband is not doing well with the separation that's happening at the moment. Two months of basic training and almost two months of technical school have left him feeling very isolated and overwhelmed, and I hate to see him like this but I cannot do much from where I am. I don't want to sacrifice my career or my relationship, so are there any programs for active duty spouses that could help him with this rough transition into the military? He's a very shy and introverted person, but even a once a week get together with similar people would at least get him out of the house and out of his head.

Honest, in all truth if there are chaplains where you are, or where he is, I'd try to get their help, I'd expect they deal with such staff a good deal, at least from what I know of what clergy do, we go to a Pentecostal my wife likes, and most clergy have a good deal of social work type exposure...honest, if you and he haven't tried that route, I would, suggest trying, honest ,you've got nothing to lose, and everythingnto possibly gain, maybe something could be arranged, perhaps, leave time, nearby assignments, intersvc transfers, whatever, my point is, till you ask, you don't know, and clergy deal with a lot of !arital stuff, it's part and parcel of their jobs, I've gathered, honest, just a thought, OK?
