So He finally did it after 5 months and a 3 month break medical rehabilitation break, B has finally finished IBOLC. I have never been more proud of my husband for all his hard work! However, him working so hard often left me home alone many weeks while as far as I could tell all he did was run through the woods. It was a challenge to say the least, be in a strange new home with the only person I knew here gone just about every week. Yet here I was... what was I going to do with all my time, I wasn't working and couldn't get a job in the field I had spent 2 years studying in.
But I quickly made friends that made all the difference for me over the last 2 months! Without them I would have been lonely and miserable. Having a group of people to be a family away from family makes every place in life better. So here is to my husband, an Infantry Officer!! And to here are to Army Wife Sisters, the women who kept me sane!

I'm not sure how I stumbled across this, but my husband is starting ibolc come October. We are from Maryland and will be moving down to Georgia next week. It's encouraging to hear there is someone who went through something I will go through. If you can share any words of wisdom or how you got plugged into your communities, please share with me. Thank you (;

Hi Jackie, I am so glad you found this!! I didn't have any idea of what it would be like as my husband went through! I'd love to meet you when you move to Georgia!!! The more friends the better, that is definitely something I learned throughout this journey so far!!
