When you are married to a military man, there are two things that are an absolute certainty. The first is Temporary DutY (or TDYs) and the second is deployments. Military families deal with constant family separation, whether it’s geo-baching (when the service member is stationed in one location and the spouse stays in another), constant deployments, and TDYs. My husband in particular has not been deployed as much as many of his contemporaries, but when he doesn’t deploy, he makes up for it with constant TDYs. When I first left the military in 2004, he was rarely gone, but as soon as he pinned on Major, it became apparent that my home was wherever the base was, and his home was the Holiday Inn Express at any number of other bases.
