How do I deal with husband being gone to army bct ?

There are many support groups online. One is Married to the Army, another is Army Wife Chat. Search for support groups and I am sure you will find support and answers for your military questions.How do I deal with husband being gone to army bct ?
Try and stay busy.


Write him letters.


Volunteer your time.





Don't feel bad basic isn't that long. If they still have a family day maybe you can go and see him. Usually they are allowed phone calls on Sundays so maybe you will be able to hear his voice.How do I deal with husband being gone to army bct ?
Deal with it... He's got it a lot worse than You.
It's hard being apart. I know, my husband is serving his fourth tour in Iraq (not counting the first gulf war). You might not want to hear this, but this is good training for you. All those times my husband went to the field or trained at a different post for weeks or a month or more helped me deal with him being gone now. It was practice you could say. The army life can be hard sometimes. But I can tell you this your marriage will become stronger than ever. Keep yourself busy. Very busy. :) Oh, and also when you get to your first duty station and you are surrounded by other military spouses you will find lots of support. They will become like a second family. :) Good luck!
Enjoy your time apart. Use it to reflect on yourself and your life and work on any ';self-projects'; you might have. Spend time with friends and family and do the things you like to do that you normally don't do because you are so busy being involved with and caring for your husband.
Just remind yourself everyday why he is there. To serve your country, be a better person, financial stabilty, insurance, career goals...ect. Remind yourself that he is having a hard time himself being without you, probably harder, and that he needs your complete support to get throught it.
