Of course even through we live less then 10 miles from the shipyard where his ship is at right now with traffic and getting onto the ship he has to leave an hour before he has to be there. So that means it takes him an hour to get home too. And now it's becoming more rare for him to come home on time. He's getting home an hour or more late. It's starting to be 12-14 hours days. We're hoping things change soon. It's been rough getting Emily on a normal sleep pattern when Doug's is always changing. And of course Connie made me laugh when she said " At least he gets overtime" No such thing as overtime in the military. And since the ship is getting ready for crew to move on board in Oct. we lose $300.00 a month. I know I sound whiney and other people have bigger problems but I want my husband home every night and for him to see Emily for more then an hour some days. So there's my rant. Thank goodness we get out of the navy in May!

You are NOT whining. That's tough having your husband gone all the time and when he rarely is home, I'm sure he's exhausted. You go ahead and vent your frustrations. You have every right to and your friends are here to support you :-)
