I'm guessing he's going to Iraq?
Deployments suck. They are rough on everyone involved for obvious reasons. I would think it would be even harder as a girlfriend, because wives are kind of kept "in the loop" so to speak, about things that are going on during the deployment.
Be prepared for a lot of roller coaster emotions. I don't know what his situation is like, but hubby was infantry, so when he was in Iraq letters and emails were few and far between. For some reason, it seems like mail going to the troops takes less time than letters going back home; it will be quite awhile before you get your first. Write to him lots anyway. It really does help both of you. Send care packages. It's not easy, but before you know it his deployment will be over and he'll be coming home.
I'll keep you in my thoughts; I well remember the fear I felt when it became evident we were going to war and hubby was already in the area. Hugs for you, and feel free to PM me if you ever want to.
