Yeah, from what I hear, the Navy is an even more extreme version since regular duty (even in peacetime) requires families to be split up. My dad went away a few times on TDY, but we are talking a couple of weeks at most, like a business trip. These Navy guys leave for months at a time. I remember the wive's club had this saying about being a wife was the hardest job in the service. I think there was some truth to that.
