Life is a struggle, a rollercoaster of emotions during deployment. You have good days, but along with that you also have your bad days.
Having a way to express your feelings is a beneficial way to balance emotions, and to write down exactly what you're going through while keeping everything private. Starting a deployment diary is extremely easy, and very effective.
Creating a deployment diary is not very costly, and doesn't take much energy, or time. This makes everything very perfect, for whatever your daily duties are, a spouse, girlfriend/boyfriend, fiance/fiancee.
He just got into Germany today, he then goes to Afghanistan in a month.. I'm assuming there getting everyone prepared for it. Before he left I saw him a lot, now it is already feeling like it's been too long. For the most part, everything has gone pretty okay. We are so blessed to live in an age of technology where texting, phone calls, and FaceTime can keep us connected despite the distance. We don’t have to rely on snail mail to give updates — although we do still send the occasional hand-written love letter. Despite the 4,212 miles and 7 hour time difference, we still get to talk every day and for that I am so thankful.
I would also go through any deployment if it meant I get to be in a relationship with Calvin. His love is worth any obstacle…
I do hope however that the next BIG text message he has to send me — is that he is coming home <3
UPDATE:He came home a month later for reasons he didn't explain. I am happy though!

WHAT IS A DEPLOYMENT DIARY?
It’s simply a notebook you create for yourself to record feelings and events during your spouse’s deployment. The best part is you can use it however you want – maybe you want to record all the memorable little things from your day to share with your spouse, or maybe you want to use it as a personal vent space where you can share your feelings. It’s totally up to you.WHAT IS HAPPENING DURING HIS DEPLOYMENT?
My boyfriend Calvin, was deployed about a week ago to Germany then Afghanistan in about a month. I'm hoping he is back in at least 2-3 months. We started dating in July of 2017, he went into the Marines at 17.This is his third deployment to Afghanistan, but this will be my second deployment with him, as I am still pretty new to the Marine Corps life. During his first deployment, Calvin and I were friends, we became pen-pals. Although, he did tell me about his girlfriend and his son back home. While my view maybe different from others I'm still here with him now.He just got into Germany today, he then goes to Afghanistan in a month.. I'm assuming there getting everyone prepared for it.
