Special Duty Tour Questions.
Hey Ladies,
Since you are most of the time better than trying to get anyone on the phone to answer my questions, here I am!
1. When your hubby went on SDT, was TMO willing to move you back to your house of record or should I plan on doing it myself?
2. What did you do to keep your relationship alive?
3. Depending on where he goes, can you visit him?
We have no kids so we figured it would be a good idea for his career, thanks ladies for your advice.
Re: Special Duty Tour Questions.
I'm not completely sure, but I don't think they will pay for you to move back home. I may be wrong, though.
Where he is going and what he is doing would determine if you can go visit.
As far as staying connected, it isn't that hard. Phone calls, Skype, email, FB, online chat and hand written letters are all ways we stay connected when H is gone.
Probably not. He is most likely coming back to the base you are at right now, so there is no need for the AF to move anyone anywhere.
And like PP said, it is easy to stay connected. H and I use FaceTime and email. I also like to send small packages of things he would like.
It depends on the type of tour. When H did a one year unaccompanied in Korea, I basically had the option of moving anywhere I wanted. I was already done an ERD from Japan, though, so they just shipped some of the big stuff to me that I hadn't taken when I first moved. This was considered a PCS, though, not a 365 deployment.
As far as visiting, as long as it's not a restricted location, sure you can go. You just have to pay for it. There may be rules about how long you can stay with him if he's in the dorms.
