After banning YouTube and other social Web sites on all overseas computers in May, citing bandwidth and security issues, the U.S. military on Tuesday launched TROOP TUBE, an alternative video-sharing Web site for troops, their families, and supporters. Have any of you tried it??? Let us know! We'd love to post your trooptube videos here on TMWC!
In honor of Veteran's Day - we thank the men and women of the Armed Forces for their service and sacrifice. Please watch the Veteran's Day Special from our friends at IN THEIR BOOTS.

When my husband was home on R&R we just acted like it was our normal day to day life and it felt like he was just home on vacation. Conversation came very easily to us and our child.
R&R was no different for us than any other time. We had tons of fun and have never ever stuggled with conversation. You don't have to say anything special.
Do you not know your DH or What?? Give me a break. Yeah, sit there in silence. Obviously anything that comes from your mind like this Post. Fucking Gay. He is so lucky to have an Idiot like you.
Hey there back off of her? If she has never been through it she dosen't know what to expect from him. He might come home and not want to talk and keep to him self. It depends on where they have been and what they have been through. Your not and idiot, that was a serious quesiton! I would just be responsive to how he acts. If he is tense and doesn't feel like talking much dont pressure him. Give him a little space and he will come around. Just let him know how much you love him and how much you missed him!!!
For us, R&R was like he never left. We did what we did before he left. It wasn't hard at all to find things to talk about. Have fun!
My husband was gone for 5 months before he came home for r&r. I had some of the same questions as you. It felt like he had been gone for years but as soon as me and my kids met him coming off the plane it was like he was never gone. We fell right back into our same routines and found we had even more to talk about which left no emptiness for conversation. Just enjoy the time and don't dwell on what to talk about. CARRIE
410 why dont you go jump off a bridge you rude ass whore. You need to go back to third grade and learn proper grammar. Ignorant bitch. Good thing you're a reserve wife, your rude ass would never make it as a true Army Wife.
OP, don't sweat R&R...it will be amazing. Everything will just flow as it did before he left.
maybe it'll be a little weird at first. like the first 2 seconds but i promise everything will fall into place. once you see his face and you feel him touch/hold you, you'll forget that he was ever gone.....it'll be like he never left. enjoy it. cherish it.
Uh, no, unless that's how you spent your time before he left! You probably will have even more to talk about, since you haven't seen each other for a while!
Oh this is cute....honey, honey...
I dont think talking is going to be what he's worried about.
Take it from me, enjoy the time.
It's like the 4th of July, Christmas and...Happy happy New Year!!
When my husband came home it was as if he never left. We stayed home, went out, had a lot of sex, he helped me with our son and chores...we talked about everything. I charished the 18 days but it was if he had never left.
no thats not how it goes. 99.9% of the time you will fall right back into habit. just dont think about him having to leave again think of the moment right in front of you. save thinking about him leaving until it actually happens as hard as that may sound
i just have to say 4:10 you sound like a total bitch and i would be surprised if you had any friends.
