Forgot to mention that the military has several support institutions for significant others - The navy version are called "Ombudsmans" and are basically an information and support link between the sailors and those left at the homefront. The Air Force has their version, I'm sure. You'll also have all the other girlfriends, fiancees, wives, boyfriends, and husbands of military people in your community, who will be there to share both the pain and pride that you'll feel. You will not be alone, and I wanted to emphasize that.
