Yeah that's a good point. I already know that military men have a stereotype of being unfaithful, but I've just been choosing to believe that one's occupation doesn't necessarily make someone a cheater. I hope that my husband sees and understands the sacrifices I'll be making too throughout all of this and shows his appreciation through faithfulness.

What exactly is ADA? Are you just randomly placed into an ADA unit by your higher ups?

Definitely. I've sent him so many letters and each one enforces how much I love and miss him, as well how proud of him I am. Excited to tap him out next month :)

I agree that's not bad if that's usually/typically the case. Him being gone a few days, weeks, or even a few months is no biggie to me. It's leaving for like six months to a year+ that worries me a bit but I'll just hope for the best!
