Military wives

Soo my husband is in the Army and is talking about deployment at the end of this year.. he went to training for a month in May with no contact and it was pretty rough.. any other military wives here that can give me some advice? We are newly married and he will miss out 1 year anniversary while gone, Christmas, and 21st my birthday.. this is our first deployment, 9 months. Plus I would love some new friends to talk to especially some who have been through this before ❤
