Came across this website that I thought the wives might find helpful (And NO this is not a joke, it is real mushy women stuff):

"Sarah Smiley's Military Spouse Support pages are a place for members and spouses of the armed services. Here you'll find resources dealing with

• deployments,
• military life, living overseas,
• family finances
• and more.

The Spouse-to-Spouse page is a great place to find reader-submitted ideas for surviving deployments and managing service life as a military spouse. Visit Ways to Help, where new and meaningful ways to support our troops are updated frequently. And don't forget to jump on the Military Spouse Message Boards, where women are talking about the very things you'd like to know:

• how to manage another military move,
• staying in touch with your military spouse,
• talking to children about deployments,
• enjoying military life,
• military spouse employment,
• meeting other military spouses,
• and more! "
