Did you do anything special for your so before a deployment? If so, what? My df and I will be seperated for a yr or more from April and I want to do something nice for him - maybe make something nice that he can take on the ship with him. Any ideas?

No not really cause mine wasn't on a boat so he couldn't take any "extras" with him
We did do a family pic though and he put it in the top of his helment

You could also make recordings of your voice telling him sweet encourgaing things to play when he is feeling down & REALLY missing you! Just hearing your voice will help him TONS!
