oh my gosh, I think I just figured out how to send a message!!!! (I have been only replying to ones sent until the message is way long and unrelated to the original title)

I am kind of afraid to post my biggest concern, because it might sound like I'm not committed...
I don't want to leave my kids for a long period of time. I understand the initial six weeks, but I am trying to figure out, do nurses often deploy? I would love to serve a military hospital while still being able to raise my kids. I know this might make me sound like a jerk, I would probably appreciate the opportunity to deploy when they are older/possibly out of the house, but my youngest is two months old right now.
I plan on waiting until she is a little older, I have 5 years until I'm too old.

How often are you deployed at the same time as your husband? I mean, I know it depends on a lot of things and there is no cut and dry answer for what I'm asking, but is it going to make us never see each other again?

Also, is there an option to do this as a reservist? That would be probably the best option until my kids are older, so I could still get in on time, but not leave them too long until they are older to understand it

Hi there! Quick question! You commented on my thread a while back and got me thinking. I will finish school and do the long distance from Vermont-Hawaii. Although do you think that could actually work? People here say it won't because of the time difference and my boyfriend finding some other Hawaiian girl to be with, which I know he wouldn't do that but people talking scares me. I guess I just didn't know if that happens a lot out there? That might be a dumb question but my mind wonders and overthinks everything. Also, do you know anything about how long it takes to actually go through PCS? Apparently January is a possibility, but they're know saying October, can they really do that or won't they give you a heads up at the least? I guess I'm just worried and I have no one really to talk to here at home who truly understands the situation. Hope you don't mind the vent! Thanks!

Yes I just need anything bigger than what I have now. I have to plan a trip and scope them all out!

Which type of lunch bag did you get? I have a bag now from Target but it doesn't hold much.

Ummm not judging what did you get?? I found a store in PA about 1.5 hours away... I want a new lunch sack and I love the Northern Lights and Nomadic Floral. The Pop Art is cute too! But you said you like neutrals right? Did you get a lunch bag-geez they have a lot of choices

Ohhhh and I see you're in Hawaii... boo I can't drive there

There are outlet stores?? I had no idea!!

I didn't want to hijack that thread-I love the Grand Traveler! Although I didn't realize there was a space for the handle of a suitcase and I thought it was a pocket and put my camera in there... yeah that was bad. Don't do it!!

Aw I'm sorry it turned out that way. Just letting you lnow my name is Erin so if youget a request lol.

I was being serious not snarky btw! I've agreed with a lot you've posted so I thought I woudl say
