I'm not going to risk my husband's units safety by telling something to a non-wife, who might go to a bar and cry and mention where he is and the unit's name. It's like a Hollywood party with a "A" list and a "B" list. You will be on the "B" list for info. Ft. Campbell is known for it's "closed ranks" and security rules. They will confiscate cell phones before announcing a mission, complete the mission, and then give phones back. It can be very frustrating on the wives back home but is necessary. You also need to talk to him about if something happens to him, will you be kicked out of the house b/c his mortgage payments will stop and his estate will be in probate?

I know all about getting info from the other guy I dated - I was lucky enough to befriend some women online and met one in person prior to them coming home and she was able to get me info without me being part of the FRG. I have already told him to make sure I'm on the list so that I won't be excluded from getting info. Thanks for letting me know about Campbell though, I've never been there so I had no idea what it was like. I know what you mean though about keeping the unit safe and not blabbing info. I have a close friend whose husband is Navy and deploys a lot because of the nature of his job and she's very secretive about his missions (with good reason!). Luckily, I work two jobs and plan on keeping myself very busy (and distracted) to make the time go by faster, and to make mortgage payments, LOL.
As far as the house goes, I addressed that this morning in another post. Not sure what would happen to the loan though, but legally, the house would belong to me. Hopefully though, it will be a moot point because he's going to be just fine
