EDIT: OK, took the time to read through them now. I'm not exactly sure how much I will identify with these. Partly because I'm not on a base, partly because I'm not (yet) a spouse, partly because they seem to be geared towards homemakers, partly because I have no kids, and partly because I'm poly and will not be completely partnerless with my primary partner gone for a deployment.
But yeah, I do see some things that I recognize: the anxiety, the sudden realization that "all my time is my own to do with as I choose now", the getting used to having your partner there all the time...yeah, I do get those.
