Ok so I forgot to put this one in my day 365+. 10 mins from leaving the regiment where we dropped BIll off, a call comes to my cell phone. Who is it?? I do not recognize the number, which means I will answer it. I hate not knowing who calls. It happens to be USAA inquiring about our life insurance plan my husband has recently purchased. HELLO!!! not a call you want 10 mins into a deployment. Apparently military medicine has snafu-ed our insurance. Of course, Bill is no longer available to reach so they call me. What, they could not have called yesterday... they had his deployment date listed and then proceeded to say that they thought it was tomorrow....nope...it was actually listed as the 10th..so you Mr. Insurance are just bad at your job and screwed up. Now back to the military med piece.. they have left out some of his medical records that they need to finalize this insurance. USAA has asked for these documents 4x now with no luck. Great so now I have to jump around, do they special military spouse dance and wala get it sent....whatever..I am not holding my breath that this will be done any time soon.
Honey--- when ya read this this is reason number one you must return home safe.. apparently our life insurance on you is not quite valid yet....
BTW.. to all my non military readers, we spouses talk about life insurance like we talk about dinner. It is one of those things you have. You update and you add to it like you might add more salt to a dish you prepare. Do not fret, we have coverage, we were just adding more. A girl has needs ya know and well if the worst thing ever happened...... I wanted to be secure.
Another thing you must all get..is that I may joke about things and come across as insensitive.. this would be my bubble keeping me intact. I make jokes cuz it helps my bubble not pop!
Bill, my absolutely amazing and handsome husband has left for a one year plus tour to Afghanistan with RCT8. He is a Marine, a dad and a husband. This blog is for me, his wife to share the trials of being a military spouse.
Sending you a HUGE hug... but not one that will burst your bubble!!! :) Love ya and so glad that I'll be able to hear your thoughts so far away!! I miss those....even the harsh ones... they are most often true!
