Are there any Support Groups on the internet for those who have family over seas?

www.military.com has Forums that encompass all 5 branches including reserves and guard.
Thre previous descriptions of cinchouse, military wives and Soloops are right on the money, although I found Solo Ops to be just as critical and snobby as CinChouse.

There are a large number of support groups for friends and families of service members. Some are better than others. A few I have tried are:
www.militarywives.com - very large but tends to be a bit click
www.cinchouse.com - has been several years since I was there but was run by officer wives mostly and that tended to be who hung out there and they tended to be a little rude to anyone the felt was below them.
www.solo-ops.com - This was the site I used to belong to, but since my husband isn't deployed right now I haven't spent much time there. They are a pay only site now, but it is nice because it is smaller and you can actually connect with members. It isn't a lot either, I think less than $5/month.
There are also several unit and base sites on yahoo and msn message groups. I would suggest an Internet search for specifically what you are looking for. Also, check out several, just because I didn't care for the ones above doesn't mean you won't like them.
