My husband is currently stationed at Camp Lejune. His unit will be deploying in less than 6 months, I currently live in Ohio, with our two month old daughter. Over the last couple of weeks we have come to the decision that my daughter and I will move to be with him after the first of the year. I am excited, but worried that planning the move and the cost of moving might add stress to his job. Being as I don't know what the future holds for him with his deployment and all I think it would be good for us to spend time together as a family before he has to go to on deployment. Can anyone offer advice as to if this is a good idea to being moving so close to his deployment? If so any ideas in making our move less stressful for my husband?

He would prefer that I move home once he is on deployment. I understand why and I'm fine with that. I'm sure I'll miss my family but I know that this move will only be for a matter of months and then I will be back home where my family can be there for me during deployment. I just want to have some time to be a family as we really haven't had much time to live together.

I live in Jacksonville, NC and I think it would be a good idea for you to move with him. He needs to see you two and spend time with you before deployment. It's not that bad, it rarely snows, and if it flurries, the whole town shuts down! Pretty amusing to someone like me who used to go to school with 6 inches of snow on the ground. If you have anymore questions, feel free to email me.
I usually move home during deployments, but my husband and I agree that it's best for us. Ohio is pretty far from Lejeune. My family is only 6 hours away, whereas yours would be alot farther than that. Discuss this with your husband and see what he thinks.

I would agree with the first answer. Having spent 20 years in the Navy we moved a lot, and raised 4 children in that time. It's a big deal to uproot and leave everything you've known all your life behind. Having your husband there so you can adjust together is the best idea for both of you.

Go with a good heart, enjoy every hour and minute of both your child and your husband.....not moving could signal less love....if you only had one more day to spend on earth, wouldn't it be with him? Once deployed you might want to get him the recording I received. It's from a company called Independent Achievement Productions and it's for soldiers overseas, really powerful stuff.

Since he's deploying so soon, I would personally wait until he gets back. That way, the deployment won't be that much of a lifestyle change.

Bad Idea J-ville is a $ hit hole. And to be honnest if your good looking and go out with out your hubby all the single guys will hit on untill you smack the crap out of them, so if he is being deployed just stay home.

I just moved from Jacksonville, Nc. its not the greatest place in the world, but its worth it to be with you husband. The beaches are great, if you will be there that long to go.
