Hii. Me and my sailor are both new to this whole deployment thing. Myself and a couple of milso friends wanted to surprise our sailors by being there when they arrive back. I live out of state from his home base and so does another friend of mine. I’m prepared to be told very last minute but I was wondering how others experiences went? In others experience how much time did you have to prepare to see your significant other? Thank you in advance for any responses
