Field Problem: Preparing for a Parent to Leave
Dear, Field Problems:
My husband is leaving for basic in a few weeks. Between basic and AIT, he will be gone about eight months. We have a 2-year-old and a 15-month-old.

Any advice you could give me would be greatly appreciated!

But, I also know that their tears come from unknown places down deep.

It was April of 2010. We were going to a battalion ball, and I had on a gorgeous red dress. I had found it on clearance. It was strapless and totally different from my normal formal attire, but I decided to go for it! We had a fabulous time at the ball.
We came home that night and got ready for bed. As I was getting dressed for bed, I noticed some pain on the right side of my chest.
Then, I found the lump.
