Does your husband request for long trips away from you?
Honestly, this was only supposed to be for 4 weeks, 2 of which I was at my mother's which is less than a hour away from where he is. The boat is taking a bit longer to commission. Its homeport is going to be our home, and he wouldn't have put in for the assignment if it wasn't. Then they go on small patrols, and he is pretty much home most of the time.
But the assignment is only 3 months anyway, which is why it is called TEMPORARY assignment of duty. After that he is back to teaching for another year. He put in for this to get the 3 months sea time he needs to make chief. He did this rather than have to be away more.
If you want, when he gets back Saturday, you can ask him yourself. I like to watch him laugh.
