Ambertje,because of your experience you really understand what I feel.. It is so sad not to have possibility to to talk to each other on birthdays.. I still have hope that till that day situation will change. I hope maybe nearest time they will have possibility for time-off ( I even don't talk about days off). In our army it is like that ( though, I understand it is nod right comparison).
Thank you very much for your support words!! I do strongly beleive that everything will be ok! but for me it is only a question of patience and it is pretty hard.
Teşekkür ederim, Ambertje.

I hope everything will become good for you and that you will talk to him anytime soon.
Of course we can be sad sometime because it is diffucult not talking with the one you love. But I am always trying to say this to myself. For him it is much more difficult than for me. I am here with people who love me, who can help me through difficult times. He is there all by himself, no family, no one who loves him. He can also not speak to you when he wants to. So be strong and wait in patience for the day you will here from him.

Ambertje, you are great! thank you so much for reminding me how much we are in different situations with our beloved soldiers....because really sometimes I don't think about it. well, sometimes I am selfish. I think only how much I missed him. But yes, you are right. Conditions which his stays in is more difficult..really, I have people who support me..but him..he takes everything alone. Yes, I must be strong and patient. From all my heart wish you the same.
Let's not cry, girls)))Just let's beleive and keep our faith.
Ambertje, teşekkürler

It is really hard. All you can do is support eachother and be patient and hope the waiting time will end as quickly as possible.

This is really awkard though. I don't know how I will handle it if I can't call him. It was relatively easy when he was in Samsun because the fact that I would be able to reach him if I needed to calmed me down. Anyway he's not really settled there yet, maybe they have a normal phone that I can call. We are married and used to live together so it's unnatural that we can't talk now. I don't understand how they're allowed to prevent communication with loved ones. The soldiers are also human, not machines for **** sake. Maybe if the military authorities understood that, the suicide rate would go down.

Thank you for your words Deniz girl, you are right about what you say.

I know Tunceli is a small and poor province but come on they don't even have a bank for him to go to get some money, and I can't call the mobile someone smuggled in because there is no Telsim signal in the Tunceli mountains! Maybe I'm whining but this can't be happening in the year of 2007

A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defence than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death.

here I am..under the same situation waiting for X to come back from the military..three more months to go until he gets done with all this ..I pray God for him and all the ones who are now serving the military..
