I've been away from my family for close to 3 and a half months. I probably won't see them for at least 9 more since I have 3 more months of training then a deployment. It's taken a toll on me. I know this probably place for advice, but anyone have any tips?

skype is your friend, if they dont know how to use it then have a friend teach em. make sure both ends have a webcam so you can see each other's face. do it as often as you can
