I certainly have a love\/hate relationship with the Internet when my husband is gone, especially with this deployment. As if I don\u2019t spend enough time on the computer at work, I come home and after dinner I scour the Internet for information on my husband\u2019s battalion and unit.<\/p>\n

I check message boards, the news, the battalion’s web site and his unit\u2019s Facebook page that one of the wives started. I have even gone as far as to set up Google news alerts for his battalion so I can get up to the minute information.
