Congratulations to both of you. Anyone who's ever served in the military and is married knows all too well how difficult and stressful it is on both. It takes a strong and dedicated spouse to allow the servicemember a clear mind in order to perform their responsibilites for their respective country...being apart from each other is only half of it!!! I am extremely proud and happy for the both of you!!!!

Morning everyone! I slept like a log last night after such a busy day, lol! I have a couple of pics I want to share from yesterday cos I am very proud of Craig. I've posted them here rather than in the 'picture of you' thread cos they're not really of me, although I am in one LOL!
Me and Craig yesterday:
Craig getting his medals for his service in Afghanistan pinned on:
And his medals - the one with the black and white ribbon is called the New Zealand Operational Service Medal, the one with the coloured ribbon is the New Zealand General Service Afghanistan Medal. He received the ISAF medal while he was there, but he wasn't wearing it here (wasn't supposed to anyways apparently lol):
Like I said, I'm very proud of him. Just a random note, they don't always wear their berets with this uniform, they often wear what's called a mounted rifle hat, but because they had the battalion photo before the medals were presented they wore berets, cos otherwise you wouldn't be able to see who anyone is in the photo LOL! A very special day for us I believe.
