Daintreedream started a thread earlier today about this very subject and got some great answers.

Many of the women here are married to servicemen and have had to move a fair bit due to postings.

How exciting to be making this move even if you are leaving family & friends behind. You will make new friends and your family & friends will enjoy coming to visit.

To keep in touch use skype. If you have a good internet deal and you have a camera you will be able to talk and see as often as you need. We use it to talk to our DD and grandchildren and DH's brother overseas.
