Coastguard Wife

Post contributed by Josue Durham

I really, really like being in the Coastguard. Helping other people and serving my country has always been a passion of mine and I can’t believe I get paid to go out in the beautiful bay everyday in a huge boat. My coworkers are great and my hours are too, but there’s one problem: the overnights. Every three weeks I have to be gone for 4 consecutive days at a time which makes my wife and new baby less than happy. I devised an awesome way to keep in touch, though, and set my wife up with a blog of her own.

She loves being online and chatting with other new moms but I really like being to logon while I’m out in the harbor using the mobile internet I got through one of those Wilmington CLEARINTERNET specials and check out pictures of my son. She’s careful to post new ones each afternoon that I’m gone, and sometimes we can even IM when we’re online at the same time. Being able to keep in touch sure helps soften the pain of being apart.
