Today, I’m going to share one of my silly survival tactics for deployments.  The Tshirt trick. This first thing you do is find your husband’s favorite tshirt. This ensures it will be really soft and cuddly from the amount of wear.  When you’re about 3-4 days from the deployment, have him wear it after a fresh shower, with cologne/body spray whatever. He’ll need to wear it for about 3 days. Don’t ewwww at me, yes it will be a little (very little) ripe but it needs to be.

Then, you find something cuddly. I used one of his pillows the first time, this time I chose a floppy teddy bear. You spray the item with his body spray, or cologne, whatever he uses regularly. And then you put the tshirt over it. If you’re like me, the body spray doesn’t do anything for you straight out of the bottle. It only works for me, when combined with HIS scent.  Hence the semi-ripe, but not horribly smelly tshirt. Place the shirt on your cuddly object of choice and Poof! you can cuddle with it at night, and have the comforting smell of your man with you all night. Without the snoring, and morning breath!
