Married couples in the Army in Iraq

From USA Today, some good news, such as it is: Married couples in the US Army are now allowed to live together while deployed together. That's good. But it adds some twists to married life:

"Because we're so close out here, we know to the hour when our loved one's supposed to be home from a mission," Jessica said. "So if they're late, our brains starts going to that place where you start to wonder what went wrong. That happens more often than I'd like to admit."
I guess that does change the meaning of "So, honey, how was your day?" Still, it's nice to be able to give props to the Army.
