There must be an army support worker she can talk to and explain what is going on and how she feels. Why don't you phone the Citazens Advice Bureau or Womans Aid for her and tell them what you've told us and they might be able to point you in the right direction. Good Luck with this, you are a good friend helping her out. : )

hi tell your friend to visit her husbands unit welfare team and they will help her and advise her. They will have details of other organisations that may be able to help including SAAFA and the Army welfare service. She is not alone this is what the welfare team are there for and they are very approachable and understanding. I was based in germany myself. Where is you friend living ? i may know the number for her to call if i can determine what unit her husband is currently serving at.
