I saw one person quit while over there, and wanted to stay quit and surprise his/her family when he/she came back and was pretty far into the quit, but I haven't seen that person in a while... but that doesn't necessarily mean he/she went back to smoking. But I remember that person saying that it was tough, but was managing. Sorry. That's the best I can do.
Since you know that this is going to be a tough trigger for you, you can prepare for it now. I'm sorry... I've never been in the military and can't give advice to that affect, but I think it's probably just like dealing with any other really tough trigger... you prepare for it, pump yourself up, tell yourself that you won't smoke no matter what, and then do everything you can to keep your quit.
I'm sure that would be a very tough situation to deal with and I wish I had some personal experience to help you out a bit, but I don't. Perhaps someone else who's been through that can come and offer advice.
I also want to say thank you for protecting our country (I assume you're from the U.S. If not, thank you for protecting someone else's country :) ). You are doing a fabulous job and I respect all service men and women who protect their countries. That's awesome!
Crave the Quit!
