To keep things from being a "chore" don't look at it as "Honey, we have to try to make a baby now!". Look at it from the perspective of "Let's make love and if it happens, it happens." I know it's hard, but stressing about having to have sex at certain times of the month is eventually going to put stress on sex itself. It has the potential to at least.
I am 98% infertile due to abuse and a condition that I suffer with. For me, it'll take a miracle, but I did have my doctor tell me that, eventually, I could try the artificial insemination thing that they're able to do with frozen sperm. I don't know how that works or what not, but this goes into my next suggestion.
Since your husband is in the military and goes away for periods, talk to your doctor about possibly taking some of his sperm and trying to the fertilization that way while he's away. That way, if it works, he doesn't have to necessarily be there while you're ovulating for it to happen. Does that make sense?
I know it's hard and I'm there with you 100% of the way. If you have any questions or want to talk more, feel free to message me or respond here. Good luck to you and your husband!

Thant's not a bad suggestion Vieux Carre! That way if decreased motility is his issue they can wash the sperm and choose the hardiest to use. It's a bit expensive for a military family though...still it can't hurt to ask!
