Children of Military Families?
Answer:
I was in the Army and had my son. It was the best experience ever. I loved it and learned so much, I think about it all the time and wish I had never got out. I made so many great friends with other enlisted folks that had kids too. Plus daycare, health ins, and dental was all free. You cant beat that. Don't let anyone try to stop you from joining, I promise you will never regret it. You'll get to experience so many things that civilians never get to do and gain so much respect for life in general. If you do decide to do it, try and get stationed in Fort Carson, Colorado. It is soooo beautiful!
as much as you country could use you...i think your children need you more!
i am not a military child but i am a military mother. It is really hard, to have kids and have someone in the military. my husband is gone about 4-6 months out of the year. It is hard on us we miss each other all the time but it does make the time you spend together special. First you need to think of the reason you want to join. if it is for school reasons they do offer good programs to get your degree, but dont complain about getting putinto a war when all you wanted to do was get money for school. i am not saying it will be harder for your husband than you but i only know how i feel. Being left alone is not fun and having to raise kids by yourself isnt fun either. make sure you husband is ok with it because a lot of the house work wil be up to him when you are gone. when i meet my husbadn he was already in the air force so i had to chose military life to. dont think of it as just a job, because it is not just a job it becomes part of your life. i would suggest talking to some peolpe in your community about joining before you talk to a recuiter. the up side is are you get great benifits, and there is always something to activies around the base. Dont take my advice the wrong way, i love me husband and what he does, i wouldnt have it any other way. i would join myself but i cant becasue he is already in and we already have kids. GO for it if you really want it , but take a step back and look at it in depth.
screw the country
the rate that bush is doing with the war
ur children will be orphans in no time
You said at that last sentence if you were to join your husband and mother would care for your children. So based on that, you make the decision.
