Speak out. Do you like your "job"? How do you deal with deployments? Do you think it is good to have kids and that life?

no, but i am a marine wife. deployments are hard, my hubby just returned from iraq in sept. we have a son and another one on the way. i dont think its good for kids to have a dad who is in and out of there life ( with deployments) but as they get older they come to understand it all. it just takes time and patience =)

I have been an army spouse for almost 3 years. It's a major challenge, but nothing you can't handle. It has it's ups and downs. Army spouses are completely in a different category as their military husband. It's very hard to deal with deployments, especially when he has to be gone for 15 months at a time. It's hard finding a job and keeping one due to the fact that he is in the military and we're moving here and there every couple of years, and we have 3 children. It's a hassle, but you have to be strong to deal with it...ya know, if you really love him. Being a military (Army) spouse is not easy. I'll be going to Germany soon to meet him. He'll be all I have there. WEll, him and my children. When they are deployed, SOMETIMES, the military will check on you..MOST of the time, they don't. Are you a military spouse or going to be on soon? It's exciting, it's always something new and different going on around your house...lol.........................

I am a spouse and very happy with what I do. Yes at times it is hard and scary but I knew what I was getting myself into when I married. I will be dealing with my first deployment this year. My plan is to just take things one day at a time and hope for the best. It is hard to say if it is good to have kids. I can not speak for everyone. I love my kids and my kids are at an age where they know there daddy has to leave for months at a time. We deal with things one day at a time. There is no other way to do it. I love my husband and support what ever it is he chooses to do.
