| Milites Gregarius | Post; Thanks again!For all encouraging posts! He has had his days here lately when he worries he wont be able to do the physical. I just keep trying to tell him he CAN do it! Any info on different bases and wonderful places you have been/lived? Second road block he is not really sure of the job he wants?! We are hoping to get some info soon about his scores and what jobs he qualifies for. The way I look at it....no matter what he does, there is not one person or job more important than the other. It is a family/team effort and support you all need each other to make our US Military the best. Okay I am feeling deep today  ~ Nikki |

| Milites Gregarius |  hey Nikki, sounds like i am in a similar situation to your husband. I am 32 & decided last year i wanted to join which as a kid was all i wanted to do, however, life took me through different paths. After occasionally bringing up the forces in conversations over the years with my wife (often asked to change the subject), i finally decided that the ADF (Australian Defence Forces, Army) was where i wanted to be. However, initially, there was a lot of misunderstanding & not knowing the future nor what to expect from my wife once (if) i get in. To a degree, that is stilll there. The point i am trying to make is that, as a husband & father, support from family is priceless, regardless of what may lie in the future. My wife understands that this is all i really want to do with my career, so therefore she has tried to understand and find out what to expect etc. She also understands that as a male, we "generally" work at least 2/3rds of our lives, and acknowledges that i do not want to waste any more of my life in roles/jobs which i do not enjoy, & that the ADF is where my heart & future lies (what a waste if i was to work 2/3rds of my life in jobs i do not like) I think it is great that you are a member of these forums as it shows that you are striving to understand and prepare for the future & am supporting your husband in a career which he has decided to do, good luck with everything & hope you find happiness as a wife of a soldier |

It is a blessing and I havent been here for a while but I try to pop in as often as I can. We are still waiting for waivers and such....I am just trying to be patient (which is not my personality LOL) and supportive even though I am totally frustrated right now! ~~ Nikki  |
