Okay, my husband is considering going into the army. He got a 97 on his ASVAB and wants to do something in computers or languages. My concern is him spending the whole time in Afghanistan or Iraq. I know there is a possibility of being shipped off and I am okay with it as long as it is not the whole time. So my questions: Is it a definite that he will be deployed? Is he at least going to be trained in whatever he is going for first, or is that not likely either? Is there a field that is less likely to get deployed? I keep hearing these stories of people going into the military and they spend 90% of the whole term away from their family. I know some of you might think that I am overreacting, but we have a one year old and I want to make sure that he is aware of the reality when it comes to how much time he may actually have to spend away from his little girl. Please help, we don't know how to make this decision. It seems like the most stable thing to do is go into the military, but I want to make sure he knows what he might be sacrificing before he makes the final decision.
