I am new at all of this and my husband is in training to be a nurse. This portion of it is the worse he said becasue they treat you like a basic trainie even though he is prior service. Does it get better? He cant come home at night only on the weekends. He keeps telling me this is only temporary. Are there any army wifes out there like me? Please help me.

After the training and Mic 6 class does it get better for them? They say they get to come home at night after the first stage of combat medic class. I just hate being without him. I miss him so much

I was in the Army and had a husband that was in the military...Training is only temp.. It will get better...You have nothing to worry about..When he comes home on the weekends enjoy it until he gets a duty station. Prior service means nothing in AIT, you have to train just like a regular trainee...So please stop crying...You are making it hard for him...He has to be focused on what he is doing...He doesn't need to be worried about you at home..Be strong for him...he needs your encouragement now...It is tough...If I didn't have people in my life telling me to hang in there and you are going to make, I probably wouldn't have made it...but to hear that you miss him and crying that is pressure....Start preparing for your future, save your money, get involved in some things and before you know it, he will be home...Make the most of your life now while he is away and when he comes home spend the time with him, cause there will be times that he won't be home, think about it....

Didn't anybody tell you that being an army wife was the hardest job in the army. Yes it does get better, until he deploys, b/c then he doesn't come home at all. Its just one of those things that happens, depending on his MOS. You'll get used to it. It really sucks when he's in Iraq when you are pregnant, b/c they miss out on so much. Don't worry just keep your head up and support your man. :) I finally found this...I wanted to share it with you 1 1/2 cups Patience
1 lb. Adaptability
3/4 cup Tolerance
1 tsp. Courage
A Dash of Adventure
Combine above ingredients: Add 2 tablespoons elbow grease. Let sit
alone for one year. Marinate frequently with salty tears. Pour off
excess fat. Sprinkle lightly with money. "Knead" dough until payday.
Season with international spices. Bake 20 years or until done.....

I am an army wife and a veteran. It does get better but you have to understand that things can be very different from duty station to duty station. Some assignments can be very laid back and some can have him gone for a year at a time or in the field 2 weeks out of the month. You have to be ready for some sacrifices. If you want to keep him at home as much as possible try to get a TRADOC assignment.

Talk to the army chaplain. He'll know of all the army dependents support groups on the base. Your husband is right, AIT is not forever.

Remember your vows of "for better or for worse". If you are lonely, make sure you keep in close touch with your family and in close touch with God.
No matter what job your husband would have, there would be sacrifices for both of you to make. Keep busy and love your husband!
I hope the best for both of you!

I'm not in your situation but I just wanted to advise you to google "army wives" and there are a bunch of links that offer support to wives of men in the armed forces. Best wishes!

check around on base and see if there are any wives of soldiers groups that you can join. either that or start one. almost every military wife i have ever talked to goes through this.
