I am a mother of tow children and a wife of a soldier, I have wanted to join the military for sometime now. Everytime I mention it to my husband he always has a reason why I shouldnt. Whether it be an unstable life for the kids ( with two parents in the military) or to it possibly destroying our marriage. I want to do this, but I dont want to destroy the family I have and love. Any thoughts?

with children and an Active Duty spouse, you are ineligible to go Active Duty. Only Reserves.

I wouldn't although it is an honorable cause the family u have is what should come first
My father is in the military and in Iraq every day there is a threat to his life if ur husband dies (don't get paranoid) but if he does and u get deployed that would leave the children and if u get killed the children would be fatherless and motherless
no I do not think u should go into the military no matter how much u want to I agree with Erudite

The army has what is called a Family Care Plan which appoints a power of attorney over your kids in the event you are both deployed at the same time. They will deploy you both at the same time and it isn't together. So if that happened you would not only be concerned for your own safety and for your husband your also going to have to worry about your kids back in the states who are living with out either of their parents for 12-18months... do you really want to risk doing that to your family? It's not easy and people do it all the time... but you have to ask yourself if it's the right lifestyle for you and is it what is best for your family.

Well you know you are gonna have to be deployed.
Deployments are never easy on the kids and you being the mom it's gonna be harder on them....
I think you should listen to your husband .Try to find a job that pays better than what the military pays and stay with your kids .

Maybe he just doesn't want you to go through and see what he's been through and seen. I would listen to him and support him and take care of the children. I think love and support is all he needs from you right now.

Stay at home and be a wife. Women do not have a right to be in the military. You have two children so stay at home and cook and wash clothes. Women belong in the home....Not in the military after having children. a Mother...and wife....The most important job in the world.
