For those of you who answered so negetively I hope you realize as you sit in your homes and raise your children it's our military that is keeping you and your loved ones safe. Remember pently of families work and they still show love and support to their children. I already considered the hole factor of deployment..that is not a concern for me right now. Thank you to all who answered!

YES!!! You can all you have to do is prove that you are married and that you husband agrees to you joining, you also have to have a family care plan that means you have to have someone who is able to take care of your kids in case you and you husband are deployed at the same time. and its that easy don't let anybody's bad, mean, or hateful comments stop you from doing something that you really want to do!!!!! My husband is in the Army and has been for 6years now and i just joined in February I also have a 14 month old little girl. It's the best thing i could have done i love it!!!! i Hope everything works out for you!!!!

The fact that you say 'the whole deployment thing isn't a factor right now' shows you should not join. We are a military family, I am prior service and left when I had my daughter. What a selfish thing to ask of your children to have both you and your husband deploy at the same time. Yes, many military are duel military but that was often the case before the children were born and most have plans to take it down to only one parent in as soon as the enlistment ends. You have no idea what that does to children. Bad idea there mom.

I am a military spouse, so I know our military members are out there, serving and protecting our country. But I still don't understand why you would want to do that to yourself and your children. You say it's not a concern for you right now, and as a mother I truly don't understand that. I've considered joining, but I've seen the stress my daughter goes through when my husband is away from us, there is no way I would choose to double her stress by making her worry about me being away too. I'm really not trying to put you down or be negative, but I know lots of dual military couples, and some of their kids have lots of problems. That said, you can join, there is nothing to prevent you from it as long as you can pass the physical requirements and take the ASVAB, and of course you'll have to have a family care plan in place. I do hope you don't join but if you do, then good luck.

If you get deployed to Iraq who will take care of your kids? The mission comes first. Will the army accept the GED? I know the Air Force will not. You will have some important questions to answer for them.

Reserves only. with children you cannot go Active since your spouse is already in. I don't know whether or not the Reserves is taking GED holders .

This depends on the state that you live in. In Florida you can still serve but in most cases they put you in the reserves.

join the reserves, it would be much easier, but Im sure you could join active. I mean if you have a good family care plan in place.

NO, because you have more than 2 dependents.
Also, IF you are over the age of 34 it will be impossible for you to join.
No worries, there are better careers out there.

Why would you want to do that to your children? They are already missing their daddy and then you want to leave too? Who would raise YOUR children? No one can love your child like you do...I don't care if it's another family member, they can't. Don't do this to them, you'll regret it for the rest of your life. Children are only children for a short while, don't miss out on their childhood, please, for their sakes and your own.
I hope you think about this. I wish you well.
