How Do I Handle His Desision

By: tylersmom17

Written on January 15th, 2009

I am a 17 year old mother of a 8 month old little boy. My fiance (and the babys father) has just joind the army for a 4 year inrollment. i've know him for 4 years and i love him and our son so much. When he told me he dicited to join the army i didnt know what to think, and i still dont. i know his reasonings for doing this, and that it was going to be good for our small family. However I'm so nurvouse that when he gets done with his basic training, an ect. and gets into active duty that he could get hurt. we plan to get married and have me and our little one move down onto the base with him. But im still nurvouse and not sure how to handle it all along with caring for a little one alone all the time.

I have been an army wife for alittle over a year. My husband decieded to pick infantry as his mos which i was EXTREAMLY unhappy about i tried so had to convince him to do something else but he wouldnt he told me someone has to do and and it will be good for us in the end. So he did 6 months into us being at our duty station he got deployed. I wanted to be mad at him and mad at the army but i couldnt i chose to stand by him in his brave choice and that is what i am doing now 4 months into our deployment. And i couldnt not be happier that i did! We may be thousands of miles away from eachother and i may not like that i have to work so hard alone here! I would i would we worst off with out him ! ALOT worse! It is a very hard life but its worth it if your with someone you love and loves you !! Good Luck with everything... message me/ friend me if you would like <3

War in Iraq is over. He most likely won't get deployed at all. It'll just be like a regular day job.

It's a hard life, but it's worth it. I'm still a newbie. My husband will be in a yr soon. We spend alot of time apart, but we made the decision together, and I stand by it 100%.

I'm new to this whole thing and my husband is active duty 4 year also! It is not bad, especially if they get appointed to a good base or unit! It will all be okay!
