Wanna make your soldier do a double take when he returns from Iraq? TMWC is partnering with "Capessa.com ":http://capessa.comto give a few lucky ladies the chance to give their husbands a welcome back surprise that will be sure to remind him just how great it is to come home. The women we select to participate will be filmed for a series of online videos that will be published in the fall.
Have you ever thought about joining the military? I can't say that I ever have and here are some of my reasons. Please feel free to comment and add yours!
I hate deployments and all that crap it really sux. But i would really love if my husband re enlist. it would help our family out soooo much. We live in a very small town with no jobs and i just dont know what we're gonna do. We have two small kids to take care of and i havent even gone to college yet. I'm just really freaking out about it all. I know he hates it...but i really dont think he will like being a civilian....I really hope he'll re enlist!!

I hope mine re-enlists, too.
I could have written that. Idk what we're going to do when he gets out.
Have you talked to him about this?
Then go to college. You can take online classes if there isn't a community college nearby.
Then go to college. You know, if he is unhappy with what he is doing, than you pushing him to re-enlist is only goint to make him resent you later. I really think that you should talk to him, but consider what he wants too.
U have to have money and time to go to college...i dont have any of those and i really wont when he gets out of the army.
It sucks that he hates it, but it does sound like right now he is doing what he needs to to support your family. I hope YOU are utilizing the time he is in to go to school instead of sitting around letting him carry most of the load. I hate my job and I wish I could quit, I would be mad if I finally got the chance to one day and my husband was like "Oh wait I didn't go to school yet".
You are very wrong that you need money to go to college. Time yes, but if you learn to multi-task than the time will fit into your scedule. I have heard so many "military wives" make excuses for continueing their education just like you are. All I have to say to women like you is I'm not going to feel sorry for you IF and I say IF he ever finds someone else and leaves your ass on the side of the road and YOUR stuck trying to make ends meet and taking care of the kids. Think about it. Anything can happen and no one is less likely to have it happen than the next person. You need to get some education and have something for yourself and not rely everything on him. Also, let him make his own career choices and you find yours.
I agree with the last comment; I am an Army wife I work full time and go to school full time and have two children. I know it sucks but you have to do what is best for you and you only, as she said he could decide he wants to be with someone who has more ambition and that will leave you with nothing.
