  I'm so lost.
OP most of us aren't going to be any help to you if you're not talking about US military, every country does things different

Quoting Annika + Keita:“ i wasnt asking about US military.. i was asking general questions..for ladies who live anywhere in the world. sorry maybe i should have said, i thought youd notice where i lived..”

Oh, well we aren't familiar with how your country runs your military!

Google is your friend for this one

Your initial questions were about general military but the more you asked it needed more specific questions..

yah thanks ive googles heaps. just wanted to know what it felt like to have a partner in the military and google cant really tell you much about feelings lol. 

yeah i know my questions got more specific i didnt mean to originally   but i just got to explaining the situation behind it and thought i'd ask for some more general advice as i figured there are probably at least some similarities between the US and NZ military

yea i know i didnt realize they werent married

did you want them to join?
I was kinda nuetral on the subject. I knew he was interested in it, I had knows for years that he wanted to join so I wasn't surprised when he did. I was happy in a way that he did join, because I could see how misreable he was in the type of jobs he had, and I knew he would be good in the military.

What was it like being by yourself?
You get into a routine. It sucks when he's gone, even if its just a short time. I learn to find things to keep me busy, not to sit around and mope or cry all the time , because it won't make you feel better. This time around I'll be pregnant, so I bet it will fly by lol

Did you find your relationship grew stronger/fell apart/stayed the same?
Grew stronger. We have become closer since he joined and feel like we are both stronger people in general because of it. We both really appreciate the time we have to together a ton more as well.

Was it worth it?
Over all yes. My husband has got great training and a lot of respect out of it. We got to become a family, and not worry about stability as much. Just seeing the way he's matured and grown, it makes me so proud of him
