Anyone have a spouse in the Air Force?

[Jakesgirl05]

Hello everyone! I just had a couple questions for cfer's with a spouse in the air force. My husband and I have been married for 5 years and have no children yet (but would like to soon) and my hubby is wanting to join the air force. This was so scary to me at first (being away from friends and family and wanting to have kids soon) but now I think it will be a good thing. I just would like to know if anyone else is in this position? have any advice for us? If you have kids or not would help as well<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> Thank you.

I'm not in the position you're describing, but can sort of relate. I was a USAF brat growing up, so there were regularly periods of time when it would just be me mum, my brother, and me at home. Thankfully, my mom was/is a healthy lady with lots of energy, so we always got by nicely. (Well, we were fairly naughty - but she could deal with us.)

Give some thought to how comfortable you are with being alone with an infant / toddler / young child for months at a time. Once he's enlisted (or in OTS - whatever), you may not always have good control over when he's around and when he isn't.
