Welcome back

[anonymous]

It's great to see you’re back on-line again. Great to see you getting active with soccer that should help keep those troublesome pounds off. Lord knows that need to get active again. How is your family holding up with you gone so long? I ask because I'm thinking of joining, but I don't want to put a strain on my marriage. It's not perfect but what is right. Anyway I'd better get. I look forward to reading your posts.

Well, it definitely is a strain...but they seem to be holding up pretty well. Do you have kids? What specialty are you looking at? All those things can have a positive or negative impact. I've got a good buddy from high school whom I've just revived contact with through his wife, he's currently doing an Infantry tour in Iraq while his wife and two small children are in TX, and I think it takes a special kind of spouse to deal with all of that strain. I'd recommend to anyone to join the military if at all possible, I think it's in the top 5 best decisions I've made in my life.

Feel free to stop by anytime, comment as you feel inclined,

I have a little girl Asia, she's about to turn two and I worry that she will forget me. As of right now I don't know what I want to do I haven't talked to anyone about this yet. I want to do more and I feel that this is one way that I can. How did you talk to your husband about your feelings? As you stated that they are holding up pretty well, has the Army caused problems between you to? I feel that my hubby would support me and I know that the adventures would be exciting for the three of us. I just don't know about leaving them. I don't know if I can do that yet. I'm so undecided, that is why I keep reading others journals to see what is happening in their lives. I hope that I can make up my mind. I'm going crazy not knowing what I want to do with my life.

You’re Anakarin's DH correct? How are you holding up with your wife being gone for so long? You past posts on your LJ page don't look to encouraging to me. Your thoughts and writings make me sad. I can tell that you love your wife tremendously by what you wrote. And to just think that you also had major surgery while you are raising three kids on your own!
I am thinking of joining the service but fear that my marriage will suffer. With what you are going through what would you recommended. I want to ask as many people as I can so I can make the best decision I can since this not only affects my life but the lives of my loved ones.
I am posing this question here and at your page so I don't cause any problems with you and her.
Please be honest with your response.

I hope that I didn't cause problems with you and your husband. I didn't want that at all. I don't like to sign in with my live journal user name due to my hubby being a little jealous. I am sorry if I caused any problems. I don't like to cause problems please forgive me if I did.
