Just found out last weekend that my loving Spouse will be abandoning his family and life as we know it to do a Navy Reserve tour in IRAQ!
I am NOT thrilled. I may have to quit *my* jobs in order to take care of our children. I SO wanted him to get out last August when he had the chance... but NO, he had to go for the 20 year retirement pay...and look what it's going to get us. Seven to 24 months of heartache and hardship. If it even pays enough to support us I'll still have no childcare so that I can work, no help, no support. We lost our appartment, our savings, a car and almost lost his job when he went to Desert Storm. I have NO faith that it will be differant this time, no faith that it will only be 7 months. The Navy wont even talk to me about this until less than 30 days before he leaves in July.
