Hi everyone! I am 23 years old as a ftm and a sahm to a 9month old baby girl. My fiancé has wanted to join the military since we were 18 but i always said no. I feel bad as he has always supported me in whatever i wanted. I now want to return the favor and have encouraged him instead of shutting it down. Any military families here? Any advice? What life would look like ?

*in my opinion*
Only an idiot would join the military in this political climate. Now is not the time to sign up to be a slave to the government.
I was in the army, my husband is a marine on his second enlistment- we reenlisted for my second’s birth to be covered and because he wants to do college while in- we both wish he got out when we had the chance
Your experience will depend on his MOS, his leadership, and where you are stationed (we ended up in California and are very thankful for that)

my husband is military, we’ve had a positive experience so far.

My husband is military and has been in for almost 7 years. We have two little one also. Feel free to reach out if you have questions and want opinions!

My husband is military - if you have questions please feel free to message me. So far so good lol
