Females in the Active Duty Army, married with a child! Please answer! Dual military marriage.?

For christ's sakes - you are enlisting into the Army! Our primary job is to go to overseas locations, blow stuff up and kill bad guys; NOT sitting around Fort Living Room, working a 9-5 job.. That said, here are a few points to consider: - you need to work on those English language skills; a key part of your duties as an MP will be to write up reports ... and right now, your language skills suck; you NEED to learn to write better - your contract is for 8 years - everyone enlists for 8 years; it is how that term is divided up that is different; I have never heard of a 4.5 years term of active service - you MIGHT get to be co-located with your spouse - the Army only guarantees a "maybe" - you WILL NOT only work a 9-5 job; first of all you will do PT in the morning at 0630, and your routine duty day will run until approximately 1630. If you are on shift work, then you might be pulling any combination of evening and weekend duty ... and none of this includes field training that can be several weeks out in the woods or at a combat training center.

- if you get deployed to a combat theater, it will be for no more than a year; tours in Afghanistan are only nine months right now - of course, people are telling you that they did not deploy - we are in the process of withdrawing from Afghanistan, so many younger, newer troops will not be deploying at all unless we go to war with someone else soon - none of us can tell you your chances of deployment as we are pulling out of Afghanistan and with out the magic crystal ball, how do I know who we will be fighting next, or when? - after AIT, you will go to your first unit and duty location - and it will likely not be where your husband is assigned All-in-all, it sounds to me that you are only hearing what you want to hear from the Recruiter, or he is feeding you a line of crap; either way, it also sounds to me that you don't really understand what the Army is all about at it's core - i.e. : killing people and blowing stuff up; if you can't steel yourself that you will be a Soldier and may go to war, then you need to remain a civilian.

1. Your chances of being deployed as an MP sometime during your 4-year active duty tour are almost 100%. 2.

It's normal to be nervous about deployments, but if you're actually scared, then find another career path!

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
