Would I be a fool to get out of the military?

I don't know anything about the military, but I know a bit about being a wife of 20 years. This question should go to her. Having a marriage in the military requires dual-sacrifices, and any married couple has to consider the question of children- either now or not now, but you being home or away or deployed, these are all HUGE HUGE HUGE marital decisions.
I'll be frank, I wish my sons would enlist, and in that same sentence I'll confess that I couldn't be married to an enlisted man- I need my husband home. I don't think this is an employment issue as much as it is a marital one. I wish you both the best as you decide, together.
