I found myself talking to my mom about my future and how I didn't want all these years to pass by and at the end of this journey look back and see that I did nothing with my life but supported him through his. Not that I don't wish my husband the best but I too have goals and I would like to meet them before its too late. I need to get myself together and find out what I really want out of life! This helped me a lot!

I think that this is from a number of factors, but the largest of them being I didn't get married until I was 28 and at that point already had a very good sense of myself, and had a very good career started... which happens to be quite portable and personally I work almost entirely with military kids anyways. When my huband (then boyfriend) was deployed I was finishing up working on a certification, which in addition to my job gave me plenty to focus on. <br />It also helps that I have been part of another close knit and geographically diverse community (swing dancers!) so that I know most places the Navy can send us, I will have non-military friends and interests to keep me entertained.<br />So, yeah, I think you are quite right that it is so important to have things to do that are OURS that we can take with us if and when the military uproots us.

I am at the very beginning of my military wife journey, and I too was concerned at what would happen to me and my goals when having to succumb to NAVY orders.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16871852157428067629noreply@blogger.com
