I need your help. My wife believes, from reading Facebook Military Wives, page, who say untruths like that when attend Military School like Basic Officer Leadership Course, Captain's Career Course, Command & General Staff Officer College, etc. that the Officers/Students don't study much and Military Wives Facebook alleges infidelity by rank and file. I want your honest opinion. I am talking ARNG/USAR.

I have brought my wife to one course (pre-BN CMD), because there was a relevant bit for her. I am taking her with me to the AWC Second Resident Course - we start driving Tuesday - because I'd like her to see me graduate and because we are incorporating a few day's vacation at her parents. All other courses, I have gone alone.

I have observed enough "what happens on TDY stays on TDY" behavior in my career not to pretend it doesn't happen. However, I tend to think that those who feel the need to "go to protect their marriages" are already too late.

I have never brought my wife on training and have four 12 month deployments. We have been married 25 years and four children. You must trust and engage each other in their goals and plans.
If another person becomes attractive to you, you must choose to avoid habits that cause you to be tempted and refocus on your spouse. Don't hang around spouse cheats or go to strip clubs, it sets the stage for infidelity. Long term relationships- It's a marathon, not a sprint

My spouse does not travel with me to any school. In BOLC and CCC we did study during the week for tests. There were chances to go out and there is always a possibility of infidelity. If you have a strong marriage and trust each other it shouldn't be an issue.
