Hello all,
My wife is interested in joining the Guard and has been so for a long time, but I travel for work. To top that off we have two kids. Is there any suggestions or personal experiences that anyone can share? She just wants to do more in her life. Thank you all.

SPC (Join to see) The mother of my sons wanted to do “more”.
She hustled Avon Products, worked in the elementary school’s cafeteria, did volunteer work, was involved in the Methodist Church and — finally got a job!
She was delighted, when I returned from work, she announced she would soon start work.
I said, “how much”? and told her she was worth more $.
She got a raise before she started work!
Single military is difficult - dual military is much more so. What is the most important -your marriage - or guiding your wife into another less demanding, rewarding endeavor?
