Thank you to you and your husband for your service! As a vet and a Navy brat I know the importance of family and the impact of the member’s service on the family. All too often the family’s role is overlooked. God bless you and your husband!
It’s gotten better. It used to be, “If the Military wanted you to have a family, they would’ve issued you one!” to, “If Mama ain’t happy, ain’t NOBODY happy!”
In the mid-1980’s ‘The Powers That Be’ sat down and looked at re-enlistment numbers, saw that they were WAY down and figured it out...all by themselves. ;)
