Ok it doesn't matter what branch you or your spouse serves in. What matters is the fact that you/ they are serving. Which is a huge commitment and makes for a tough life. Being a spouse of a service member is hard! Especially whenever it was my dream to join but I didn't get to. it's hard because your always being taken away from the ones you love. You don't get a say. And you do it for the freedom of every one els. Even those ungrateful for their freedom. So please, DO NOT JUDGE ME if I'm having a rough day, and feel the need to vent. I'm human, I have feelings too. Yes, I have to be strong, I have no choice but I can still admit when I am at least feeling weak. ✌ I do not take my life for granted. We do not get a ton of $$$. We live from pay check to pay check most the time and that's just with paying bills. Military family's have the same struggles just as others. Sometimes, worse. It isn't as a forgiving lifestyle as it sounds on the outside. So if you've never lived it. Don't criticize it.
