Well my husband has decided to join the Army. He had joined it before when he was 18 but tested pos for marijuana so they kicked him out and told him he could'nt reapply for 10 years so that's what he did. Then he askes me about it. Of course I don't want to be an Army family. Don't get me wrong I think the military is great. But I don't want my husband to be in it. I told him my reasons and these are the reasons. 1) I do not want to be so far away from my oldest son. 2) I don't think I can be away from my husband for any amount of time he is what I consider my safe person if that makes any sense. 3) It's war time 4) His Crohn's would make it extra hard on him. He probably won't get to take pain meds for it. and 5) I don't want to uproot my youngest son. I tried to tell him all these things and he thinks I'm not being supportive. He thinks the Army is the only way to get a leg up money wise. I told him to go to collage or something. He want's to get into the technology field. He can do that here at collage. He says, " You wanna live like this just barley scrapping by forever?" I told him he ought to be thankful to have a job and a little money. He is thinking that the Army is going to solve all of our problems with money and give us a good future. And all I'm thinkin is were going to live in Texas or Georgia or N.C. Far away from the only place I have ever known. I panic thinking about it! I don't want that. I want to stay in Kentucky or at least some state close. He don't understand. He's doing it anyway. He asked for my thoughts on it and I told him and he got mad. If he did'nt want to know my thoughts and opinoins he should'nt have asked me. But he sure is hell ain't considering them. He makes me sound like an a-hole. Like I'm killing his dream or something. And being un patriotic. All that. But I'm not! I just don't feel comfortable with it. And I won't. What's going to happen is he's going to do this and I'll go along with it for a couple of years and eventually, it will cause me to not like him for making me do this. Then no tellin what. A divorce or seperation or some awful **** like that. Because he knows I do not feel comfortable with this. And he's done it anyway. He can't say he did'nt know because three days ago when he told me he was going to talk to the recruiter, I told him then. Then yesterday he filled out the paprwork anyway and I told him again. He's just damned hard headed
