So now that my husband is active duty, I keep getting asked if I plan to get out of the reserves, by other reservists. It's kind of annoying. Although I understand that there is always a chance that I could be called up for IA duty while he is out to sea or on IA duty himself, we understood this was possible even when he was just in the reserves. I understand that some people are more worried because we have children, but it is part of military life. And I made a commitment for 6 years reserves, with over 4 years left on that commitment, which would bring me to 16 years total military service, which is really hard to waste. And I know I have family support.
I was just wondering how others felt about dual military. Do you think that it is wrong for two parents to both be in the military? Does it matter what branch or odds of being sent out together? Planning isn't really a problem, because the military requires dual military couples with children to have a dual deployment plan.
Obviously I don't have issues with it, and I wouldn't ask if I didn't want honest opinions.
