The military put us thru a lot of training, but they have no training for us on how to be a husband and father. I think it's a subject that needs to be taught for husband and wives that serve in the Military.
AMEN!!! And not just to people in the military, but to EVERYONE. I was just talking to my daughter about this last night. We should have classes in high school that deal with how to be a great spouse and parent, and how to handle personal finances. How is it that we are taught history, science, math, etc. but not the skills that are MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL???? Nooo, we're just supposed to figure that out as we go! And unfortunately the only way we really learn those life skills is by screwing up and learning from our mistakes. Not the most efficient method!

I have to say, that I really hate this situation, but the honest truth is it has been a blessing. Inhave learned so much about myself, my wife and my boys. I have gain tools that I never would have without this wake up call. I have gotten back in church and has made Jesus and GOD a daily part of my life. I'm also more optimistic. I do have my down moments and days, but with this forum and Vets like you 25 I know I'm going to be alright. Oh, I'm smiling more and enjoying being around people.
That is a very healthy attitude to have about it. All any of us can do about it is learn, improve ourselves and keep moving forward!
