How does taking command put extra strain on marriage?
In EZY taking a command will often mean relocating to another base. This is normally temporary but could be in a different country.
If you've a wife and kids settled at the original base then commuting for 6 months to ???? can take its strain on the relationship.
I was away 4 months if you include a type rating course and back most weekends but if it had been a permanent thing (i.e. a few years or more) then the wife said there was no point in being married!!!
