AB2,
I've been in the USAF for 18 years and married for 19 to the same woman. Our ops tempo has been high since I can remember. My question is this something you really want to do? This sounds harsh, but I tell the youngsters that you should never pick an assignment because of a piece of a**...your marriage is going to work or it's not! I've seen bros who have done this to please their wives and it was the biggest mistake they've made...it still ended in divorce! It sucks when you end up pushing paper and dealing with a "beotch" and her man-hating female lawyer. We've had many a friend over listening to them cry over their beers about what they should have done with their lives. If you keep your d*ck in your pants when your deployed and your wife is not a needy, self-centered troll, things will be just fine! Sorry for sounding so caustic, but this is the reality of the work we choose!
