Ruth and Greenfreddie
I am in the same boat wondering the same questions
I am at phase 2 and 34 yrs old
Both my wife and i have good careers in the uk but if i get through then one option we are looking at is her coming out with me hence this thread is very useful - keep it coming
Further options include
She stays here and takes leave from her career to come out for several 1 week holidays throughout the 11 months - in this case i reckon she would move out of our rented (yes we still rent Malvern is too expensive even for a prof couple with no kids
) and move in with friends as a lodger etc.
We plan our first child such that she is able to take maternity leave (9mths of it!) at the same time?
She comes out with me and finds work for 11months
This is hard because cadets have to routinely return to the UK dont they?
I dont get through selection in which case we all remain as we are
Its certainly difficult but by reading posts on here it is clear to see that many people have been through a lot worse than we are facing. I mean i read one chaps account and he had a fmaily including kids and ended up selling his house etc - hardcore
