It really depends on who you are as a family.yes he will go on set for 4 to 6 months every 3 to 4 years, you'll move with the same regularity. I think that anyone who joins with a family needs to so with their eyes wide open. It might work for you. I'd suggest that you all try and get a visit to your nearest unit so that you can chat. Pm me if you want with your location I might be able to help
