Hey guys, so this is my first time posting here; I have a few questions i would like to ask about the infantry. First i would like start off by saying Infantry is really my calling, i've been preparing myself to apply in the army for the last 2 years sadly ive had some minor set backs. I'm 22 years old, i have a soon to be wife who is 6 1/2 months pregnant. I mainly haven't applied for the army because i had to go back and finish high school which is hard to afford when your out on your own with a low paying job But in recent events I'm getting my high school equivalency in June.
Ive read all kinds of forums on the infantry i know its not a 9-5 kind of job i do realize ill be away from home quite often, but with no more missions out in afghan i'm guessing you'll be on base often just training, can u still have a Family and raise a child as a infanteer? Is it hard to find a home near or on base for your family? Most Infantry forums people would say your better off single with no kids but is there anyway around that? Because deep down i know i'm made for the infantry. But i don't want to miss half my kids life.
Surely there must be some infantry guys who have kids and wife back home that could tell me what it's like for them.
Hope someone could help me out here thanks :nod:
