How do military wives deal with their husbands being away so much?
Q. My husband has his own business and he is always busy at work. He has been working extra hard these days because of the recession. We always get in fights before he's so busy all the time, then I wonder: how do military wives deal with it? Their husbands are away for months at a time, and overseas. Please tell me (especially if you are a military wife.) I would really appreciate it it. Thanks.

A. You realize it will happen. You have to stay busy. Work, go to school, volunteer your time, start a new hobby etc. Each person learns to cope in their own way but the military offers lots of support groups.

How has being in the military changed you?
Q. Military Commercials always advertise that they'll change you into great leaders when you come home and you're out of the military. I just wanted to know from personal experiences if anyone could give me an example in how being in the military made you a better person/leader. I respect all military people for fighting for my freedom, thanks.

How do graduate programs at military colleges work?
Q. I'm looking for a graduate program in military history, and all the best ones seem to be at military institutions (obviously). If attend a military college for a graduate program, do I have to join the military, or can I just go for the degree? I must also specify that I would prefer to not do an online program or degree
Asked by Frost - Mon May 4 22:53:51 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. The military has graduate schools as well like the Naval Postgraduate School. These institutions are not available for general enrollment. You must either be in the military and be assigned there as a student, some US government civilians can apply as well depending on the program, or you have to be a foreign military officer/government worker and apply through the US s foreign military assistance. I am at NPS now in an engineering program. It is second rate and the people I know in the international relations program it is called national security studies are also going through a second rate program. Private college graduate programs in the US are far superior.

A. Unfortunately alot of "mercs" won't take someone with asthma. Blackwater and a few other contractors won't touch you unless your physically fit. If your last asthma attack has not been within the last 5 years, you may be eligible for the military. You will have to get a cardiopulminary exam by your own physician and submit that paperwork to your local recruiter. To be honest with you, most recruiters will brush you off, so make sure you follow up if the above is true. If you still have asthma and take an inhaler, unfortunately you will not be fighting.

A. Ownership in your private, off-duty life is treated just like you were a civilian. Your military weapons are issued to you while on duty, they are kept on the base. You cannot take them home and your enlisted status does not entitle you to any special private ownership rights. Now that being said, the M9 (I assume you mean the Italian 9mm semi-auto pistol?) is a perfectly legal firearm for a civilian. You can buy handguns in Maryland no problem, just as long as you pass the background check and waiting period. Any licensed gun shop has the paperwork there and can give you the whole explanation. Know that in Maryland, you must keep the handgun at home, or travel with it in a box. It is illegal to carry concealed or openly, and… [cont.]

A. Preparing to be a Military wife, be independent... with him gone, you will get a feel for it prior the I Do's... don't block the negative, just sort threw it. Happily Married myself to my Husband and the Military for 15 years! Just take the negative and tough times in stride... there is always a sunny side to it! As I stated right off, independent, do not become a hermit while he is deployed! Take moves and transfers with a grin, and be supportive.

The paperwork is a no brainer, just make sure he takes the proper paperwork to the proper people and its done, that simple!

How do I get started in a career in counseling the military? And do I have to be in the Military to do this?
Q. I am currently a undergraduate student. I'm very interested in becoming a counselor, therapist or social worker for the military, especially for all the troops coming back home, burdened with the stress and trauma of war. I googled it and I can only seem to find lists of careers in the military (i.e. www.careersinthemilitary. com) but not information about how to go about becoming a therapist or counselor for the miltary. More importantly, I am not in the military and I am wondering if I have to be to be a counselor?

A. You didn't say what country you are in but I'll assume the US. Nearly any job you can think of is available to you in the military. The cool part is they will training and if you can avoid combat, you can get paid to do what you love. I don't know all the current details of military recruitment so you'll need to talk to a recruiter. I can't emphasis this enough, don't believe what they say until you see the enlistment contract you'll be signing. 99% of recruiters are honest but a few will promise anything. I would also insist on speaking with someone in the military who is doing the career you want to pursue. Mike Honeycutt
