So it’s come to this. As a newly-minted “stay at home” dad, I have a lot of other responsibilities to deal with in addition to my Marlins news updates for Marlin Maniac. I had no idea of how hard some of these things were while elsewhere. I have a newfound appreciation for my wife, who was really working as a “stay-at-home” mom for most of my enlistment while I completed my 21 years in the military.
Moving every three years is hard on a military spouse. She could never get a job that fit her credentials, and if she did, she would have to leave just as things started to get in a groove for her.
