How is your family life when your in NAVY?

I was in the marine corps with a family and it does take a toll on your family. First you gotta be sure your significant other has what it takes to be a military wife. I was given a one year unacommpanied tour to okinawa so I only saw my wife for a few weeks the entire year. If you are igned a permanent duty station your wife will be allowed to move with you. Deployments are just that, only you and your unit usually do these. Your wife would need to give up her job (if she wants to be with you) if you get a change of duty station. I was stationed or deployed overseas for about 3 out of the 5 years I was in but we made it through and are still married. Being married in the military is not an easy thing so don't just jump into it. You don't want to be wondering what your spouse is doing the whole time you are away from them. Luckily I never had to doubt my wife. Good luck
