Wow. That was everything I was looking for. Thank you so much and God Bless you!!

I would appreciate ANY help anyone can offer based on experience or general knowledge.. I have a few questions about my wife joining the navy. She already has her BSN so I understand she will be sent to officer school. My questions are basically: 1. Will I get to see her right after shes done? Will she leave school and immediately be sent to "one of the big 3" as I have read? Or will she be allowed to get her affairs at home in order such as selling our house, packing, preparing to move our kids etc? 2. If she goes straight there, will I get to pack up with our kids and come to her right after she arrives or will I have to wait? (we plan to live on base for at least a little while.) 3. How likely is it for her to be at that post for some time? I have heard/read something like at least 6 months there. Sometimes I have seen/read that this first assignment can be as long as a year or even more... 4. How likely is it for her to be deployed if she wants to just be a clinical nurse? 5. If she does get deployed is that like breaking the first assignment for a new one? I don't really understand the whole deployment process and how it can pertain to spouses and honestly it is the only scary part for me. The idea of her being somewhere for a year that myself and the kids can't go as well is scary. 6. Lastly, if she does get deployed it seems likely we would at least be able to come to almost anywhere with her correct? I mean I get if she gets sent to Iraq or something, we probably would not be able to come with but there are a lot of other places we could I'm hoping..
