My husband and I dated for four years, including while I was taking my pre-reqs for Nursing school (BSN). We discovered we were pregnant decided to get married. He joined the military to support his family and told me that he would support me finishing school. He is currently at A school, and I have been accepted into Nursing school here for January and he will be stationed somewhere (we don't know where yet) in March. I have been researching, and childcare services on base typically have year long waiting lists. I currently get childcare for free where I am now. My tuition here is mostly paid for as well. If he gets stationed in California I have read that it is nearly impossible to get into Nursing school. I don't have any volunteer experience, and my GPA is a 3.2. That doesn't make me a very competitive applicant. My husband is heartbroken that I am considering staying behind even though that was the plan originally. I know it has been rough on him to be away from his baby. Even though I promised to visit as often as possible, I think he is finding it impossible to imagine being away from the baby for 2 years. I have always wanted to be a nurse, and I would never forgive myself if I didn't finish school. I am SO torn on what to do. I know I will be bitter and unhappy if I do not stay true to my dreams. I would even be willing to let my son live with my husband for the last year while I stay to finish up if that is an option, is it?? Would my husband be able to live apart from wife with baby while active duty? Are there any military spouses that have had to make tough choices like this before??
