Hi Amana, My husband retired from the air force over a week ago. It's good to have him back again! You might want to look at some of my recent articles I had publised about the military lifestye. Sophie

You pretty much hit it dead on. My hubby was in the Navy when I married him, and later he went into the Army. It was nothing like I expected, but I welcomed the challenge. I made quite a few life time friends that still write to us after 20 years. I actually liked being a part of the military community, but I would not want him to be active duty now. Its just not the same anymore. Anyway, great article!
