Scarecrow,
First, Thanks to YOU and your husabnd for your service! When a person is in the Nav, the whole family serves.
Second, As for being supportive while he is in school:
1. I was single for most of my schooling (except the last one, ELT school, which he may or may not attend), but I watched many of my married friends and their stuggles to balance family life with school work. For many of them, trying to carry both loads equally lead to both suffering. "A" school was not that onerous (at least for me), but power school and prototype will take all of everything he can give it and then require some more. Just realize that this is THE highest stress time there will be during his tenure in the Nav, and that things will ease up after school. The old Navy saw that, "It will get better when you get to the fleet," is generally true. Just remember that for all of the long hours he is going to be putting in for the next year or so you and he will be paid great dividends in the future. The lucrative job opportunities that will be available to him when he gets out more than pays for the human cost to you both while he is in. As much as you are able, give him as much time to devote to school as possible. This will allow him to take advantage of good grades (extra schools, earlier advancement possiblities, plum assignments, etc.).
2. After the schooling is all over and he reports to his first sea command, be prepared for another radical world change. At least while he is in school, you both will be able to predict his schedule with a fair amount of accuracy. When he gets to the fleet, all bets are off. Inport or out of port, his schedule is always subject to change at the last minute. That last minute field day (sweeping, mopping, cleaning, etc.) that his chief springs on the division will ruin your Friday night dinner plans a time or two. When he goes on Westpac or on a Med cruise (usually six month deployments) don't forget that the needs of the nation may require him to be gone much longer than originally planned. Trying to plan that pregnancy or brother Ned's wedding so he can be there may be an exercise in futility. Not all is lost, though. The Navy's policy of 30 days of leave are hard to beat in the civilian world. For the birth of my first child, I was able to take a whole month off to be home with my wife and baby.
3. Try to put off starting a family, if possible, for as long as possible (don't be like me and get your first AND second wives pregnant within months of getting married (wasn't my fault, we were using birth control both times). Now, just because 2/3's of my kids were unplanned doesn't mean I love them any less, but the lives of my first wife (I met my second wife many years after getting out) and me would have been much different if we had had the opportunity to wait. If you don't have kids yet, enjoy the peace and quiet and your husband while you can (Currently, my fifteen year-old is in her room watching tv and doing her homework, but my three year-old is running around chasing the cat and dogs). When you do have kids, try to schedule as much alone time with your spouse as the kids and Navy allow.
My thanks to you both again and fair winds and following seas.
