Through high school, I have been more exposed to the "army life" with my involvement in JROTC. I've found it as interesting and a possible career path with me. I want to major in International Affairs at North Georgia and also minor or double major in Arabic. I am currently considering trying to be in Military Intelligence afterward, but I also want a family. I know I want be on the front lines, but I wonder if government work still puts a strain on families and their relationships n matter how close they live. This made me wonder, what are the hardships and differences that army families have than regular families. I know that with a parent in the army, kids can be greatly impacted and so can marriages. The fear of death can also be a problem when you're loved one is on the front lines and as some people have dreaded that knock on their door, it has decided to come anyway.
Some spouses may both be in the army and I wonder what happens to the kids. Do they grow up with their parents getting shipped in and out of their lives, or does one of them have to settle down. I want to see a little of what is the Army's policy, by showing the effect these policies may have on a family. Families might also have their own policies.
The person going into the army may have problems coping with war as well, which puts a strain on human communication, when other people don't understand. I want to see the actual effects and more in depth details on certain people's situations. I also want to know how people try to manage the problems and the stress. Military people don't always have to be on the front lines, but they might get stationed in different places, taking their family with them. The kids have to start over, as does the spouse. When does trying to make it work not work and what happens when you're left with no one, who was taken away by something they so aspired to defeat?
