My Husband Research Paper

After the events of September 11, 2001, my dad was recalled to the military to serve twelve months in Djibouti, Africa. Upon his return, he made the choice to return to the Army, and we were sent to Colorado. In the years that followed, my family was

 We have been in Oregon for three years. Before that we were in WA near JBLM, (Joint Base Lewis-McChord). My family for generations have served in the Military all branches. Some  of my family is there and are serving. I have more family serving and currently deployed.

My Family will be relocating to Lubbock TX this summer, due to my wife being a Registered Nurse and getting a job there. My family has followed me around during my military career and now I will like to show them and her the same support by now following her. The military life with a family is a hard one, not one that I wish on anyone and my wife has endured that. I would like to see her succeed as I have and I owe her and many others many, many thanks.

The biggest challenge we face is finding harmony amongst our military obligations, our family obligations, military and civilian education, as well as mandatory training and operational deployments. Your family has to be your first priority. If you don’t get this right, nothing else will work well in your

The military lifestyle is simply one of a kind. Our military places enormous stress not only on each of its members, but on each of their families as well. Long periods of separation, lengthy training, and combat deployments affect those in the battlefield and their loved ones at home. Our military has changed forever after the infamous terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. With continuous, hateful threats from our enemies, the demands placed upon our service members have become even more pronounced. Tours have become longer and more frequent. Marriages to military members are constantly burdened with these conflicts. Despite these increased hardships with recent conflict in Afghanistan and Iraq, military marriages are becoming more resilient and are more likely to prevail.

These problems and challenges listed above are not experienced by all military families, many of the families are able to adapt well. Military families and children have a great capacity for adaption and resilience. In the military resilience is very important in all stages of deployment, it helps lessen the stress and improve the capability to adjust. About 74% of children become closer to friends and family. The children also become more responsible, and independent. When families function positively they find a meaning in military life and are able to accept the work of the soldier; this helps the morale of the soldier, as well as the ability to carry out the given mission. The strength of most military families can be a source of pride and inspiration for many non-military members.

My experience with military based relocation has been very minimal. My family moved from Cherry Point down to Beaufort, SC and after three years we moved back to Cherry Point. While living in South Carolina I made lots of new friends, but I did miss many of my old friends. At first, it was uncomfortable to talk with new people, but something that was definitely helpful was that there were kids who have gone through the same experiences like me. Once I found people who have gone through what I was feeling- the initial shyness, the awkward first weeks, and the desire to gain a sense of normal again- it made the initial weeks much easier to deal with. By joining this group I was able to get through the initial weeks and was able to gain a

from the service member. Due to the high cost of moving, as well as the inability of unmarried service members of low rank to live off-base, it makes more financial sense to marry. Once married the military then pays for spouse and family relocation, therefore when a permanent change of duty station is imminent tying the knot can seem prudent to a couple that is unwilling to separate. According to Lundquist and Xu, both warzone deployments and permanent changes of duty station can heavily impact a couple’s decision to marry (Lundquist). Both of these situations are common and frequent in the military, unlike in the civilian sector, and likely have a significant impact on marriage rates.

For many decades, even centuries women have been fighting for equal rights and opportunities men have. The Equal Rights Amendment was introduced in 1923, but wasn’t ratified until 1972. Why did it take 49 years to pass an amendment that gives women equal opportunities? Wait. Why do we even need an amendment to tell us that we have now can get a job that only men do. Our equal right should be something that’s given not something that’s has to be earned, but if women equal rights weren’t written on paper advantage would be taken. The main issue facing women is fighting for their equal rights and opportunities.

Being in a military family is very hard when it comes to moving, after knowing friends for a certain amount of time and having to start all over. My next three years of my life were spent in Japan and this was very different from the United States, if not already obvious enough. I had to begin learning the language of the land, which was quite difficult having been so young. I had

In order to fully tell what influence the church has had on me, I first need to start with my Grandparents. My Mom’s Father (Rev. Charles Martindale) is a Pastor who has preached at many different United Brethren, Evangelical United Brethren, and Union Churches. His brother (Rev. Marty Martindale) is also a pastor and I have had the pleasure of sitting with both of them and discussing their views on different Bible verses over the years. Charles Martindale married Virginia right after graduating from seminary. They live in Ohio and have 6 children (Charity, Charles, Paul, Peter, Laura “my mom”, and Jane). Marty also moved to Ohio where he also preached as he was raising his children. The Martindales’ are very strong believers in the importance

It may seem irrational to move halfway around the world, but it was probably one of the best decisions my parents have made. It was the best experience of my life. Even though I loved living on Guam, it was hard on my mom. Working for the military is not a stress free job. The military is very strict and rule oriented. When someone joins any branch of the military he or she make a commitment stating that if he or she are needed he or she will be deployed. Deployment is when someone is sent to aid in a war effort. Luckily, my mother was never deployed, but it was a commitment my mother was willing to make.

In 2010, my family moved to Derby, Kansas, a quaint town outside of McConnell Air Force Base. My stepdad was transferred there, and with only a few years left until his enlistment was up, we started to think we were going to be in Derby forever. However, a year later, the United States Air Force had honorably discharged him, and with a job lined up in Roanoke, Virginia, we began making plans to move again. The start date for my stepdad’s new job was two days after my baby brother was born, so he left with the rest of my family joining him two months later. My stepdad leaving the military was an eye-opener for my family, but it brought us closer and forced us to work harder to continue life the way we knew it.

I have met many people so far in this life, but the person I enjoy remembering the most is my husband Jeff. He was born and raised in Tennessee. He is six feet tall, weighs two hundred sixty seven pounds,he has dark brown eyes, and such a nice smile. His hair is jet black with just a few silver and white strands throughout. He is a very big and strong character of a man. And yet he is the most gentle, kind and caring man that I have ever met. Jeff has a sexy southern drawl to his voice. The one person who has influenced my life greatly is my husband, the first reason being because of his positive attitude, his intelligence, and the way he expresses his love.
