Hi all,
I'm a long time wannabe royal marine who's to old to join the regulars but can still just about go for the reserves. Well try out at least!
From lurking on here for a while, going to the AFCO and visiting the local det(Rosyth) I've gained a lot of info.
However there's never been that much said about how families cope with the reality of being in the rm and to be fair I've not asked. (although if there is on rr and I'm not looking in the right place please let me know).
I have a young son at primary school and a baby girl who I look after full time. My wife is supportive of my wish to join up but wants me to be very careful about how this would impact our family.
How have others handled the issues surrounding joining up with their families?
Apologies for the long post, I wasn't sure how to cut this down.
Thanks in advance, LL
