[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If he agrees to the cushy final assignment, will you agree to go back to work full time after he retires to help with your DD's tuition/loans and make up for his lost pay?  [/quote]

Jeezus, you are an idiot.[/quote]

Why is this person an idiot?  I seem to remember the thread where the DW wanted her husband to reimburse her for lost wages during maternity leave.  That is idiocy.  I think the PP asked a valid and reasonable question.

Not foreign service, but a career military spouse.

I was able to work for my spouse's first two assignments in my field.

After that, his career dictated that we moved every 10 months-2 years.

Very few "career" jobs want to hire someone with that track record.

Now, at the end of my husband's career, I no longer have the education or more importantly, job experience to have any type of meaningful employment that will support our family at the level that he can.  Simply put, his earning power far exceeds anything I can bring in, even under the best of circumstances.

I am sure OP is in a similar boat as many military spouses.[/quote]
