Being a "dependant" :military life as a spouse

So I wanted to discuss one of the largest aspects of my life; the military. No, I am not in the military, my husband is. Let me give you a highlight, and many of you out there will know exactly what I am talking about.

1. moved thousands of miles from any form of family
2. forced to make an attempt at new friends; many of which can be more drama than high school
3. strange hours that change constantly because "the command" has a reason
4. can't find a job because in a military community many employers are not willing to put up with the demands of "bring me this", "I need you to take a day off", "I can't take the kid to the doctors appointment" (all from our "sponsors")
5. frequent deployments, some with no notice
6. terrible military funded facilities that our there for "us"
7. being called a "dependant" , I do not depend on any one!
8. Duty days...
9. high divorce rates/stress

Anything you can think of and give you opinion, let me know, because of right now, my schedule revolves around the wonderful Navy that protects us... but also hinders so many. Give your side, your story, let me know. I especially would love to hear the opinions of the good and bad.

My Intro

My name is Cyndi; I currently live in Virginia Beach where I live with my husband whom is in the Navy as an IT. We have a 2 year old son, a 2 year old dog named Baxter, a 2 year old cat named Shadow Monster and have been here about a year. We are originally from Arkansas where we call home. Though I am finishing up my associates degree in Psychology, I can NOT find a job for the life of me that is full time and can pay for day care... I will go on to get my bachelors in secondary education and will be a high school teacher. I am very good at the subject I love; Psychology but unfortunately can't do anything with it till a masters degree. All in all, I am here to discuss things a bit too deep for the world of social networking, I am great at advice and trivia. So please ask away and help me build my blog so I can have a following that cares about the world and troubles that come with the life lessons learned.
