I say we because my husband is the sweetest man in the world and wont make this decision without me.
I'm not sure why, but my gut feeling is that my husband should stay in. I'm not sure if it's because I'm nervous for him to give up a steady paycheck in this economy. Or maybe because the military lifestyle has become our lifestyle and I'm scared of what life is like once we leave it.
I know that separations are horrible but getting 96's for major holidays are great. My husband having 30 days of leave a year to use is great. Not a lot of civilian jobs allow that.
For me, it comes down to my gut. I always try to listen to it and it's very strongly saying reenlist. Which is crazy I know. I mean what wife would chose deployments? Especially when we have a child. I have no idea. I guess I'm nuts.
Maybe it's the high paced life and adventure? I hate moving but the idea of getting to be in different parts of the country is pretty amazing.
Has anyone gone through this and can help us with a decision? I know my husband is struggling because he hates being away from us as much as we hate having him leave. But I know there is a part of him that wants to stay in. Any advice would be awesome.
Maybe one of your husbands was on the fence about reenlisting too and can help with feelings after choosing to reenlist? Or those who were on the fence and got out's feelings as well. I know it all comes down to whats best for us but we could use some experience.

No one knows the best decisions for your family except the two of you! And know that we (squueeee, I can say we because I am apart of it now! yay!) will always support you!
Been there. This time last year. If you want to talk email me or call me. Obviously we went with reenlisting but there was a huge period of in the fence time! It's on my blog too.
We're in the exact same situation right now. I would love for Danny to stay in, but I think he's ready for something new in his life. We'll see...
