Good afternoon, this is day two in my jorney here at Christian Forums, and I already feel very welcome, and I am glad that I found this site
Enough blabeling, here is what I am trying to find guidance on and the more prayer and opinions would be very helpful; At the present time I am a chaplain assistant in the Navy, and I have been for about 2 years, I like it, even though it's more paper work than spiritual work, and I was hoping that it would be vise versa. Well about a year ago, and after a very long period of prayer and thinking (almost another year), it finally came to me like a brick wall to change my "job" to be a little more active in protecting our great country, and that was to be part of the security forces(military police). Well now with the worldly conditions being unstable, I am being faced with a challenge once again. With this change of jobs, I am going to be sent to the Mid-East region of the globe, which is fine by me, the only thing is that the wife and children will be staying here in the States. Now, don't get me wrong, I joined knowing full well that if I need to sacrifice my life to save a fellow Sailor, Marine, Soldier or Airman, I would without hesistation. But at least 1-2 years away from family is going to be hard. My wife on the other hand would like to see me let my enlistment end and we could just move back home. I am having a tough time sorting through all of the emotions running through me right now and would like some help/suggestion/oppinions.
Thank you (in advance)
