Military marriage and travel?
Sorry, but you're stuck. Temporary ignments (generally 6-12 months) are considered unaccompanied and dependents cannot travel with the military member. Also she might get deployments that can last up to 15 months and those are absolutely 100% no accompaniments. It's unfortunate but true and all of us military spouses have to endure the many months alone. The only chance you might have of getting to go with her for any TDSs (temporary duty stations) is to get to know her commanding officers and to not have any children for a while. A friend of mine got to go with her husband to Korea for a 1 year "unaccompanied" tour because she was very kind about it and it was only her that would be going. The Air Force even paid for it. I hope it all goes well!
