Ladies & Gentlemen-
Looking for a little advice...I am a former nuke machinist mate with two deployments on a carrier. I personally loved the carrier when I was single but understand how it might pose problems to those with family.
My situation has since changed as I am now a SNFO through the STA-21 program trying to decide on a platform. I personally want jets, but my new spouse is convinced (mostly by other spouses and hearsay) that P-3's or other land based ops are better for the family life.
I am personally driven to want to do my best and excel in a platform like Growlers or Hornets, but how can I convince my wife likewise? Looking for some advice from the married folk who have been through workups/deployments as a jet NFO.
Thanks
