I have been a SAHM (through three posting with dh) for six years.
I want to do my PGCE and train to be a teacher. I have no career to go back to. I am voluntering in schools at the mo to get experience etc. The course is an intensive 12 months. I cannot consider it without his support here for the children.
Our current posting is close to a University that seems to have a good PGCE course so I want to apply to start Sep 2009 (dd2 starts school in Jan 2010). I have sounded out a local childminder (even though I haven't even applied yet let alone got a place ).
Dh is now saying 'what if I get an OOA or we get posted?'. This would screw things up totally, but by the same token what if he doesn't get an OOA or posted??
I thought he had said he had 2-3 years clear, but he has come home today saying there are another two posts that have been created that his trade/rank cover.
He is now suggesting volunteering to go sooner so it doesn't interfere but I cannot let him do that. We did that once before and he ended up in Kuwait when 9/11 kicked off .
Oh bollocks.
