Short term sacrifice for long term gain. I spent 25 years in the Army trying for the warrant officer flight training. For a multitude of reasons, I wasn't successful, but it didn't preclude me from attaining my certificate.

Noteworthy for me are the compromises and sacrifices I made to wife and family to ensure "win-win" for my family. If your wife does her due diligence to find the appropriate location to maximize her career skills, together you both can achieve your career goals. Understanding, in my opinion, it's much easier to achieve yours in the aviation arena than hers in the avocation of her choice, there is still a win-win you're both capable of achieving. It shouldn't involve sacrifice but compromise.

Yes, there is life after the military. . .and life is good!
