Should you be afraid of getting Military orders cut?

I remember when getting any type of orders cut in the Military was sort of a joyous day these orders could include barking upon a new duty station which is called a PCS it could be orders to deploy to another Country which was a rush of anticipation and fear or simply orders allowing you to wear your combat patch and decorations. In July,2011 I thought that I was getting the best orders of my life I had the other orders now it was my time to receive the best orders so that I could stay at home with my two month old child yes ETS orders these orders mean that you have completed you first half of you obligation the struggle that some can not accomplish when the task at hand is so simple many get thrown out right on the hands they did there push ups on because they could not follow the rules and regulations so by July,2011 I had did the best that I could do and it was my time yes my time to trade in the rucksack for a diaper bag any recall formations for a simple 0900 to 1700 job and college classes I trusted my spouse to keep our child as I cleared the Military housing and other post offices if anybody has ever PCS or ETS you know the pain of the moving and packing its no place for an infant. So I left my trust in my husband. But little did I know that these set of orders would be the worst set I've ever received and that fulfilling the short two moths let on my Military contract would lead to the fight of my life I found getting attacked by rockets are easier than getting custody of my own child back after only two months of tyring to finish my contract. When will our uniform get justice when will our service be valued

Reunions and Nightmares

To serve our country is such an honor such a great feeling when you get up in the morning knowing that you help protect your family friends and fellow Americans. The feeling of being a soldier is like no other im not sexiest or anything but I feel military mothers have it pretty rough rather it be that the mom is married but seperated, single or just going through the simple twist and turns of soldiering. A mother gives up alot to serve among the ranks when a female soldiers first enters the military and if she is single she has to find some one to sign custody of her children over to be fit for the position which will include 24hr duties,field excercises thirty days or more and the big bang the deployments. I understand this completly but we as female soldiers have to go through so much to get the child back after this process often I've heard so much ignorance about female soldiers and families i.e. If the army wanted you to have a family they would have issued you one now who says crap like this to any soldier male or female. I'm still not sure on how to excercise our rights as military members dealing with custody the service members acts please courts dont listen to this. The courts dont care you have to put you job before you child and or children and we protect those judges,masters,court clerks etc and this is thanks we get basicly the boot's we serve with we get kicked right off the door step in which we left out children.
