Well "Sim",there is a old saying that I've seen come to pass more than I cared to.
"Opportunity only knocks once"
I'm sure there are some of us that are sympathetic and some of us that are just shaking our heads.
If relocation is a concern, you can expect a lot of that if you are career minded (Promotion etc.). Because
in any Profession, if you want to go some where, you usually have to go some where.
If separation is a concern, boy you have a lot to learn about LEO's shift work and hours.
If harm or safety is a concern, boy have you chose the wrong profession, when you go out that door every day
from your nice neat little bungalow, there's a good chance you won't be coming back, because of a Routine
Traffic Stop that went bad.
With regard to the CAF, a thought to bear in mind, if were not for young Men and their good Wives and Children who were and are willing to make these sacrifices (sometimes begrudgingly), where would we be, I'll leave your thoughts on that to your imagination.
When you think about it the Military and LEO's share a great many things in commen, Self Sacrifice, Loyalty and Duty. All of these come at a price, sometimes they interfere with Domestic Bliss.
It might be a good thing, if you discussed completely the nature of Police work with your wife and obtain her
complete consent. Military Wives and Police Wives share and face, much the very same circumstances.
