    Hello and thank you for your question.

    I think all you can do is be honest with her and try and find a way that it works for you all. Find out what her concerns would be and talk through them so she feels reassured it could work for you all. You may find our Myth Busting YouTube series helpful - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLT7MnaHh-LAmfg35a5aciXIFL_2GJfz5Q - it answers lots of questions about what to expect in the Army and the support offered for families.

    Please let me know if you have any further questions
