My husband is going recruiting this year. Anyone have experience being a recruiter's spouse? I am looking for good resources, advice, etc if you have any! Thanks!

I have known some wives whose spouses were Recruiters and to be honest their marriage made it by the skin of their teeth. It can depend on where he is going to be placed. If in a decent size city then might not be too bad as he won't have to travel much. If in a city where he also covers the surrounding area then harder. There is always going to be long hours, working on weekends and holidays. The only time off is when he takes leave. He will also be under pressure to meet goals each month.

My Husband did recruiting for 3 years. It was rough I must admit Recruiting becomes there life and really have no choice they need to meet their quotas for the month. Which isn't always too easy. But he would go in around 6 AM and not be home till 9 10 at night sometimes even later if he had to take some kids to MEPS. The best thing for me was to treat it like a deployment. Understand going into it its going to be a lot of hours so when it comes to having time with him enjoy it because there wont be much of it. I hope it works out well for you guys

hey there! my fiance is a recruiter and he is CONSTANTLY working. We dont really argue alot but i have heard that recruiting families do have it pretty bad and have one of the highest divorce rates. but i come from a background where my dad works long hours... so with living that lifestyle and only seeing my fiance on the weekends b/c he was in NC and I was in SC, i think that's why it is a little easier for us to deal with.

i haven't been able to meet anyone where i am because i was fortunate enough to keep my job with my dad's company but just work remotely... but it's def. prevented me from meeting new people, plus with there not being a military base in Myrtle Beach, there really aren't any social groups to join... I would rec. getting into something where you can meet people when you have the chance. i start school soon, so i am hoping that'll help!! 

where are you located at?
