Giving birth to a child and selection have a lot in common. (Effort, pain, devotion, long-term commitment . . . shush ladies I'm navigating at night here. . . )
Your Reason For Living may be reluctant to support your dream right now because she is in the middle of Phase One of her/your dream. Are you as "there for" her -- right now -- as you are asking her to be" there for" you once you enter the pipeline?
Can you see how she might not quite see it that way as she tries to see your point over her swollen tummy?
Timing is a big part of life. It might be that now is not your time for SF. You may want to reconsider your family schedule. Baby now, SFAS in 3 years.

Dozer is right on target,makes a lot of sense............ But what also is extremely important is that she and you are totally committed to your marriage..... Equally important is that both of you want you to earn that Green Beret........ Read post #27 so I'm not repeating myself.......... Good luck on your new baby,I've got 4,all born while I was on AD.......... We have 52 years together so far and with God's grace we'll have several more...........De Oppresso Liber.

Most others I know in SF experienced something similar. If, as you say, you HAVE searched and read, and you do not KNOW if this is the path for you --- it is not....
