What do you do with a general, when he stops being a general?

Throw him a party at the Columbia Inn in Vermont.\nMake it a secert, but be careful that a busy body doesn't overhear you and get confused about your motive.

Ignore him. He might stop after a while.

What does he want to do in the CG?  The CG is small and specific billets (jobs) in specific locations are not as numerous as in the Marines.   There is always a trade off between location and duty.  Go to USCG.mil to search unit locations.  Contrary to general perceptions in and out of the CG, the service is sea-going.  High endurance cutters spend 6-7 months/year away from home port.  Medium endurance cutters usually sail 30-40 days at a time.  Of course small cutters and patrol craft are underway much less.  Being assigned to a small boat station is much like being a fireman.  A 1 out of 3 day duty rotation is normal.  CG 110 ft patrol boats may sail four days a week and when in-port, the crew is on immediate recall.  There are many support positions available in medium to large bases.  Your husband may be interested in aviation.  If he is involved in rotary wing aircraft, he may end up at sea on a medium or high endurance cutter.\n\nCons - Formal training is not as abundant as offered by DOD.  CG relies on on-the-job experience.  Support services are limited.  Only large bases have exchanges or commissaries.  Most units have no more than a garage size building for typical exchange services.  Gov't housing is limited or non-existant.  Usually not a problem because DOD bases are within short distances.  The CG is not the Marines.  We're sailors and we act like sailors.  Spit and polish appears only at inspections.  I wore greasy shirts, unshined boots, and unofficial clothing. A Marine may take time to get use to the culture shock.. The CG is not as well funded as the Marines.  The CG budget could not pay for half of an aircraft carrier.  Don't expect new stuff or state of the art equipment.  Advancement is diferent.  As one is promoted, opportunities become rarer.  The CG is smaller than the NYC police dept.  There may be only one E-7 at a unit.  Choices become restrictive.\n\nPros -  CG is small.  Leadership opportunities come fast and often.  Senior enlisted and Warrant Officers can be commanding officers.  Most units have infrequent contact with commissioned officers.  Petty officers are expected to take the inititive and function independantly.  In other words, you do your job and you are left alone.  CG and the public have a closer relationship than DOD units.  The CG does not hide behind typical "military" fences.  You actually get to interact with the taxpayer.  Because of the small size, officers and enlisted have closer working relationships.  The CG does not have a regimental organization like the Marines or the Army.  Its more similar to Customs.  The CG started as sea-going Customs, which is why the flag is similar to the Custom's flag.  \n\nVisit Military.com to browse the CG blogs.  Go to a local CG station and spend the day with them.  The CO can be talked into a boat ride.  I've been out of sixteen years, but I would be glad to help in his decision.

Have his beach det admin office send you a copy of his deployment orders. This may be a bit difficult if you don't have a power of attorney from him though.

If you say you've move on move on, and stop moving back.  Don't let this guy reck a good thing for you.  Unless you are glutton for punishment.

Then you have two choices.\n\n1. Be quiet and let him make every decision for a while. He will either step up or not.\n\n2. Leave him for a man who will tell you what to do.

Well he never really has success with businesses, so I don't think he will do that.  I think he will mostly retire.  He might continue to be involved with foreign relations and investments, like his father has done.  I do see him taking up some causes.

Be supportive and understanding. He's not on a vacation. Patience is key and there will be times you'll want to speak with him and maybe he won't be able to give you the time you desire.Make what time you do have to speak with him quality time and don't expect quantity time then when you get it, it's a pleasant suprise.Try not to worry him over things he can't control while away. Handle as much as possible on your own. Being with someone in the military is different than other relationships. You play a very important role. You hold down the fort while he has to be gone...I wish you both the best...

if hes found he could get in trouble not severe though. i used to work in the brig at camp pendleton and escorted awol detainees.\nit all depends on what he's done with himself since he went ua\nup until the 4th week hes not awol yet. ask yourself these questions 1 how long has he been in service? if less than a year,cannot conform to military lifestyle. my advice is tell him to lay low stay away from any thing to do with trouble, because the way the military works now is that they use your social security number to find you mostly by a police stoppage. about employment employers do not have the clearance to check military records unless its a gov job,local city state or federal.he dosent even have to claim a veteran status.tell him to stay out of trouble and get a job fast,there is a discharge called a good of service discharge,it works like this, if he gets employment to care for family and has not been a slacker ,if found it is possible to get time served and a good of service discharge.if there are family problems that he just had to take care of he could get an admin separation.  bottom line is the longer hes away the better it will be for him if they do find him.

It may be over for you, but it may not be over for him. Hard to give a good answer with minimal information.

Clarify immediately in a very balanced tone and after the conversation is over, pull him aside, talk to him about it and openly express your concerns. Do not allow this to continue for your own good.
