Best advice for a single parent in the Infantry? I can't be the only one out there.

I was a single parent later in my career SGT(P) (Join to see)>
1. Do your best to love your child/children.
2. Talk respectfully about your ex-spouse whether alive or dead. This will help your daughter as she grows up in more ways than we can possibly know.
3. Try to fulfil your promises to your child and ask for forgiveness when you screw up.
4. Develop habits or firmly establish ones such as reading to your child in the evening before bed time.
5. Try to be consistent in as many areas as possible - this will help your child to feel that she is in a stable home.

I count not imagine being a single parent and being an 11B, that's just crazy, good luck. I have seen some other Soldiers that worked as administrators and supply that their leadership made it possible for them to get off work every day by 1600 to accommodate and in one instance, I've seen them give them the option to do PT on their own. I don't ever see that happening to a grunt on the line.

She's beautiful, so carry a gun!
Wasn't in the infantry, but I wish you the best of luck!
