Hi there,
Thanks for your question.
The lifestyle of the Army is great, it is a very close knit team who work hard and play hard equally.
I cannot really comment on how it would suit you as a mother as it really depends on the role you decided to do, and the support network you have to assist you. There will be the requirement to go away on exercises and operations and so you would need a robust childcare plan to ensure your children are looked after when you are away with work.
As a mother of two, I would say that it is manageable but takes organisation, forward planning, and the support of friends and family.
If you have any more questions please feel free to ask.
