My wife is seriously considering joining the Navy which I support 100%. My question is how is life as a Military Husband, with 3 kids ?? Most information I come across is for Military Wives ??
There are a few husbands here on the boards. Largely it is the same as being a wife, with a few exceptions. Hopefully one of them will post for you.

Everything becomes a little clearer, I realize what life is all about. It's hangin' on when your heart has had enough, It's giving more when you feel like giving up. ~ In My Daughter's Eyes, Martina McBride
Having 3 kids, that means 4 dependents (spouse is considered a dependent), so unless she has a Bachelor's and is going in as an Officer or going into the Reserves, she will not enlist in the Navy. The limit is usually 2 dependents and there is a possibility of 3 with a waiver, 4 definitely not.
Actually I know another seabee (navy) wife who's husband is just finishing A school. They have three children, one of which is autistic and on EFMP. He just had to get a waiver, and that's what your wife will have to do.
One child is mine from a previous marriage who lives with her mother in Florida. I have legal custody of her, but she does lives in FL with her mother (long story, but everything is ok).
I am ex Army myself and have family in the Army and Army, Navy retired. But they are all men. They cant really help me as far as being the male spouse. I did speak to my aunt who was an Army wife, but experiences was son long ago I am sure some things have upgraded since her time.
