I'm a US Navy wife too, 33, with two kids ages one and three (for now). We have not lived in the same zip/postal code for more than a year at a time, and I'm finding it frustrating to even get the applications going. I quit my job as a clinic manager to follow my husband and haven't worked in four years.
My ultimate goal is work in Bioanthropology, but I can't up and move to the universities at this point...we spend enough time apart. So I'm considering an online (I know) masters in medical anthro at Creighton for the time being. I don't really see any other viable option at this point, I just really don't want to waste my time or money. Is it just wrong to do a degree that is "the next best thing"? I can't decide. I figure at least it would help me fill in the gaps in my résumé.
