Stay with him
Many army wives do opt to stay out of their husband's way while they study but this doesn't have to be the case always. Make sure you are with him giving him your shoulder to rely on when he is tired and fed up of his study routine. When you feel its time for him to carry on, on his own, make sure you don't leave a chaos behind. Leave in good loving terms and do not expect him to make a call every three hours to make you feel secure.
Make your own circle of support
Make sure that you have a few friends around you too. Despite being there for your husband, you would need a place to vent out your own frustrations and hopes.
