Re: Joining the Army
I see bunnyhoney,
I dont think you as his wife will have to abandon your passports. From your info I think this is some special program initiated by HIT and sinc ethey will be offering some high quality specialized training for 18 mths and bearing the costs for this professional course, they would require signing of the 6 yr contract as you mention.
Witht this setup it seems he's being recruited as a civilain.
When you get more details abt the program and the selection process/stream etc do pls share with us.
Best luck to your husband and you!
