low priced skymaster....

If you have no debt except your mortgage, if you have been saving enough that you can pay off the mortgage (read: responsible), and if you're reasonably certain of steady income after returning from Iraq, then buy the plane. One other thing: when you present the plan to your wife, show her your last message. She needs to know that, for you (and most of us), life isn't life without flight.
