Mission: Milspouse originally began as Army Wife Network founded in April 2009. At that time, it joined together what was previously known as Army Wife Talk Radio (est. 2005), Field Problems, and Loving A Soldier blog.
In the last 19 years, our following has drastically expanded to also serve and support those connected to the military, including male spouses, mothers, fathers, children, friends, veterans, service members, and military-related nonprofits. The resources we provided soon bloomed to serve all military spouses of all branches and all components.
As a result of this growth, Army Wife Network fully rebranded to become Mission: Milspouse in January 2023. Now we are a fully-vetted 501(c)3 non-profit organization!
What We Offer
Our all-volunteer Band of Bloggers brings our followers fresh content almost daily, with topics that include PCS, deployment, parenting, finances, solidarity, humor, milspouse experiences, expert advice, and more. With more than 2,700 blog posts, there is something for everyone.
Our podcast is the longest-running podcast of its kind, now in its 19th year of broadcasting. We drop two podcast episodes per week: Monday features an hour-long show including an interview with an empowering guest, and Thursday episodes are about 15 minutes, with insight from our Command Team.
If you are looking for empowerment in your inbox, THE SITREP” newsletter is where it’s at! Sent only twice per month, THE SITREP keeps you in the need-to-know loop of military life happenings, as well as encouragement, partner spotlights, and the freebies… just because you deserve it!
Add some strategy to your time online and connect with us on social media! We have a presence on Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter, and LinkedIn. We share information, graphics, and other helpful links on the daily. Plus, our Command Team is always on the lookout to bring you some great reels! Find us @missionmilspouse.
If you or someone you know needs a milspouse pick-me-up, our empowerment program is ready to do battle on their behalf. Nominate someone for “Everyday Empowerment.” Winners receive IRL recognition, a mention on our podcast, and an end-of-the-month photo appearance on a social media reel.
We are here to elevate other milspouse organizations, milspouse authors, and partners who have a message to share with our community. Mission: Milspouse invites you to collaborate with us by becoming a podcast guest, volunteering as a blogger, or contributing as an individual, small veteran/milspouse-owned business, or corporation.

Our Logo
Primary Colors (Red, Blue, and Yellow): In military life, the military spouse may feel “secondary” or as an afterthought. But here at Mission: Milspouse, the military spouse is our primary focus.
Chevrons, star, and double bars (Beside “Milspouse”): These symbols represent the service member ranks of the spouses we support… From junior enlisted, senior enlisted, company grade officers, field grade officers, general officers, and warrant officers, we support spouses of all service member ranks and experiences.
Large red “S”: Military spouses often serve behind the scenes, but we are here to help them stand out and be proud of what they bring by supporting our service members. We see you, military spouse—supporting your service member and the mission.
Heart Semicolon:
Military life may feel like a “hard stop” sometimes as we “hurry up and wait,” but the love for our service members helps us embrace that pause while also remaining ever-ready to move forward again when the time (finally!) comes.
Rope:
The rope represents the strength of the military spouse tribe; when more than one strand is woven together through trial, adversity, and subsequent triumph, that cord becomes stronger and stronger, not easily broken.
Circle:
The circle is the continuation of all generations of military spouses, past, present, and future. The circular pattern also mimics the crests of ALL branches and components, which is who we are here to serve: Army, Air Force, Navy, Marines, Coast Guard, Space Force, Active Duty, National Guard, Reserve, Retired, and Prior Service.
