More than just a Milspouse
While scrolling through some reels today on Instagram, I saw a few seconds of a reel where there was a woman reacting to someone who said, “Is being a military souse your whole identity?”

An Open Letter to the National Guard Spouse
Dearest National Guard spouse, I see you.
Your partner is gone and you may have wonderful friends, but none understand what you’re going through. Your kids have a slew of friends and they don’t have to PCS, but they also don’t have friends that understand why their parent is gone. Your family loves you, but they too do not comprehend the feeling of a spouse being away.
Don’t worry, I see you.

What Military Home Buyers Want to See in Your Home Ad
If you’re selling a home near a military installation, you may think that, in light of the continued sellers’ market, all you need to do is clean your home, get it on the market, and voilà!… you’ll be signing closing paperwork. But there’s so much more when it comes to home selling and setting your home listing apart from others! The key is to think like a home buyer and provide the information they’re looking for when home shopping. We took a poll on social media and are sharing a few features military home buyers say they want to see in a property for sale, beyond the basic info like number of bedrooms, baths, garage size, and storage space.
Mistresses of the Military
It began during our first year of marriage, these mistresses. He brought the first one home one night. When I questioned my husband, his reasoning made sense to me, so I said no more.
But she persisted, and soon he was spending more and more time with this “mistress.” I would hear the conversations, and I became increasingly annoyed, and then even angry.
He said it was ending. We had orders to PCS. I remained patient and tried again with him at the following assignment.
But it got worse.
Why Military Families Should Volunteer
There was a time I wanted a career in front of a camera, behind a news desk. That was before I discovered my love of serving military families.
Actually, I had accepted a job as a news anchor in Maine when my life took an unexpected turn toward military support volunteerism. My husband was working on his Ph.D. when the Navy recruited him—to borrow a line from the movies, “it was an offer too good for him to refuse.”
