Four deployments in four years and what they taught me
There are plenty of deployment stories that focus on a military spouse’s resiliency. Stories that recount how spouses overcame everything that Murphy’s law threw their way during deployments, and then fast forward to the sparkly Homecoming photos.
Help; When Needed
There’s an epidemic in the military community, one in need of help.
10 Things to Know Before You Marry a Service Member
There are plenty of inconveniences about this life, and God forbid, I complain about them. Typically, every military spouse has heard, “Well, you knew what you were getting into…” at least once. But who really knows everything that lies ahead when you marry a service member?

November is usually the time of year when people consider all that they have to be thankful for.

Get Acquainted with Angie
Have you ever had a caricature of yourself made? I’ve had two caricatures so far in my life and think they’re so fun with the little details the artists pick up on.
The second one still hangs in my best friend’s parents’ home since we are both in the drawing. Actually, we are identical in the drawing, except the artist gave me sideburns. There’s a detail, all right. Wow. Let’s chalk it up to that it was windy and my hair may have been a mess!

EYB: Camp Merrill in Dahlonega, Georgia
We here at Army Wife Network want to take some of the guesswork out of the need-to-knows about duty stations around the globe. Hence, our Post with the Most series. In this particular blog, we will be showcasing information related to Camp Merrill in Dahlonega, Georgia.
The 5th Ranger Training Battalion at Camp Merrill is a unique duty station. It is located in the mountains of North Georgia near the small mountain town of Dahlonega. This duty station is where the Mountain Phase (second phase) of Ranger School takes place and is home to a single battalion.
Thus, it is referred to as a “remote” duty station since it isn’t necessarily a “full” military post. Many families who live here would describe it as living a (sort-of) civilian lifestyle on an intense Army schedule, especially for the Ranger instructors.
