Deployment During the Holidays: Part 1
In the 13 years I've been with my service member, we've spent approximately six years of that time separated because of his military duty—whether it was for deployments, training, or simply hectic work schedules—and plenty of experience with deployment during the...
On the 10th Week of Deployment, Murphy Gave to Me…
left on Christmas Day.
My 6-year-old has had three Christmases where Daddy was either going or gone. I know we aren’t alone in that situation, but the logic of “other people are dealing with it too” is often lost on children when all they really want in front of the fireplace on Christmas morning is their deployed parent.
My Christmas Meaning: A Milspouse Poem
I am no Emily Dickinson. Definitely not even close to Robert Frost. And even though I might add a “-th” to random words and say “thou” or “thee” on occasion (just because I can), I will never be a great playwright or poet like William Shakespeare.

This won’t be winning any poetry awards anytime soon, but if I have fun writing it (and you get just a tiny bit of enjoyment out of reading it), then I vote yes.

Gallagher is a 2011 graduate from Fordham University. While attending, she won four Atlantic 10 titles, won the Hobbes family award as the top female student-athlete, achieved ESPN The Magazine All-District Honors, set six school records, set two Atlantic 10 records, was a five-time team MVP, and will be inducted in Fordham’s Athletic Hall of Fame in 2017.

Each year it seems like a difficult decision comes up: Do we go home for the holidays or not?
For some, this may be a topic that isn’t relevant. For others, it may be based on their current situation, i.e. deployment. Then there’s the other group.
This group, while the decision may still be discussed, will choose to spend the holidays their own way.
Humorous Holiday Hacks: Round #3
It’s the most wonderful time of the year, not just because the holidays make us feel all warm, fuzzy, and snuggly and give us the perfect excuse to eat #AllTheThings, but because I have a new reason to create yet another “batch” of humorous holiday hacks.
These hacks are tips and tricks that, while entertaining, may or may not make your holiday season easier. (But hey, if it puts a smile on your face, that’s something, right?)
