Hot Stops Beyond the Fort Bragg Gates

by | Aug 12, 2019 | , ,

Have you recently PCS’d to Fort Bragg? I have a feeling that you might love it! The proximity to North Carolina’s mountain and coastal regions makes this a fantastic place to be stationed. From Fayetteville to Pinehurst, Southern Pines and just a little north to Raleigh, there’s always something fantastic to see.

In just seven short months of living here, we’ve built up a hefty list of incredible museums, coffee shops, restaurants, and more. We’ve been lucky enough to have a steady stream of guests, which helps us get out and explore. These suggestions are taken primarily from these experiences, plus a few extra suggestions from seasoned locals.

Why Do I Run? Part 1

by | Aug 10, 2019 | , ,

Greetings to everyone! Depending on what part of the country you’re from, you could be in the middle of a heatwave. If that’s the case, then just slow down and take it easy.

Speaking of taking it easy…

It’s been two years this month since my mitral heart valve repair, and I am not fully adjusted. I sometimes find myself locked in the past. I’m referring to what I used to do when I should really be focused on what I can do.

The Myth of Fort Marshall

Last month, my mom called me and asked if we could ever be stationed at Fort Marshall. I thought for a minute and told her that there wasn’t a Fort Marshall in the Army and maybe she was confused with an Air Force base.

But I was wrong. Fort Marshall does exist…on the Lifetime television network. She was referring to the fictional base on the 2007 TV show Army Wives.

Study.com: A Military Spouse’s Experience

by | Aug 6, 2019 | , ,

There is a story that resurfaces from time to time in my family. The big punchline is that when I was in grade school, sometime around when report cards were issued, I asked my parents what would happen if I got a B. That about sums me up as a student.

I strive to do well, and as I have grown a bit older, I am quite aware that I am motivated by learning.

Recently, I have had the opportunity to do some learning that I feel was particularly eye-opening and valuable as a military spouse.

My opportunity was to use Study.com for some practice tests, and then work through the site using their available study materials related to the practice tests I had chosen.

Colorado Springs is ranked the nation’s “Most Desirable Place to Live” by U.S. News & World Report for a second straight year.

Not only will you probably love your time in Colorado, but you’ll do things you might never have done before, see things you’ve never seen before, and like many retirees before you, you might not want to leave.
