The 35-mile drive to the gate at Fort Irwin, CA seemed to take forever. As we passed painted rock and the infamous Coyote, the realization that we were in the middle of nowhere, and this was my FIRST duty station as an Army spouse, hit like a ton of rocks (pun intended).
April is the month of the military child. Although, I don’t know what that really means, it is nice to stop and think about our lives.
When military families decide to have children, it is a wonderful, joyous occasion just like civilian life, except there are a few tweaks we must consider.
Fort Lee is located in Prince George County, Virginia, south of Richmond. It is the home of the United States Army Quartermaster school, the Army Ordnance school, the Combined Arms Support Command, and the Army Transportation school, among other things. It’s a location that offers four seasons, short drives to mountains and beaches, and plenty of historical cities and towns.
For the first time in my nearly two decades as a military spouse, deployment means something different to me.
Howdy y’all and buckle up for this weeks news 6 update for April 10th, 2023.
