As milspouses, we may struggle with our own career and education goals as we simultaneously run our households and support our service members’ careers. But thankfully, you don’t have to put all your goals and dreams on hold.
Here at Mission: Milspouse, we want to give you the tools to make your dreams happen. From resume tips, to programs geared toward new career paths for spouses, our Career and Education category has you covered.
We have a cadre of bloggers who share their insights on job search, resume writing, different career choices for spouses, and tons of other resources ready to land you that career that moves with you.
Gone are the days when you can type up a resume, submit it to a job posting online or hand it to a recruiter at a hiring fair, and know that your work is done.
Now, if you want to be competitive in the job market, you need a self-marketing plan that includes your resume and a well-crafted LinkedIn profile.
These tools are the two most common ways a recruiter or hiring manager will get to know the professional you and understand the value you can add to their organization.
Shopping for back-to-school supplies isn’t the way it used to be, that’s for sure. Yes, some schools still send home sheets of specific items for your child’s use, but other methods are showing up too.
Believe it or not, they might even be easier than shopping for an itemized list of 25 things.

Whether you’re a veteran who has just started a new civilian job or a military spouse trying to maintain a career despite yet another PCS, sometimes it feels like all of your challenges boil down to one: Keep all the plates spinning (and in the air).
It seems like it should be enough, this focus on sustaining what you already have. There’s a cyclical quality to it that’s almost hypnotic (or maybe you’re just really that tired).
Dear milspouse who is also a student…
I know your struggle, because until just a few months ago, I was that spouse. I couldn’t move with my husband when he came to a new duty station because I was in school. I couldn’t visit because I couldn’t miss any more classroom time.
These were the words that popped up on my email notifications first thing last Monday morning. I rubbed my eyes, sat up, and clicked on the email to read further. A few weeks before I had applied to graduate school and apparently I was accepted…with caution.
A million thoughts ran through my mind, most of them centering around the fact that this was about to get real, real fast. But one question kept nagging me: Why did they put “with caution” in the subject line? What did that mean?
