Loneliness. It is by far one of the strongest and most common emotions shared by military spouses. For a long time, I thought that “being lonely” was just a part of the job. I was serving my country by supporting my husband, and in the end, that just meant being alone was something I would have to learn to live with.
Fort Wainwright is the home of the United States Army Garrison Alaska and units of the United States Army Alaska (USARAK), including the 1st Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division; the USARAK Aviation Task Force; and the Medical Department Activity-Alaska. Fort Wainwright is co-located with the great city of Fairbanks, which is home to more than 50,000 people and provides virtually everything you and your family would enjoy in any other city in America.
Maybe you recently PCS’d, and the idea of bundling your family into a vehicle again gives you hives. Or maybe it isn’t your family’s turn for a PCS this summer, but your budget doesn’t allow for too much travel, your spouse is deployed, or you simply would rather explore more of the area where you’re stationed. Whatever the reason, if your version of a family summer vacation this year means staying put at home, a “staycation,” then make the most of a relaxing week or two while preventing your kids from defaulting into the, “I’m bored!” mode!
All the way! Airborne! Welcome to Fort Bragg, North Carolina, home of the Airborne and Special Operations Forces and one of the largest installations in the country.
With every PCS, there are little moments of excitement. For instance, the stars twinkle a little brighter when you receive the keys to your new house and anticipate the good times at this fresh address. Your imagination swirls with DIY projects to try from your Pinterest boards. Your children jump for joy to freely run around their new backyard and pets are happy to bid farewell to your temporary lodging quarters. As you walk in the front door, you and your military family can look forward to settling in and feeling at home. But first, you have to complete the exit cleaning chores.
How many times have you searched the internet for the perfect training program? How did that work for you?
There are hundreds of programs, and the difficult part is finding one that matches your goals. In order to set your goals, you have to find a purpose. You can assess where you are today and where you want to be tomorrow, and then you determine what it will take to get there.
