Moving your family during a child’s high school years is hard, no question about it. For many career military families, the latest move may be one of several they’ve faced during their child’s teen years. Some families, especially those with high school juniors or seniors, may decide forcing another move on their teen is not something they’re willing to do again.
Greetings to all, and Happy New Year. Here we are again at the start of another year. Take a few minutes to reflect on 2016 and how it was for you. Whatever the outcome, there’s nothing you can do to change it, but you’re in a better position to reset for 2017 and take a serious look at what may lie ahead to be the best you on your fitness journey.
In the flurry of pre-interview preparation, it’s easy to dismiss the idea of making plans for what comes next. While you’re mid-interview prep, it may seem like there will never be a “next”—for all you know, you could be preparing forever, like some kind of job market Groundhog Day. Though it may seem impossible, there will be a time when your interview is over and you’re waiting to hear back, wondering why the whole process has to take so long.
I think it’s safe to say that no one wants to think about moving over the holiday season. It isn’t the typical PCS season, and we often associate this time of year as the “settling-in months.” Think about it. We’re already into December, and you’re spending your energy doing what? Decorating for Christmas and buying presents? I am!
It’s possible for your dreams to come true; all you have to do is go after them. Do what you can do and control what you can control. The following comments are from Kerri Gallagher who has an impressive resume from the national and international scene.
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.
PCS stress tops the list of military families’ most unavoidable situations. Adding the decision of whether or not to buy a home makes the transition that much more difficult. Finances, emotions, and geography are just a few of the factors that go into making the choice. Couples need open communication as to what their long and short term goals are, so they can commit to a plan that accommodates those goals.
