Dear, Field Problems:
I keep hearing about all of these financial benefits that we should be taking advantage of while my husband is deployed, but I haven’t got a clue where to find out more information on what they are. Can you help?

Dear, Field Problems:
In my husband’s unit they have a Soldier and Family Readiness Group, and the leader has contacted me about attending meetings and fundraisers. I am a new military spouse, and I don’t know what SFRG is all about. I thought about attending the last meeting she put together, but my husband says he would rather me not participate with the group because of rumors and other issues that he has heard about. Can you tell me more about what SFRG is all about? Should I participate? Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated.

Here are some thoughts from a dear friend. You’d never know that, in 1998, she ran a 3:01:30 at the California International Marathon and took 35th place among the females. At the Marine Corps Marathon in 2005, she helped the Army team take first place in the Armed Forces Team Competition.
Dear, Field Problems:
Something I wanted to address and have you answer for me is “flag etiquette.” I see so many times that our citizens are flying our flag. As proud as I am to see this, I see them tattered and torn, flown at all times and in all types of weather. Are there any rules on how to properly care for them or restrictions on their use? If there is, I thought this would be great advice to share around Flag Day or Independence Day to your readers.

Dear, Field Problems:
I have been married to my husband for eight months. He has been in OSUT the last three months and will be graduating soon. He will be stationed at Fort Stewart, Georgia, right after graduation. and it will be our first duty station.
I am currently living in Illinois. I’d like to get advice or tips on moving (especially your first move) in the Army. I also have some general questions: What do you wish you had known before your first move? Should I go with him or stay here until he gets settled and then move there? Where do I find information on housing and communities in the area?

Dear, Field Problems:
I am expecting my fiancé back next month for his two weeks of R&R. I was interested in hearing topics on ideas for R&R and the best ways to spend time together without it being too overwhelming or underwhelming for that matter.
