As we begin 2011, I want to start by wishing all my fellow military spouses a very happy new year. I hope 2011 brings you all the best. My new year has started off well. I have gotten myself organized and geared up for the year, but change is on the horizon.
Toward the end of 2010, my husband found out he would be going to recruiting school.
Dear, Field Problems:
I have always wanted to know more about the commissary. Do they do special orders? What is the deal with the surcharge? How do they set their prices and why do they change? Can you tell me more about how it all works?

Veterans Day is Nov. 11, and it’s much more than a four-day weekend!
Veterans Day, formerly known as Armistice Day, was originally set as a U.S. legal holiday to honor the end of World War I, which officially took place on Nov. 11, 1918. In 1954, though, after having been through both World War II and the Korean War, the 83rd U.S. Congress amended the Act by striking out the word “Armistice” and inserting the word “Veterans.”
I was driving on post today in my usual rush-rush and turned down the street toward my house. All of a sudden, I was taken back to two years ago when we drove down that street for the first time, when the houses were all mysterious, and I didn’t know where we would live.
Dear, Field Problems:
Why aren’t there any real resources for military parents? There is an assumption that we don’t want to know information or that we don’t care. We are not sure which. Do you know of any resources to help us out?

Dear, Field Problems:
I’ve seen quite a few conversations about Space A military travel on your website, but I’m still very confused. Where do I start? Is there anything that is a “must know?” Any advice you can provide would be very helpful. I’m completely overwhelmed.
