Oh… Military Life! This is likely what brought you to Mission: Milspouse in the first place. It is what binds the military community together with its wildly unique lifestyle.
Whether you are here to learn how to better live in this military life, how to support a loved one who is living the military lifestyle, or to see if this lifestyle is something you may like to be a part of, you have come to the right place.
Here at Mission: Milispouse the military lifestyle is what inspires us, drives our home lives, our moves, and our service member’s career, and gives us a camaraderie like no other. So welcome friend, take a seat and read more about all things that make us who we are and make the military lifestyle a life like no other!
A hug. A kiss. A hello or a goodbye. A smile across the room. A wink. A loving pat. A snuggle or a cuddle. Watching a movie together. Sleeping in on Sunday. Doing a project together. These are all things that are taken for granted on a daily basis when couples are together, but when they’re apart, they become the things that are missed the most.
The Army is no stranger to the volunteer workforce. At some point in your military “career,” you either volunteer or get “volun-told,” as the Army likes to call it, to do something, but what if you’re the leader of volunteers? What can you do to make sure they feel appreciated? What can you do to recognize their contributions? Here are 52 fabulously fun and creative ways to recognize your volunteers all year long. They’re so easy to do, and the rewards are two-fold. You’ll have more productive and happier volunteers just because you took the time to say “thanks.”
I was given this really good piece of advice from a very intelligent, fun-loving, inspiring woman I know. She is a woman I deeply respect for her energy and honesty, but mostly, because she is “real.” She happens to be the wife of an Army general.
This past week, I decided to start a spouse coffee for the Captain’s Career Course.
But, let me back up a second.
My husband brought us here to Fort Sill, Oklahoma, to be an instructor for the Field Artillery CCC. To make sense of the situation for you, I will explain.
I have to say, one of things during the holiday season I look forward to is getting holiday cards.
Expectations have been the topic of conversation at my house this past week. What exactly about them? It’s true that my expectations are high. It’s inherent. I can’t change it; I’ve tried. Having high expectations is not such a bad thing. It’s what keeps me motivated. It’s what gives me goals. It’s why my laundry gets done. It’s why my business moves forward. You get the point.
