National Guard & Reserves
We know you aren’t “just like everyone else.” We here at Mission: Milspouse see you and support you right alongside our active-duty component!
There may not be an installation nearby, and your unit might not have hosted a family “readiness” meeting since 1992. However, you are still a part of the military community, no matter what season of service your National Guard/Reserve member is navigating.
From annual training (that may or may not actually be “two weeks in the summer”) to weekend training each month, or units recently activated, we are here to get you connected and to empower you with the knowledge you need to succeed.
Here you will find a list of blogs to speak to your experience, and hopefully offer some encouragement and insight along the way.
How To Find Community
When you move to obscure places with little or no support for your military unit, how do you find your community? Join Julie as she talks all things community.
Lingo for Reserve Spouses
Whether you are new to Reserve Spouse life or you have been around for a few years you might have begun to realize that we speak our own lingo that’s different from the active duty folks.
What Military Families Should Know About Disaster Preparedness
As the wife of a first responder and a military service member (National Guardsman), I’m accustomed to periods of time where I’m juggling the responsibilities of our household on my own. From preparing for 24-hour shifts to monthly drills and a month-long annual training over the summer, it can be a lot to handle.
An Open Letter to the National Guard Spouse
Dearest National Guard spouse, I see you.
Your partner is gone and you may have wonderful friends, but none understand what you’re going through. Your kids have a slew of friends and they don’t have to PCS, but they also don’t have friends that understand why their parent is gone. Your family loves you, but they too do not comprehend the feeling of a spouse being away.
Don’t worry, I see you.
7 Misconceptions of the National Guard
There was a time in my life when I knew nothing about the National Guard. All I knew was what I learned in history class about their role with the Little Rock Nine. I also knew that I saw them after tornado outbreaks in my state.
