Thank you should be seen as an icebreaker and not an ending. Going beyond, “Thank you for your service” can be easy and creates a more meaningful conversation. Some good follow-up questions are: what branch did you serve in or what was your job? These questions will help to form a deeper more authentic connection with the person you want to thank.
Sometimes this military life can send you on some wild adventures – including living overseas. In this week’s Milspouse Empowerment Moment, Chrissy talks about how she navigated unaccompanied baggage with her recent PCS to Germany! She gives insight into unaccompanied baggage and tips for what to include in unaccompanied baggage.
If we said PCS time can be stressful and planning a PCS was overwhelming, no one would be shocked. At Moving with MILLIE, they’re flipping the script and saying that with a great team, you don’t have to be stressed and overwhelmed. They can help you feel calm, collected, and confident going into your next PCS. You don’t have to stress, and you don’t have to do this alone!
This military life certainly comes with its challenges, but the silver linings keep us going. For this week’s Milspouse Empowerment Moment, Amanda reminds us of the positive things that come with this crazy and wonderful military life. A positive take on life can help us to tackle those tough times when they come. Here’s to trying to be more positive!
The simple act of receiving a letter in the mail can bring such joy to a person. There is an organization that is working very hard to bring joy to our nation’s veterans – the Veteran Pen Pal Project (VPPP). A nationwide initiative that happens continually and focuses on one simple act of kindness – writing a letter supporting our nation’s veterans.
During COVID, VPPP founder, Christina saw a need for veterans in long-term facilities that weren’t getting interaction with anyone. Through social media, they started this initiative and in the first year, they sent over 45,000 letters. The goal is to show veterans they are not forgotten and that they are appreciated.
We all know how awkward some events can be where you have to talk to people you don’t know. Well for this week’s Milspouse Empowerment Moment, Kathleen has some tips for icebreakers that melt the awkwardness. These icebreakers work whether you are the host or some even work if you are just the attendee. Here’s to your next event being less awkward!
