Yesterday afternoon, I stopped at the commissary to grab some things, when I found myself in the health and beauty aisle. Without thinking, I grabbed my husband’s brand of body wash, popped it open, and inhaled deeply. The next thing I knew, I was clutching that bottle with tears running down my face. I rushed out of the aisle and quickly paid for my purchases.
Deployment
There may be no better time for empowerment than when faced with a looming deployment or when you are in the thick of one.
Join our Mission: Milspouse team as we share all our tips, lessons learned, best practices for coping, and our hearts in solidarity with you in all things deployment. Whether you are preparing for your first one or you navigating your 7th, we have the resources you need to thrive in one of the most challenging aspects of milspouse life.
Our resources span the gamut: From that first moment when your service member says “I’ve got news,” to establishing a battle rhythm in those first few weeks, to parenting solo, and to reintegrating after that homecoming kiss… We have resources to guide you every step of the way. We are raw, vulnerable, experienced, and ready to support you through this season!
Disaster Preparedness: Sick Mommy Kit
There’s hurricane season, tornado season, blizzard season, the list goes on. We are blasted with reminders everywhere, especially within our military communities.
Please Don’t Call
My love,
Please don’t call tonight. As much as I want to hear your voice and tell you that I love you, I can’t bear to talk to you.
Breaking My Heart
I received an email from my first grader’s music teacher requesting that all the children who have family members overseas this Christmas bring a photo to the Holiday Music program and hold up the picture while they sing Bring Him Home, Santa.
Field Problem: OPSEC
Dear, Field Problems:
Are my e-mails and/or letters to my husband being read? Seriously, I’m not trying to sound paranoid, but someone from his ship told me they were. I’d just like to know, if this is common practice, and if so, why.
