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!

No, this isn’t my Christmas list!
It’s the little things—the little things that make me miss him most.
The Sands of Christmas
I had no Christmas spirit when I breathed a weary sigh,
And looked across the table where the bills were piled too high.
The laundry wasn’t finished and the car I had to fix,
My stocks were down another point, the Cowboys lost by six.
If You’re Not in Love with a Service Member
If you’re not in love with a service member, you can’t know adventure. You don’t know smelly PT uniforms that require a daily washing. You can’t understand green and brown camouflaged bags flooding your bedroom floor.
If you’re not in love with a service member, you can’t understand the meaning of the phrase “going to the field” and the weeks you spend away from each other.
