Humorous Hacks: Back-to-School
Can you feel the excitement in the air? It’s got more pop than fireworks on the 4th of July, and the anticipation rivals that going-to-bed-on-Christmas-Eve feeling.
That’s right, my friends. It’s back-to-school time! (Oh. Not everyone gets this excited? Weird.)
Show #660: Seasons of My Military Student
Featured guests, Amanda Trimillos and Stacy Huisman, from Seasons of My Military Student, share practical ways that parents and teachers can help students from military families thrive in school this year.
The Right Time for Resilience
What if someone offered to make you a stronger, more resilient person before you took off for that new duty station? What if you had the opportunity to participate in a program that could help you with problem solving and maintaining a positive outlook at whatever life (and the chaos of a move with kids and pets) can throw at you? A little resilience can help.
Take a minute and think about the PCS checklist you have at this time of year.
Free College Money is Good College Money
Repeat after me: “Free college money is good college money.”
There are many scholarships out there for military spouses, dependents, and service members who want to attend college and other training… and some of them are just waiting for you.
Yes, you can use the Post-9/11 GI Bill or the Forever GI Bill if you have access to it, but you can also compete for scholarship money to support your education and training needs. Doing so will enable you to use the GI Bill later on or save it for a dependent.
AWTR Show #623: The Taking of K-129
Featured guest, Josh Dean, tells about his latest book, The Taking of K-129, a riveting, almost unbelievable true-life tale of military history, engineering genius, and high-stakes spy-craft set during the height of the Cold War, when nuclear annihilation was a constant fear, and the opportunity to gain even the slightest advantage over your enemy was worth massive risk.
Easy Ways to Get Ready for Back-to-School
Shopping for back-to-school supplies isn’t the way it used to be, that’s for sure. Yes, some schools still send home sheets of specific items for your child’s use, but other methods are showing up too.
Believe it or not, they might even be easier than shopping for an itemized list of 25 things.
AWTR Show #619: Tutor.com
Join the AWN Core Team and special guests, Pam Brehm and Joan Rooney, as they discuss Tutor.com for U.S. Military Families. Tutor.com for U.S. Military Families, funded by the U.S. Department of Defense and Coast Guard Mutual Assistance, is a program that allows eligible students (grades K-12) and service members in U.S. military families to connect to a live tutor online at any time for one-to-one help with homework, studying, test prep, proofreading and more at no cost.
AWTR Show #618: Sesame Street
Join the AWN Core Team and special guest, Jeanette Betancourt from Sesame Street for Military Families, as they talk about ways Sesame Street helps young military children navigate the waters of change during a PCS, how to talk to your kids about when mommy or daddy has to go away for an extended period of time/deployment, and the new adventure of transitioning back to civilian life.
