Did You Just Try to Pronounce an Acronym?
My husband has a board today and I’ve been helping him study for a couple weeks now. It’s been (less than) really fun for me. He has a study guide and I ask him questions. There are rate (mos) related questions, command specific questions...

Like Childbirth, You Forget the Pain
A couple of weeks ago I was talking with my sister-in-law about the horrors surrounding a PCS move when my husband made an utterly outrageous comment. He said something to the effect of PCS moves being no big deal because you just sit there while the...

To Club, or Not to Club?
I’m probably not much of a shoe-in to win any Military Spouse of the Year awards. I mean, I’d be quite flattered if someone out there passed my name along, but I’m going to go out on a limb and say that I’m not that kind of military...

The DVR is Full and Panic is Setting In
We’re ramping up for our PCS move. Yay us! Last night, my husband clicked on the DVR menu so he could watch a baseball game he recorded. When the menu came up, I glanced at all the recordings we have yet to watch, and that’s when it hit me...

Resource: Moving Made … Easy?
During the first five minutes of me-time I’ve had in several weeks I sat down with my most recent copy of Real Simple, only to stumble upon an ad for a feature on their website called “Moving Made Easy.” As we are all aware, moving is NOT easy, nor will...

Does Deployment Mean ‘Single’ Parenthood?
When your spouse deploys, do you consider yourself a “single parent?” I recently had a discussion with three women about the difference in the status of single motherhood, with all that it entails, and temporary “single parenthood.”...

From the Mailbag: The Politics of Friends
I tend to meet my friends at the grocery store. Also, the library. And sometimes I meet them when I’m walking my dogs (my dogs, Ike and Mamie, are very interested in meeting new friends. And they tend to assume everyone wants to be their friend...
