The China (as in plate) Debate
I used to be a reluctant military wife. I had to be pulled, kicking and screaming, to my first coffee and then didn’t attend another for four years. Prior to marriage, I was not only reluctant, but clueless, about all things military and didn’t...

Silence Can Be Golden

Can Anyone Talk To Their In-Laws About ‘What If’?
I can talk to my in-laws about the number of cavities my ten-year old will soon have if he doesn’t stop eating so many Pop Tarts. I can talk to my in-laws about the record lack of snow this year. We can talk about movies last seen in 1974. We can never...

Are you being schooled like Vermont Army Wife?
Somebody is getting schooled about military life. This week a young Army spouse in Vermont wrote a post on her personal blog about how National Guard spouses are not Army spouses. Big mistake. Huge mistake. And everyone is rolling in on her—bloggers,...

National Guard Quote: If You Don’t Ask for Help …
I will never run in combat boots. It is a little rule I have. So generally I don’t care about what all those patches and badges on a uniform really mean. My strategy for rank is to call everyone in uniform Sir or Ma’am and smile like an idiot. It works...

How-To’s of Military Marriage Counseling
We’ve all been there – stuck with our spouse between loud, ahem, “discussions” and trading the cold shoulder. Maybe we feel like we’ve lost the ability to communicate after a deployment, or that we feel stuck in reintegration – still! – after he’s been...

YDU: A Best Friend Doesn’t Come With My PCS?

Money Talk: To Buy, or Not To Buy?

The Mixed Blessing of Shared Interests
It was a beautiful Saturday in early spring a few years ago, complete with a blue sky, shining sun, and the scent of blooming flowers perfuming the air. My day had been going quite well until my doorbell rang; I answered it to find my neighbor on my porch...
