We spouses like to bicker about what our husbands’ leadership must think about the attire of spouses, girlfriends, partners and Milsos at the ball. This time we decided to ask. Here, straight from the source, is one Army First Sgt.’s (E-8...

If I Ever Forget What Happy Looks Like
If I ever forget what happy looks like, please take me to the international arrivals gate at the airport. I won’t be like Hugh Grant in Love Actually looking for evidence that love is all around. Take me to the airport because the people at the...

How to be a Great Military Spouse Advocate
I’ve heard the argument that military families should be happy for what we have, and that if the Defense Department (or others) gets it wrong, our “job” as spouses is to hold our noses and support the chain of command. I suspect there are some old school...

Military Wife Quotes: ‘Blorft’ is an Adjective I Just Made Up
Every morning I wake up, drink some coffee and gird my loins for the day to come. Because in military life, especially, there’s no telling what kind of crazy any day will bring. What time will my husband come home? (Who knows!) What moving-related misadventure...

Top Ten Magic Words Long Distance Husbands Say To Their Wives
Conducting a long distance relationship (like we all do from time to time in the military) means that a guy has to learn to love somebody without his hands. Long distance husbands have to do it with lips and tongue alone—from 6000 miles away. This means...

Hey MilSOs! It’s Time to Move It
It all started with trying to find a way to keep busy while my servicemember was away. I’m a writer by profession, so blogging seemed to be a natural choice. But what began as an idea to write my way through our National Guard Annual Training ended...

Adios Friends, I Don’t Need You Cuz Deployment Is Over

Smarter Than A Worksheet? Think Again
I am far too smug to use a worksheet to get ready for deployment. So when Blue Star Families asked me to try out the worksheets in their new free eBook Everyone Serves, I was a little blasé about the whole thing. Worksheets are for babies. Who needs a...

YDU: The Tower of Babble
Why didn’t you tell me that the military would turn me into a babbler? After all, the nice man behind the counter just wanted to know what had brought me to the area. I suddenly developed some kind of speech disorder “I’m, no, not me…we are, my...

Does the National Guard Make You an Outcast?
Sometimes as a National Guard significant other (SO) it’s easy to feel like an outcast. I joined Twitter recently (late to the party, I know), and as one of my first moves I followed @SpouseBuzz to help keep myself up to date. One follow led to...

Add the Perfect Touch to Your Birthday Care Package

No Equality Between Combat Deployment and ‘Regular’ Deployment
Sometimes I think I understand deployment. My Navy husband has deployed eight times. His ship is in one of the most volatile areas of the world as I write this. I understand what I know as a gone-for-eight-months kind of regular deployment. (If you will...

Why I Don’t Want to be Like Our ‘Old School’ Sisters
