Six Websites Every Military Wife Should Know
As a military spouse I know that sometimes the world of duty stations, TDY, and deployments can be confusing and lonely, to say the least. I’ve put together a few really great websites. These websites are designed just for families looking for answers: answers on anything from deployments to relocation, from military like with kids to military life on base.
When it comes to military life you’ll never know everything, but it’s sure nice to know a lot! They’ll also give you some great ways to help support our troops overseas!

CincHouse
Here is a site just for military spouses and women! It’s like an online coffee house just for women! Not only can keep build a profile and chat with other military wives, but there are articles full of advice on everything from saving money on diapers to popular new workouts, from beauty tips to military finances.

Let’s Say Thanks
This has got to be one of my favorite places to go when I have a free minute. Choose from numerous card designs (all original drawings), add a message (write your own or use pre-made versions), then click send! At no cost to you a card is sent to our troops overseas! A quick, easy, FREE way to show your support and appreciation to our troops!

Military Homefront
Here is the best site on military relocation I have seen. They have a ridiculous amount of resources available to help make your military move as easy as possible!

Military One Source
It is a one-stop-shop at Military One Source. One Source can provide you with answers to just about any question you might have. Duty stations, deployments, Red Cross information, military pay, and DOD schools are just the beginning. If you can’t find it on the website just give their toll-free number a call. They’re available 24/7! They even have international numbers for those overseas.

This is a great list – you can add The Women’s Nest to that, too! It was written up by Military.com – It’s a free community for women (on line) and wonderful for military spouses!!

there are MEN who are military spouses, too. actually, there are quite a few of us, and we’re a growing constituency. yet, we continue to be insulted, discrimated against based on sex, and institutionally and intentionally ignored without apology just as we have been in this article.

to poster #3 & #4, she wasn’t writing the article to make you feel discriminated. Just change the fill in the blanks from woman to man. When I think of a military spouse I see the male being out fighting the war while the female is at home, yes, that is stereotypical and we need to realize then some men are military spouses too.
