Tips on how to enjoy the military life despite the many negatives.

A look at being a soldier, and a military spouse during a deployment.

In my last article, I wrote about my unique lifestyle as an army wife. The focus largely remained on independence, enjoying life, and remaining strong. What I didn’t touch on, because it is truly only touching the tip of an iceberg, is how wives like me stay strong.

Married for almost three years, my husband and I have only physically been together half that time … if even that.

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.
