Being a student is full-time work. It is not gritty or grimy, but it certainly is grueling and intense. I don’t know about you, but there are times that I feel resentful. We pay a huge amount of money to work so hard. Although it isn’t harmful to wallow for a bit, eventually . . . well, if we’re not part of the solution, we’re part of the problem, right?

Rookie military wife mistake. I am afraid to type it because I do not want to jinx myself and the troubles that may come because of it.

So to me, a Permanent Change of Station can be looked at a lot like a deployment. No matter how many you have under your belt, the next one will be different. It may be more difficult. It may be easier. But it will certainly be different.
It’s hard to explain just how bad a week can be during deployment.
Granted, all it takes is a look or a simple exchange of a few words between military spouses for each other to understand.
But, when you’re trying to explain it to someone married to a math teacher, an accountant or car salesperson, well, it just doesn’t compute.
Just when you think you are ahead of the game as you plan your next career move to match your next military household move, you are suddenly reminded that military life is always full of surprises. And most of the time it starts with the phrase, ‘Honey, guess what?’
Ever feel like your life as a mom has no right to mingle with your professional career? Like you are constantly choosing between two lives?
