“Foxtrot” is for…

Life is about perspective. I think this week’s words from the Mr. Army Wife and Friends podcast represent that very well. As milspos we run the gamut of emotions. We can agree that sometimes we get frustrated with the way things are going, but out of those frustrations come creative solutions. As milspos we have seen the fertile nature of our lives, both literally and figuratively. There are lots of babies in the military community, but there are also lots of new ideas, new career paths, and new ways to do things that come from the fertile brains military spouses possess. Because of this, military spouses are fortunate to be part of a community that allows them to grow in these creative ways. Plus, have you ever hung out with a military spouse…they are just plain FUN!

Hey Friends, I am thinking about adding a segment for Heather (my dear Soldier) into the podcast. Do you have any questions for her. Is there something you wonder about me or us that only she can answer? Message me the question and she might answer it on an upcoming episode.

Thanks and I hope you are enjoying the podcast.

“Delta” is for…
Dedicated? Yes! Dutiful? For Sure! Daring? Without a doubt! Deliberate? Absolutely! These are the “delta” words that describe military spouses to a tee. You won’t find a more dedicated spouse than the one that will watch your kids in a pinch, or bring you a meal if needed. You won’t find a more dutiful spouse than the one who will support a career like it is more important than his/her own. You won’t find a more daring spouse than the one who charges forward into the infinite unknowns of military life. And you won’t find a more deliberate spouse who does all of these with a plan that can change at a moments notice, but that they will be ready for.

If you are a military spouse then you know how each of these words apply to you and your peers. When was the last time you collaborated with your Service Member, or another spouse, or some other person in the community? Probably today! How have you shown compassion to others?
