Category: Military Life
I have been married to an active-duty soldier for 14 years. In those long and lovely years, there is only one thing that I can tell you with 100% certainty – and that is: military life is HARD.
At times, this life is extremely unpredictable, lonely, and 1,000 times more difficult than it has to be. However, it is also beautiful, adventurous, and full of happy moments that make you cry with pure joy.
This is where I share the things I’ve learned along the way to make military life a little more bearable. Tips on how to make it through long deployments, care package ideas, things to do at different duty stations, and what to expect during a PCS: I am sharing everything I know.
