Joys and struggles
I'm glad to see that more than half of you who responded are happy with military life, whether you knew what you were getting into or not. (See poll results above.)
For those of you who have had a less positive experience, what is your biggest struggle with military life? Is it the moves? The structure? Please feel free to share here. This is your space.
The June 24th Spouse Calls column is about two women who turned their struggle with military spouse status into a book, and a way to help other military spouses.
