In the military world, I think things are a bit different, sometimes it's harder to make friends and then again sometimes it's the easiest thing in the world.
Right now, I'm on…

Belated Military Spouse Appreciation Day greetings to all of my fellow military spouses. You hold down the fort, you’re the ‘behind the scenes’ pillars of strength, and you’re the often unheralded conductor of the symphony of your family’s military voyage.
Sadly, my ‘symphony’ is often wildly out of tune. I often feel like Mozart toward the end of the movie ‘Amadeus’ when he takes on the conductor’s role, but grows ever more weary as the performance goes on, and finally…

I could hear cadence being sung near the parking lot at Ft. Sill’s Reynolds Army Community Hospital in Lawton, OK. My husband was in the Marine Corps at the time, but he was assigned to an Army base for training.

1. The health insurance is very good.
Tricare offers two plans to choose from--Prime or Standard.
