Military Spouse Appreciation Day

Second blog post today, I know, I know. BUT I decided since it is Military Spouse Appreciation Day, I'd share with you a little bit of what it is like to be a military spouse. Now, I'm new to this gig, and these are only first impressions, but I'd like to share my thoughts, and maybe in a year or two from now I can look back on this and see how my perceptions have changed (or not).
  • "You knew what you were signing up for" - Not really. And what papers did I sign?
  • "I could never do that" - Yeah, me either, sis.
  • "Thank you for your service" - Thank you for your support.
  • As soon as they leave, everything breaks or floods.
  • Don't bother planning anything. Ever.
  • Hurry up and wait.
  • Lean on your family.
  • Acronyms are very important.
  • Know your spouse's SSN.
  • Finding a job is even harder now. Especially if you have advanced degrees.
  • Other military members and spouses are SO helpful and kind, even if you've never actually met before.
