Being in the military is one of the toughest jobs there is. But being a military spouse is quite hard in itself. It takes a lot of patience, adaptability, hard work, and that's just the tip of the iceberg. We bear the brunt of what our spouses have to endure in the military, and more than often hold up the fort at home. Can you do it? Well, you will need to tap into strength you never knew you had.

First off:

Hope you like to travel! One of the best parts, in my opinion anyway, is you get to see the world! Or at least lots of the United States. Very rarely is the army going to move you close to where your present home is, more than likely you'll end up thousands of miles away. And since most of us have vehicles that we need to get there, it means you'll be going on a lot of cross-country road trips. You can either dread it, or make it fun and exciting. I prefer the latter. We have made trips out of each of our moves, usually we have enough time to stop and explore some major landmarks along the way. Plus, I guarantee as you drive you'll come across some remote place or attraction that you've never heard of. stop and check it out. You'll have interesting stories to tell of some off-the-wall place nobody has heard of. They usually prove to be interesting anyway. Don't dread the long trips...look forward to them instead. It will make the time go a lot faster.
