PCS Chaos – tears and all. Just another day in the life.
Glad to be back!
It’s been a long time, but I’m excited to be welcome back. I hope life has been treating you all well. This year brings a 3,000+ PCS journey for my family. It’s going to be an eventful summer, but I’m looking forward to it. What has happened in the past year since I have fallen [...]

Apparently, this has never happened before, except for servicemembers who were formally attached to the President’s detail. The servicemembers along with MK2 Hutto were, Sergeant [...]

There are so many opportunities to do good in the military community. This website is just one wonderful example of that. What Wendy has provided for the Navy community and the military community at large is wonderful. I have a hunch Wendy does even more than this site and Navy Wife Radio, she just seems [...]
