Being a military spouse means being willing to rearrange your life at a moment's notice and move to just about anywhere. Thankfully for us we are both adventurous and open to traveling. Of course, we miss our family and we try to see them as much as possible. Being a military spouse also means leaving your circle of friends behind each time you move and making new friends in a new location. Fortunately, I never had a problem making friends wherever we lived. The first person you meet when moving to a new place is a military spouse. She is your best resource with regards to the best restaurants in the area, where to get your hair done, best doctors, best places to shop, etc.
"Home is where the Navy takes you" and you will have many homes. We moved 4 times in the last 5 years. We were stationed in Athens, GA; Groton, CT; San Diego, CA and are currently stationed in Corpus Christi, TX.
Being a military spouse is a sacrifice I'm willing to make because my husband loves his job and his country. I am always proud of my husband and the good that he does for people around the world. He is my hero. We will most definitely recommend our children to serve at least 4 years in the military to support their country and develop leadership skills.
