Ask Army Wife 101: Pay
This question relates to: Pay Q. My husband and I just PCS’d to Bragg and being that it is our first duty station we applied for DLA as soon as we got here on the 12th. I just checked his LES and there was nothing on there. My question is does that pay come seperate or should it have been in this paycheck. Thanks in advance. A. Hi and thanks for writing!

Special On PTSD Tonight
I have received numerous emails from spouses asking me about PTSD or how they can learn more and what they can do for a spouse who they think might have it.

I recently received this preview video clip to share with my readers from Current TV on a documentary that airs tonight about PTSD and some of the ways it is affecting soldiers. I think that while … Read entire article »

So for the longest time I have been a member of many military spouse forums as well as a moderator. One thing I noticed is the amount of information that so many spouses don’t know and they have no idea where to find it.
