  1. Great advice Crystal! I get this question a lot on my blog too and have two blogposts she might find of interest….

    Married a soldier, now what?

    The plight of a military girlfriend

    Generally realize that ALL wives at one point or another were in your shoes, and it is just going to be a learning process and keep doing what you are doing by reading about others’ experiences…I think Crystal has a list somewhere of other military wives blogs…plus try the Army Wives Forum at http://www.armywivesforums.com/ to connect with others ….and of course Cyrstal’s new forum (which I really need to visit)!

    Let me say that with your DH joining the military, you become a part of a larger military family…with all the good things that go with having someone in your corner, job security for your DH and all the non-monetary benefits your family will receive:-)
