This morning I ran across a link on twitter to a soldier’s blog that is deploying very soon the Afghanistan. He write a post about his two-year old daughter. The post is very touching and worth the read. After you are done, leave him and his family a comment and thank him for serving our [...]

PTSD in Dogs.
Posted by juliannah on July 28th, 2010
I was reading an article about Gina, a military working dog. Gina’s job was to sniff out drugs and bombs. She deployed to Southwest Asia for a five month tour, but came back a different dog. She could not tolerate loud noises and would refuse to go into buildings. On her tour, Gina routinely went [...]

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Ashworth College. All opinions are 100% mine. I read a lot of Milspouse blogs, so I know the challenges these women face.

I was searching the internet at the time for military news partly because of my son and nephew’s enlistments in the Marine Corps and because I just wanted to learn more about the military world. Well, somehow I stumbled across a blog called Kaboom A Soldier’s War Journal. [...]

I have to say it is hard to be a military mom, but hands down, it is harder to be a military spouse. When my son deploys, I still have my husband here. Milspouses do not. I do not have to run a household by myself. Milspouses do. I do not have to raise kids [...]
