Pets and PCS
Military families don’t always have it easy. A permanent change of station (PCS) can come out of nowhere and throw everyone into a state of chaos. When pets are involved, it’s even worse. Will the new base allow Fluffy or Fido? How are you supposed to get them across the country or even across the ocean? What documentation do you need to bring your four-legged friend along for the ride and who is going to pay for this, anyway? A PCS can take its toll on the whole family, but you’re resilient: you can make it happen. Here are a few key...

Energy drinks have become the top-selling cold beverages on Army and Air Force bases across the world. Now two doctors, concerned about the deaths of more than a dozen people who have consumed the drinks, have suggested that the beverages be banned from the military completely.

Almost one out of every four military spouses who would like to work is out of a job, according to Department of Defense (DoD) statistics. The reasons are quite familiar to military families. Service members are deployed to combat zones, hardship-duty stations or unaccompanied tours, or they leave for training exercises, often for weeks or months at a time. That leaves the remaining spouse to run the household. Taking care of the family and holding down a job can be difficult under the best of circumstances, but military families also have the...

There’s a new official version of the groups that have historically formed around enlisted military families. These groups used to be known as officer and enlisted wives’ clubs, telephone and social rosters, and informal volunteer gatherings. Today, these groups have evolved into command-sponsored organizations known as family readiness groups (FRGs).
