Usually if you live on base there are activities and clubs for the spouses of military personnel. It can be a lonely life though. Then sometimes the ';wives clubs'; are full of gossipy women, drama and clicks so you may not always feel welcomed. Some places you move to can be quite boring because the base is not in a fun city. You will definitley need to find a hobby of your own to keep the walls from closing in.





If your hubby will be moving every 2 years, holding a job down for you will be hard because when he moves you most likely will move. It really depends on the type of person you are. If you need to be up under your husband and in his face all the time --- it will be hard. If you are not the type of person who has self-motivation and can think of building your own life -- it will be hard. If you are not the sociable type who likes to meet new people -- it will be very hard.





There are many positives about being a military spouse -- lots of benefits, the base provides alot of free activities that most civilians have to pay for, you can meet some cool people, the military does take care of you too and moving to new cities can be fun -- especially when you don't ahve to pay for it.





It's definitely different, but doable.
Wow! My husband has been in the AF for about 7 years now. Our daughter and I moved to Minot, ND with him back in 2005 and we got married there. It is a small town and VERY cold in the Winter. There are a few places to hang out-but the best thing is to watch what kind of friends you make-because there are alot of people there who will try to corrupt your marriage. (Just saying women %26amp; men in general). And there is a small percentage of meth users in the area-so keep your house/car locked- even if you live on base-keep your guard up. We lived off base for about 5 months and then recieved orders to Japan. Were now in New Mexico.





I say to you, be strong because life as a military wife is hard in many aspects (unpredictable) and easy in some.


You are guaranteed income (Please manage it right and dont go into debt-live inside your means and SAVE in the TSP and a seperate savings account for rainy days or splurges)


You can live on base/ free or have a percentage of your rent covered if off base


You have health care


You have support from so many organizations.





My only gripes are my husband's work schedule and deployments-but thats a part of the game.





So stick with your hubby-dont run away (back home) when you guys have arguments or problems. Stay true to him no matter what and whom looks your way-And pray to God to strengthn your marriage daily!





You will be fine-make the best of it (your locations)-and remember-Dont Run Back Home-Dont leave your husband because the town is boring. Enroll in some classes or volunteer to keep busy and meet new friends.
