Tammie, would you be available to chat sometime soon. I'd love to talk to you more about what you and some of the women who have come to you for advice are dealing with. You can email me the best way to get in touch: skeats@bravenewfoundation.org

Tammie, I would agree that the military is different than it was even a short time ago. A lot of the men in my family were soldiers and it's interesting hearing family stories from them. I'm glad I'm married to the 'new military'. It's still hard but a lot more family friendly.

I can tell you everyone has a story, either good or bad its their own.. I for one come from a military up bring and married into this life not once but twice, I have to say the military has grown more then most think.. the military 20 yrs ago was not family friendly and those who are just now getting in or marring into this life really dont know how good that have it compared to 10-20 yrs ago..

I can also say that being married to a man in uniform is not an easy choice to make nor should it be taken lightly.. its hard as is to be married these days then you add long deployments on top of that makes for a very rocky road for those who dont think long and hard about the choice they are making when they say I do..

Not all marriages last in this military life it really takes work if you want to stay with the one you love.. This life teaches those left behind they need to be able to handle things on their own and take care of the every day things that life throws at them without breaking down.. most cant handle things on their own so they find other ways to deal that in the long run will ruin their marriages or their relationships with friends and family.. there is a lot of additions like drugs and alcohol, then there's all the cheating on both sides.. some cant learn to find ways to help the loneliness when deployments hit..

All in all we all have a story, I have many myself, I know I'm not prefect but I know most women I meet talk to me and ask me for advice to help them get through deployments, homecomings, and they love the advice I give about their kids since I was born and raised in this life style and can help them adjust..

So Let me if I make a good story line.. I have been through to many deployments to count with my dad and ex husband and new husband..
I feel I have a lot of advice to give those who just dont know about the military way of life..
