Since 1984, when President Ronald Reagan’s proclamation first recognized the contributions of spouses to the military mission and home front at large, we, as a country, have taken a spring day to celebrate the awesomeness that is the military spouse.
Our understanding of military spouses and their capabilities has evolved over the past 35 years. (We’ll admit, there’s still work to do out there—which is why we are still here.)
Despite what some will tell you, there isn’t a right way to do this life, which is why we at MSCCN work to support all military spouses. From military spouses to military spouses, we are sending our virtual high-fives and hugs to each and every one of you who is making this life work for you.

No matter where you are in this military life, we at MSCCN are glad you are here, and we are thrilled to be here to support you. We asked our team a few questions about military spouses, and here is what they had to say.
What wishes/goals/hopes do you have for the military spouse community?
Set a goal for yourself to figure out your "why", whether it's within your personal or professional life. Once you've done that, make a plan to accomplish whatever it is you wish to achieve. Use your resources, help others when you can, but also, be the reason for your own success.

What do you love about the military spouse community?
I love how the military spouse community is open and willing to learn and try new things. You meet a lot of spouses who take action at every post they are assigned to and make the most of their time in each place. It’s amazing to see how many military spouse groups there are at each station continuing to help new spouses meet other spouses and lend a helping hand when needed. They are really starting to use social media outlets to get more participation and pull more military spouses together to feel at home. They are always willing to support each other in any way that they can, and they are passionate and proud to be military spouses.

I love the diversity of the military spouse community. We are a widely assorted group, but the military brings us together through shared understanding and lifestyle. As an Employment Specialist, I am often humbled by the intelligence, accomplishments, and genuine fortitude I witness in the military spouses I connect with each week, regardless of where they are from or where they may be headed.

The thing I love about the military spouse community is that there is no judgment, no prejudice, no pride...just a group of spouses there for one another when it is needed.
