Just a reminder that flowers and gift cards are nice, but one of the best ways to celebrate #MilitarySpouseAppreciationDay is to support initiatives and policies that empower #Militaryspouses.

@NBCThisisUs, @justinhartley, loved #GuitarMan and its emphasis on #Veterans and mental health.

Also thoroughly enjoyed this:
Kevin: Did you know these guys built schools in war zones?
Nicky/Cassidy: Yes, that's why we hired them.

#VeteranEmployment, #VeteranMentalHealth

@VelvetHammerSGM nope

@ChelseaMDO1 @GeorginaAdlam @AndrewR_Physics I always respond to that with, every generation criticizes the one after it and says “kids today.” Serious eye roll.

[Jamie @JamieLBPhD]

@ChelseaMDO1 @AndrewR_Physics No, no we don’t. And they figured it out. Did they not figure out that their experience isn’t universal?

[Jamie @JamieLBPhD]

@miketheredleg @coffeeshopjihad @SNAFU_Sara That’s apparently what ours does.

[Jamie @JamieLBPhD]

@shelbyekf @smsicard @AirForceTimes 100% yes

[Jamie @JamieLBPhD]

@caseyboyle It was an interesting two years in your state. Can’t say I’ll miss it.

[Jamie @JamieLBPhD]

@Literature_Lady Hugs. I feel like we aren’t quite back at the beginning, but almost back at the beginning, and it’s a terrible feeling.

[Jamie @JamieLBPhD]

@mike_sell Right, because it’s been 16-17 years since I’ve been in your class so of course your kids are old enough for college. 🤦🏻‍♀️ best of luck to him and hoping for good conversations and nice visits during semester breaks.

[Jamie @JamieLBPhD]

@rebecca_alwine Knock on wood. My youngest started pre-k, and then we went virtual because covid. But yes, I had just applied to start a second masters.

[Jamie @JamieLBPhD]

@CautionaryTale9 He doesn't know many families. I moved to remote teaching & contract work so that I could "balance" work & household. Would be fun to see us afford a nanny on my spouse's E8 salary/my pay, & we are better off than most. Know they weren't his audience, but what would he tell ENL?

[Jack Murphy @JackMurphyRGR]

Fellas. I mean, really now. How can you have the confidence of a Special Forces Colonel who has a two hour barricaded stand off with the cops after allegedly beating his wife, knowing that the Army officer good old boy network won't do a thing to you?

@SNAFU_Sara Planning on sending them. I sent them back in TX at what was the worst time (then) after virtual schooling for half the year. Our school is requiring masks, and I’m still anxious.

[Jamie @JamieLBPhD]

Favorite part of returning to an installation: having housing claim the attics aren't meant for storage & residents can't use them, but knowing a resident stupidly walked through a part of the attic that only had insulation and wasn't finished. They were meant for storage before.

[Jamie @JamieLBPhD]

@whatsupdoc82 Be careful. Sometimes you mean to adopt one and bring home two instead.

[Jamie @JamieLBPhD]

@rsanderlin @eileenahuck I think yes, and now there’s just east and west. I thought when I lived in San Antonio, I’d be in west, but I still wasn’t.

[Jamie @JamieLBPhD]

@rebecca_alwine @AMBRabe @AirmantoMom @CautionaryTale9 I’ve heard too many times still “if the army wanted your husband to have a spouse…” and the longer it’s gone, the more it’s expected that spouses have it together. Y’all ever need someone to send dinner, PM me. I can order dinner from afar like a champ.
