Look no further: * 2010 Military Saves Week – The Stress of Making a Purchase – Did you know that The Department of Defense has designated Feb. 22 through March 1, 2010 as Military Saves Week? Saving money… kind of a sore point for me.  Extending Your Dollars Not as Tough as Once Thought- Trying to squeeze a few more pennies out of those dollars you receive every couple of weeks is a challenge to many. … Is this what support feels like?

    Revitalized, ‘Re-streamed’ and Re-energized

    February 27, 2010 /

    I have to admit… it’s been a long weekend.  It had been a LONG weekend as of Saturday morning. Yesterday was a snow-day for my boys.  The first of the year for our school district.  Last year we didn’t have any…. and we do live in northern-Ohio.  So we do get snow!  But as my brother-in-law so eloquently put it … “More Learning … less Snow-Angels” is the school’s motto 😉 So I admit I was kind of excited for them to enjoy their day off on Friday… BUT by 10am, Friday, I was ready to ship them off to Antarctica. “BOYS!”  Anyone listening in might think that was the extent…

    Attention Military Spouses, Brats, Parents … We want to meet you!

    February 26, 2010 /

    I’d LOVE to do a weekly or monthly segment all about you … the one who stands behind our soldiers, sailors, airmen, marines & coast guard.  The ‘forgotten-heroes’ at home.  The loved-ones who traded in a piece of their heart for his (or her!) dog-tags. “The Faces Behind Our Heroes” Would you be interested in responding to a short email with interview-type questions?  Fill it out, send it back my way and then I will feature you on “Our Letters to You“; if you are a blogger I’ll be sure to include a link to your blog for the extra touch of publicity!  I’ll pick a new interview-ee each week to feature, and…

    The Veterans Airlift Command says, “THEY’VE GOT HEART…THEY NEED WINGS”

    February 25, 2010 /

    I was hard at work today when I saw a tweet from a friend and decided to find out more! Ever follow your gut and realize that you did the right thing later? Stephanie, a Marine Corps spouse asked if I had ever heard of Veteran Airlift Command and I said no, but let me check this out. A pilot is always curious about aircraft stories and this one sounded interesting. Supporting veterans has a real ring in my ears! Jumping to Veterans Airlift Command’s website and blog I found some great information about some real patriots! Yep patriots! Say it again, these guys are patriots! Next thing you know…

    US Army Initial Military Training – DoD Roundtable with LTG Mark Hertling

    February 24, 2010 /

    I remember my first connection with the military community like it was yesterday! My concerns when I left my hometown for officer training school and pilot training in 1971 were certainly far less than the open fear of my family! All new military trainees and their families must face those same concerns and fears so when I saw the opportunity to listen to and question the Deputy Commanding General for Army Initial Military Training I quickly volunteered (I can do that now since I am retired – first rule, never volunteer was a common civilian warning before I entered the Air Force). I wanted to hear how the Army was…

    Is this what support feels like? The ‘Pause’ of MyCAA

    February 23, 2010 /

    I have a barrel of emotions running through me this morning. Distrust. Anger. Frustration. Not pretty emotions. And it is all for our military-spouses directed – AT – our administration. Effective immediately, the MyCAA program is temporarily halting operations. We are reviewing all procedures, financial assistance documents and the overall program. This pause will not affect approved Financial Assistance documents. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Please check back for updates. They pulled paused MyCAA (Military Spouse Career Advancement). Not good. Not good at all. The program gave $6,000 in tuition money to help the military-spouse with a portable career. A portable career is A NECESSITY for a military wife…

    Training the Afghan Army (Part II) – DoD Roundtable with Brigadier Simon Levey, British Army

    February 23, 2010 /

    Military bloggers enjoyed another DoDLive Bloggers Roundtable today with Brigadier Simon Levey, British Army, Commander, Combined Training Advisory Group-Afghanistan. Brigadier Levey was interesting, informative and he brought a new perspective to the training issues for the Afghan National Army (ANA). The efforts of the allies in Afghanistan for 8+ years will be successful if the Afghans prepare for the eventual departure of allied forces with a trained, professional, educated and ethical army. The trainers might be said to be the linchpin of our efforts to win the hearts and minds of the Afghan people. The camaraderie between military personnel, their trust and cooperation can be the glue that holds this…

    Sometimes you just have to wonder WHY… MyCAA & the DoD

    February 23, 2010 /

    I am wondering WHY would the DoD possibly end the MyCAA? The MyCAA program is invaluable to military spouses who are constantly relocating and working to find a niche in the work force. Here are some details about the MyCAA program: The Department of Defense (DoD) Military Spouse Career Advancement Accounts (MyCAA) program provides a lifetime benefit of up to $6,000 of Financial Assistance (FA) for military spouses who are pursuing licenses, certificates, credentials or degree programs leading to employment in Portable Career Fields. Who Is Eligible? Spouses of DoD Active Duty members and activated members of the National Guard and Reserve Components who are on Title 10 orders are…

    Homes for Our Heroes & other great organizations looking for your support

    Have you seen our outreach to the business community?  “Marketing to the Military” is all about and for our MilitaryAvenue Business Partners, the companies that support the military-community.  This morning I sent them some information about how they can support you, the military-family.  But outreach like this isn’t limited to the businesses around you … You can help too! There are a lot of great organizations out there that support our military-families in times of need; from deployment-support (Armed Services YMCA), to a new baby for young parents (Operation Homefront); from wounded warrior transitions (Wounded Warrior Project), to dealing with the unexpected loss of a military-member (TAPS). These organizations (and…
