...by making it easier to PCS your JOB in addition
to your family and household goods!
As many of you may know, the month of May is Military Appreciation Month! This year DoD began an effort to make it "31 Days of Military Spouse Appreciation" as well; to highlight their efforts to help with spouse employment. It is not a surprise to the military community that the economy, the health insurance issues for corporations and small businesses and career transportability issues have made it harder for spouses to find jobs in new areas of the country after a PCS.
