Is it diffi cult being a military spouse after being a Soldier?
“It’s harder being a military spouse, I think. The hardest
thing for me was when we were in Italy, my son was a
baby and I didn’t know anybody on post. The military
is like a Family. I could always count on talking to other
people and doing things with them. From the perspective
of being a spouse now, it’s diffi cult to form friendships.” — Jillian Black
