I Loved My Job.
I’d never had trouble finding employment, but it took time to find my dream job. It was so fulfilling to have a job I enjoyed, and paid what I deserved. This made all those other jobs leading up to it worth it.
Then my husband approaches me about going back into the military. Of course I support and love him, but so many things went through my mind. First came questions about how long he would be gone, and how life would be for our future military children. But I also became scared about what I would do when it comes to work. After all, I worked hard for that job.

In fact, “75% of active duty spouses reported being a military spouse had a negative impact on their ability to pursue employment.” Cristin Orr Shiffer, Senior Advisor of Policy and Survey for BSF, said top factors for the cause were job market alignment and the family demands of a military career.
