You will not be let down with this latest episode! We bring you all kinds of chit chat this time around; a history lesson, food (I mean of course!), murder, some great information, you name it we probably talked about it. 

Veronica gives us the horrible story of former Marine, John Battaglia Jr. This is a trigger warning if you do not like stories involving kids. Listener discretion is advised.

Then Jen gives us some great information on some new changes with the Post 9/11 GI bill. More information to come about the GI bills themselves in future episodes, so stay tuned!

We've talked about it before, and now we have an actual episode on it. Thanks to a listener recommendation, today we are covering the Camp Lejeune Water Contamination Scandal. Now I feel like I only was able to scratch the gigantic surface of this but I have all the links on this scandal that lasted decades. 

Then Veronica gives us some great information on what to look out for when talking to a "military member" online. Do you think you may be being catfished? Well tune in and listen to what to look out for. Number one, do NOT send money! And Veronica also gives us some great recommendations on what to binge and what to stay away from on Netflix and Hulu.

Please excuse ALLLLLL of the technical difficulties we had with this episode, well mostly Jen had with her recording. HA! You should know who we are by now but if not, Hi! We are your hosts of DEPENDAsplaining the Podcast, Jen and Veronica! 

This week Veronica gives us the terrible double murder of Army Veteran PFC Samuel "Sam" Herr and Juri "Julie" Kibuishi. Listen in and you'll understand why you cannot trust your broke neighbor.

We then pay tribute to the 13 fallen heroes of the suicide bombing at Kabul Airport. Again we send our deepest sympathies to the surviving families and those who have worked alongside those taken too soon. 

And finally Jen gives us the basics on ERD or Early Return of Dependents. This only applies to overseas locations but does not include Alaska. 

We love brining you new content every week. Thank you for listening and don't forget to rate and subscribe!

Welcome back to another episode to DEPENDAsplaining. This week Jen gives us a very sad story that deals with murder in the VA hospital. Kristen Gilbert was given the nickname, Angel of Death, by coworkers after a suspicious amount of patients started dying on her watch. Then Veronica gives us some great, informative information on the new rules of travelling with an Emotional Support Animal. It's not the news everyone will be happy about unfortunately, but it is news you do need to know about. She then also gives us great tips on what to do to prepare for PCSing with your pets.
