I'm 23, from a small town in Wisconsin, black River falls, joined the Air Force at 18 in 2017, did 4 years in Wisconsin, moved to Jacksonville, Florida in September 2021. I'm a medic in the Air Force.

Topics you want to discuss

My current failures by the criminal justice system and the military side of things. The 4th judicial circuit in Duval County, Florida is failing me and I know thousands of others as well. We need to bring public light to this to make change happen.

 Army wife of 12 years. Stay at home mom and small business owner. Huge advocate of volunteerism within the military community and building connections at each duty station. 
 Military Spouse, SFRG, Volunteering, Unit Morale. 

I just want to encourage all spouses and service members to give their unit SFRG a shot. If your unit doesn't have an active SFRG, perhaps consider starting one! 

A good SFRG leader is inclusive, positive and encourages communication! In the military unit, we don't have to all be "best friends", but we ARE a community. A community made up of unique personalities and strengths bound by the common thread of LOVE for our service member. The SFRG community should be a welcoming, open, and soft place for people to land after a PCS where they take comfort in knowing they aren't "alone" at any duty station or during any deployment. 

The military lifestyle is far from easy. But what's kept us around for 12 years now is, equal parts, the call to serve and the military community that's become our family.
