This week, we unexpectedly delve into the first chapters of my own milspouse story. I am a teacher and historian, a mother of three, and a milspouse of nearly 13 years. Big thanks to Marshall Rogers for facilitating a discussion about my introduction to military life, including finding out what ROTC actually does, my adventures being Ranger School-adjacent, and our last-minute wedding with big rom-com vibes. I didn’t know if I was ready to share my story yet, but really, are any of us? Thanks for asking, Marshall.
