Happy New Year! This week, Marshall and Margaret jettison any hope of listeners and discuss the apparently emotionally fraught issue of work and career in this milspouse life. Do we work? Can we work? Is there work available for us to do? Do we have enough work without working? These questions have different answers at different duty stations, and reflect in varied ways against our servicemembers’ careers and our own personal career goals. As Margaret and Marshall eventually admit, sometimes the only job we can do is no job at all.
