Welcome to Friday! This week, Margaret and Marshall sit down with friend and fellow milspouse Laurain Hackett to discuss a special mode of partnership: the dual military household. In a dual military household, both partners and/or caregivers are servicemembers, often pursuing radically different career goals ,and often on opposing deployment timelines. Join Laurain and Marshall as they swap stories about the unique challenges and benefits to being a dual military spouse, including how to decide where to live (and whether to live together), and how to reconcile one’s identity as a “dependent.”
If you have a story to share with the project, send an email to milspouseoralhistoriesproject@gmail.com or find the project on Instagram @milspouseoralhistoriesproject.
