The MOHP: The Army Wife Handbook

Folks, we may have switched to professional mics, but our professionalism doesn’t reach too far past that. Let’s face it, we’re really just hogging decibels on Charlie’s podcast.

This week, Margaret and Marshall delve into a new segment of the MOHP and discuss excerpts from Crossley and Keller’s The Army Wife Handbook (ABI Press, 1993). After getting over the wonder that there is such a thing (it’s actually green!) and we’ve finally found it (33 years late), we decide to help our friend Laurain out and find the regs about hosting military functions. We deep-dive off-track, but are pretty sure we’ve thrown a decent word potluck at the end. Didn’t even need a food handler’s license. *thumbs-up*
