Running head: MILITARY SPOUSES AND THE CHALLENGES OF MILITARY 1 Military Spouses and the Challenges of Military Life DANITZA JAMES Saint Leo University MILITARY SPOUSES AND THE CHALLENGES OF MILITARY Abstract Army life is unique to say the least. The subculture, with its own language, rules, acronyms and ways, is foreign to the general population. The Global war on Terrorism has brought more awareness and certainly more curiosity about Army life. (Krajeski, 2006, 2008, p. 5).Today, more than ever, the military spouse is a pioneer who travels to strange lands, rears her

Sexton helps one visualize something as small as a baby, who is learning We first realize this stanza is about the life of a soldier when Sexton writes, “If you faced the death of bombs and bullets” (14). Soldiers witness a lot of tragedy and are put into situations where it’s a matter of life or death. Sexton writes, “You did not fondle the weakness inside you / though it was there” (18-19). When one is at war there is no doubt one may feel cowardly, but the best thing to do is not embrace it and not let fear take over. In this stanza courage can be shown through other ways. Sexton describes an event when one soldier dies for his friend. She writes, “Then his courage was not courage / it was love; love simple as shaving soap” (24-25). Even if one is not a soldier, Sexton puts it in a way anyone could relate to. Out of love people are bound to do courageous

Awareness of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) extends the criteria for a diagnosis increase, additional cases are being disclosed among U.S. military veterans. Since the attack on September 11th on the World Trade Center, Pentagon, and Flight 93 in Pennsylvania, more than two million troops have been deployed in Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) and Operation Iraqi Freedom. Included in the two million troops, it is roughly calculated that over 800,000 troops have seen the battlefield at least two times if not more throughout the years which they have served time of service. From results of many conflicts being fought by the United

Love is a really beautiful thing, but it isn’t everything you have to live for. In life, you will need many things other than love to survive. In “Sonnet XXX of Fatal Interview” by Edna St. Vincent Millay, a poem written as a Shakespearean sonnet, an anonymous speaker discusses how your world doesn’t revolve around love yet you need it in your your life. The sonnet starts off with the speaker’s direct objective of informing the reader “Love is not all” but ends with an opposing purpose that they would not give up love for anything. In order for the speaker to figure out the importance and value of love to themselves, they will have to learn the difference between what they truly desire and require.

Challenges Faced by Military Families During the National Leadership Summit on Military Families, held in 2009, Mrs. Gail McGinn, the Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness, delivered the keynote address for the Summit. In Mrs. McGinn’s keynote speech, she acknowledged the progress that has been made in supporting military families since the 1980’s while emphasizing the facts surrounding the issues of the current conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. Mrs. McGinn stated that “the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan are placing military families under more strain than at any time in the era of the All-Volunteer Force, and more needs to be done to ensure that programs and policies are able to meet current challenges” (Booth, Segal, & Place, 2009). During that Summit the top five challenges identified were; the challenges of the deployment cycle, the psychological health of military families, the access to services and consistency of

When writing the Daily Writing, there was a few quotes that had a lot to do with displaying the meaning of love. One of my favorite entries I wrote about was on April 3, 2018 written by the author Lewis. In this entry it discusses how love is the reason people are capable of living everyday. When I wrote this entry, I learned about myself that I do need love in order to survive. This passage made me really think of the person I can become when I don’t have love. I wish I would have provided a better example for this entry. I think it would have been stronger if I would have given an example from my past experience. I also wish I would of wrote more about the things I do have in my life that I am thankful for and that I do love. I think my entries would have showed more affection and sentimental meaning if I would have provided the love I

In a perfect world, he would realize that I'm the one he was supposed to be with & I would still be standing here waiting for him still when he finally knows this. But this isn't a perfect world and people do get hurt. Because how can you give your dreams to someone else, yet share your dreams with me? Sometimes the truest love is the love that can never be"
