The Place MilSpouses can TRUST!!

This podcast is a saving grace where Military Spouses and people who support the military community can get trustworthy information. The women behind this podcast are here for the right reasons and simply squared away. With so much negative and biased pull in the media - I am glad (as a Milspouse) there is a relevant outlet who cares about our concerns. Highly recommend this podcast!!
