077: Military Life Q & A

The Fitnessista Podcast: Healthy In Real Life

HI friends! How’s the day going? Happy hump day I hope that the week is going well. It rained a ton yesterday, which was LOVELY, and I’ve been getting creative on the workout front with my broken pinky since I can’t lift upper body weights. I’m looking forward to a long run this morning.

I’ve been with the Pilot for most of his military career and it’s funny because leading up to our relationship, I had zero experience with the military. This is a podcast episode I would have liked to listen to when we were first dating! Please keep in mind that I’m only sharing MY experience, which doesn’t mean that it’s the same experience across the board. What it’s like for some people doesn’t mean that it’s like that for everyone, and so many different factors like location, your husband’s unique job, kids, deployments, the squadron and spouse support can all affect your experience.

What’s the most rewarding part about being a military family?

Do you get good health insurance through the military?

New military wife? How do I not make the military my life?

How can I best support a military family when they move?

How do you escape the drama?

How do you rekindle your relationship after being apart for so long?

One thing I expected about the lifestyle that wasn’t true and something that was
