[quote=Anonymous]26 year Marine wife here. I assume it’s similar for all services, but Marine wives really take care of each other, from Day 1. Childcare is never an issue, whether through the CDC, or calling up a wife in the same unit. All sorts of activities for kids and families bases abound and are extremely cheap or free. Because we’re all in the same boat (pun intended), no one adopts a negative or woe is me attitude. Wives of senior NCOs are a Godsend to a new wife whether officer or enlisted. They know the ins and outs of Marine family life and how to get stuff done. MCCS has also improved a ton. You move a lot, but base resources are all pretty similar so after a couple PCSs it becomes old hat. It is a bit of a cloistered life, but in a way it has to be as only another military wife knows what we go through and speaks the same language. I wouldn’t want to have lived any other way.[/quote]
