As we take a hard look at Quality-of-Life measures for the DOD, military spouse employment MUST be a part of the conversation. According to the Blue Star Family’s 2023 Military Family Lifestyle Survey, this is the number one concern for Active Duty Spouses. There is nearly 600,000 civilian spouses of active-duty military service members. Military Spouse unemployment sits around 21% and underemployment is believed to be 31-51% among military spouses. Military spouse employment gets increasingly more difficult when stationed overseas due to the varying SOFA agreements with individual host nations. Providing better understanding the specific SOFA agreement for each duty location overseas would make huge strides to improving military spouse employment and thus Quality-of-Life for our military families. #HomefrontReadiness #QualityofLife #MilitarySpouse #MilitarySpouseEmployment #KnowBetterDoBetter -Blue Star Families: Military Family Lifestyle Survey (2023) https://lnkd.in/etnMK8KC -Understanding Status of Forces Agreements: https://lnkd.in/evs83VDU

A bit dated and yet the numbers haven't changed (except maybe the budget!). Sharing this still very relevant piece from Rosemary Williams noting $54-$186M per year spent by DoD on military spouse employment programs, citing a GAO report (2012). https://lnkd.in/evjFW5Bv Military spouse unemployment is 21%. The READINESS Act (H.R. 6462 and S. 3530) is a meaningful, no-cost solution to help federally employed military spouses retain their employment. #militaryspouseemployment #militaryspouseretention #federalemployees

Some very important stories and lessons here, I am looking forward to hearing more and how this can be changed for the better
Our important work would not have been possible without the courage of people with lived experience of military suicide coming forward and sharing their story, and the support of the broader Defence and veteran community. Hear from some of those who participated in the Royal Commission about why they got involved. #DVSRC

To all those active and retired servicemembers discouraging friends and family from joining the military . . . Stop. And to all the media outlets doing the same, please stop. Whether you’re like me and obtained a no-money-down mortgage on a single family home at the age of twenty-two (underwritten by the Department of Veteran Affairs), or are about to graduate with a law degree (paid for by the Department of Veteran Affairs), your military service helped you get where you are today. Think about the long-term benefits you enjoy because of your military service before you disparage military life because bi-weekly paychecks for junior enlisted members aren’t all they could be. But also remember that military service often requires giving more than you receive. Not surprisingly, a pretty famous Naval officer (and President) once said “ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country.” Higher paychecks likely won’t fix the “recruiting crises,” but more respect for those who serve just might. UPDATE: Thank you all for your interest in this important topic! Let's keep the conversation going. My motivation for this post came from a recent Military Times OpEd, linked below: https://lnkd.in/ecZUqGJJ
