Due to the number of military families living
overseas, a separate set of
European Links has been added to this site. As you continue to
share information about Europe and other overseas installations with
the
webmaster, additional
pages/links will be added.

Since this is an "all spouses, all branches" website,
let's start with the generic resources available to all
military spouses. After those, you will find resources dedicated to
your specific branch, or locale. The list of online chat rooms, web
rings, discussion boards and forums dedicated to the support of U.S.
military families is a long and impressive list that warrants its
own dedicated page ~ please click on "networking". Please visit
often to see what's new.
