339th Air Force Recruiting Squadron Wolverine Spouse Support Group

Spouse Support

People in life who are the happiest don't have the best of everything... They make the best of what they have.   The purpose of the Wolverine Spouse Support Group is to establish a network whereby spouses can contact each other for information, assistance, and support.    Military families know that military service is not a job, it’s a lifestyle. For families, military service provides endless opportunities for adventure and learning; however, at the same time families are subject to unique challenges and recruiting is a rare hybrid of military life which brings about additional challenges.    While we are still bound, morally and contractually, to our military goals and objectives, we are balancing ourselves between military and civilian life.  We don't have the usual resources afforded to "base stationed" families right at hand.   Therefore, we need to be able to depend on each other when needed.    While we assimilate our military famlies into the civilian sector, let's face it, a lot of times non-military families don't understand the military life or face the same situations that we do.  Our civilian family seems to think that if there's something we don't like, we can just call the General and tell him that we don't like it and it'll get changed.  RIGHT!  They don't quite understand that that's not how it works!  Sometimes you just need to call someone else who's been there, done that.  Someone who knows what it's like and understands what you might be going through.  If you're having a problem, chances are another spouse has been through the same thing.   We may not be able to fix each others problems, but we can listen to each other, bounce ideas off each other, and sometimes just complain until we get it out of our system!  We are truly brothers and sisters-in-arms and need to be there for each other no matter what.  Call upon each other for guidance, support, and understanding.

While this site has been created by the Spouses of the 339th RCS for our spouses, we would like to invite anyone to view the site and see what we've got going on.  If you are a military spouse with another unit that does not have a support group or would just like to talk to someone outside of your own unit, please feel free to contact any of our Support Spouses.  We will do anything we can to be of assistance, even if it's just to lend a friendly ear.  The 339th considers themselves to be one big family and extends that to all of our military "brothers and sisters" around the world. May we never forget.

You are a patriot - the sort of citizen that all of us should be, but so few of us are. You live with sacrifice, because you believe in the rights and ideals that your husband defends. Although you wear no uniform, you are a part of that defense - a vital link in the chain of freedom. Although you wear no medals and will reap no glory on the field of battle, you are hero in the truest sense of the word. You are a military spouse.-Chief Petty Officer Jeff Edwards
