in Motivation and Support
Looking for some friends to help support and encourage each other during the ups and downs of military life. Doesn't matter who you are, what branch you serve, or if you're retired or active duty. :flowerforyou:

Look forward to meeting new people!!

    Hey everyone! My name is Katie and I've been with my AD USAF husband for 12 years, married for 9 next month! We've been stationed in ND, WA, OK, and currently OH and only have 5 years left until retirement...wohoo!!

    I've been maintaining my weight for a year, and no,not on purpose. Who knew those last 10lbs would be so hard to shed? LOL

    We will be stationed at Ramstein AFB. It's our second time in Europe, but the first was fifteen years ago. I'm sure lots has changed since then! Looking forward to the experience and the traveling though.

    Hello Military spouse here to AD Air Force! We have been married for over 19 years. Lived overseas in Europe for over 9 nine years. I am an island girl from Honolulu, HI ... I could not have asked for a more adventuous lifestyle in following my husband to his next duty station. I have friends all over the world that I keep in contact with on a normal basis! Love it!

    Katie ~ Wow!! That's a lot of moves! were you a 'brat' before? ;-P

    Welcome Rosalie! I've been to HI once and absolutely loved it :) I also love having friends all over the world

    Kimmi ~ My best friend from HS is there right now and isn't loving it. Especially with everything escalating the way it is, they get to move back to the states in June and she is so excited

    Can it only be new friends or do ones you already know count? :wink:
    I can always use some new friends to help keep me motivated. Hubby leaves on Friday for a 6 month deployment, it will only make it tougher to loose the weight.
    I am an AF brat then I married back into it! DH has been in for over 15 years and we have been married for 12 years on the 20th. We have 4 boys ages 10 years to 5 months and they keep me pretty busy. We met when my dad got orders to New Mexico & my husband was sationed there. Then we got orders to Germany for 4 1/2 years back to the states, Texas and now we are stationed in Idaho.
    I am hoping to really lose some weight this time, I haven't been doing to well since the birth of #1. Since giving birth to baby #4 I have lost almost 40lbs & am about to reach my 1st goal weight but I hope to get off atleast another 20lbs while hubby is gone.

    Army wife of 18 yrs here and mother of 2 teens...stationed at Grand Forks AFB in ND. Husband is an ROTC instructor at UND. Just got back from Germany. Where about are you going to be Kimmi? I loved it there and wish i could go back..but we've already hit 20yrs in and it's not likely. Love the idea of military wives supporting each other on here :D Hooah!

    Lived in Hawaii for 3 yrs. Really really miss L&L's hot macaroni salad.. that stuff was soooo yummy!!

    Katie- Actually, not looking forward to him retiring so soon. With this economy, he would be better off extending his retirement. We have talked about doing just that a few times, but it isn't set in stone just yet. I am totally jealous you are in Ohio- that is where I am from and we just spent two years stationed there, about 15mins from where I grew up. I want to go back home so bad :(

    Christi ~ Of course you can join :) Welcome aboard!

    Thanks Jamie!

    Leah ~ a year? so so hard! You will be HOT when he returns!! (of course you are already beautiful!)

    Chroi ~ I am so excited to go back home to ND you have no idea! My friend is getting married in may :)

    Eb~ We LOVE it here! Especially coming from Altus AFB, Ok...this is heaven! :) Hubby is going through AFIT so we on have one more year left before they move us somewhere else. We are so blessed that he gets to get a Master's degree while in, because he can't do his job outside of the Air Force. Hoping the economy is better in 5 years, because he is very unlikey to stay past 20

    I am a AF (retired)daughter and AF(discharged)sister and Navy(active TO reserve) wife and Navy(active AND reserve)sister.... lol. Anyone can feel free to add me as a friend! The more friends, the more support. I've currently found myself making better fitness choices and hitting bigger fitness goals than my Sailor...and it's (for lack of a better word) AWESOME! I plan on running circles around him by the end of the year and at this rate I could be there before summer. LOL

    We have been to CA, NC, SC, GA, KY, TX . Didn't get the chance to go overseas but had a baby in almost every state! LOL. Hopefully staying in TX the rest of the time, let the older one finish high school.

    Thanks for this Kat!
