The conversation begins with a lighthearted query about their early days and quickly delves into the realities of military life, exploring the challenges and joys of being part of a service family.
Ashley reflects on the critical decision points in their journey, where the question "Are we still having fun?" played a pivotal role in their commitment to service. She discusses the importance of support systems, particularly among spouses, and how these networks have been crucial in navigating the complexities of military life, especially during times of deployment and major family events.
The discussion also covers the significance of finding strength and independence as a military spouse, and the transformative experiences that come with the lifestyle.
