In this engaging episode of the Ones Ready Podcast, we have the pleasure of chatting with Mrs. Ashley, known affectionately as the five-star commander of AMC. As a seasoned military spouse, Ashley shares her unique journey alongside her husband through his military career. 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. Ashley emphasizes the value of community involvement and encourages new military spouses to engage with support groups to build resilience and camaraderie.
Highlighting resources like the Five and Thrive website and Military One Source, Ashley provides invaluable advice for new military spouses, offering insights into navigating the unique aspects of military life, from understanding military language to accessing support for various needs.
The episode also delves into the perspective shift that comes from being both the deployed member and the one left at home, shedding light on the multifaceted nature of military family dynamics. Ashley's entrepreneurial venture with her Etsy shop and her active role in initiatives like the Badger certification for the Squadron Command Course reveal her dedication to making a positive impact within the military community.
Tune in to this episode of the Ones Ready Podcast for an enlightening conversation that not only celebrates the often-unsung heroes behind the uniform but also offers practical advice and a dose of inspiration for those embarking on or navigating the journey of military life as a spouse.
