14 Memes for Your Milspouse Life

Whether you are getting ready for your 3rd PCS or just started your 1st deployment, milspouse life is unique and comes with its own challenges. Some days will be easier than others. Some years will be easier than others. Here are some milspouse memes to help you through…:)

If you have ever been through a deployment before, you have probably been through these stages. #4 can be the hardest but #5 makes you feel like the strongest person in the world.

One of the best feelings is to be reunited with a good friend! Good thing the military world is so small.

Yes, yes it can 🙁 Just remember, deployments don’t last forever.

Having your own battle buddy on the homefront will make any deployment a bit easier. You two know what missing your spouse is like and how hard solo parenting can be.

Seriously! Deployments don’t go by too fast…they usually go at a snail’s pace. So never say that to someone about their deployment.

Yep, they wouldn’t happen any other weekend…of course not. Gotta love the drill weekend.

Would the military please make up its mind??? You just want to know where you will be living!

Just keep at it, friends will come, even if it takes a while.

Truth! Remember this! It will save you some heartache and frustration.

Basically, be a good person 🙂

If you need help, ask for you. Some couples need a little extra help to get through the time after a deployment.

Yes. Never stop the love! Keep it flowing, even across the ocean. Say it as often as you can.

Yes, be kind. You never know who just say goodbye to their husband. We might all be dealing with something.

Each day down is another day closer. You got this! You really do!

22 Memes All About Military Marriage

Military marriage is a journey. You never really know what you are getting yourself into. Whether your spouse joined five years into your civilian marriage or you walked down the aisle to see your spouse in uniform, knowing that marrying him meant becoming a military spouse. Military marriage has unique challenges. We spend months away from our spouses, we play mom and dad more often than not, we have to PCS and move a lot more often and we might be missing our own families a little more than we want to be.

Here are 22 memes all about military marriage! Can you relate???

Remember to keep saying I love you, no matter how far apart you are.

Sometimes military marriage is all about being trustworthy, patient, loving, creative and understanding!

Such an important thing to remember! Remember you love each other, even from miles away.

Remember, this is one of your difficult moments, every couple has them.

Seriously! That would be the best news ever!

19 Memes that Explain What PCSing is Really Like

19 Memes that Explain What PCSing is Really Like

Have you been through a PCS this year? PCS stands for “Permanent Change of Station” and happens when someone in the military has received orders for a new location. Pcsing is a process and one that can bring on a lot of stress.

There is always so much to do during a PCS. You have to prepare for the movers to come or start packing if you are going to do that part of the move yourself. You will have to get certain papers signed and filled out. Your service member will have to do certain things around your current duty station. You will have to find a new place to live, sometimes with getting to see what is there in person.

Then there is the emotional side to pcsing. Saying goodbye to your home, your friends and watching your children do the same. Pcsing can be difficult, for both you and your children. PCSing can also be a great thing, especially if you are excited about your new duty station.

Here are some memes that understand the experience…

Sometimes it is hard to know what PCS really stands for. I think both of these could apply.

You might not get a say with where you go next, but it can be fun to dream. If only the military could give us exactly what we wanted in a new duty station.

Military life means moving often. Although some military families buy houses, we did, not all feel like they should. They are waiting until after military life to find their forever home.

Yes! You will have memories no matter where you go. You will treasure them. It doesn’t matter how many duty stations you end up at, you will always remember certain people and the fun you had at each location.

Yep! I have 3 kids and they were all born in different places. Life of a military family.

PCSing means waiting on orders and other paperwork. Hurry up and wait. Get it all done and then have to wait longer than you think you should.

Being in a military family means having to go to a lot of different schools. Sometimes that is a good thing, sometimes it isn’t.

So many things on your PCS to-do list but saying goodbye to your friends is the hardest thing you will have to do.

If you are a military spouse for a longer period of time, you might have to pcsing with a toddler, or a teen. I am not sure what would be harder to do?

I don’t like saying goodbye, I would rather say see you later…

Seriously! Your PCS could be delayed because people went on vacation or had a sick day.

What have you been saving for a future home?

Yes, we say we are not going to stress but then we do. Oh well!

The Army doesn’t have a lot of beach choices…sigh.

I love that as a military spouse I have met so many people from all over the US and the World.

Yes, just remember that at the end of the PCS is a new home, new friends, and new memories to be made.

The military will drive you nuts when you are waiting for something to happen. Whether it is a PCS or a deployment coming to an end.

Yep! You wait forever and then boom, things happen and they happen fast. The next thing you know you are on an airplane waving goodbye to your former home.

Home is where the military sends you. What does your list look like? This is ours 🙂

Memes That Explain Exactly What Life As A Military Spouse Is Really Like

Military life is an adventure of its own. You really have to have lived this life to understand. Some of the things us military spouses go through are rather unique. It’s nice to know we are not alone in our struggles and in our excitements along the way. From PCSing to deployments to figuring out how the military works.

Military spouses come from different places in the US and the world. They come from different backgrounds. They have different belief systems and have different ways of looking at this life. The main thing they have in common is a love for their service member and a desire to do what they can to support them in this life.

Here are some of the military spouse memes that sum up the reality of military life and the situations that all of us can relate to.

It’s so hard when people want us to put our phones away. We can’t. Our spouse lives in our phone.

So much the truth. There is a plan, a new plan, back to the old plan. Keeping up can be difficult. You just have to go with the flow and accept this is the reality.

You have to have tools to get you through the hardest parts of military life. What would you add to this list?

Seriously! It took us so long to join my husband in Germany because of this. It’s hard to wait on paperwork and even more so when you know the delay is probably just because someone is taking their time to fill out their part of it.

I have these super cute coffee curtains that don’t fit in my current house. They did a few houses ago and I hope I can use them again in the future.

I think we can all understand this one…

Have lived both civilian lives and a military one, this is true. It;s just so different once they join the military.

Dance…

I will never forget our homecomings. They were such special days for us.

My deployment to-do list is always so long and I never get through most of it. I am glad to have a list to focus on. That helps when the deployment slows down and I just want to speed it up.

Solo parenting can be difficult. Have a cereal night when you need to.

There are so many times when military life doesn’t make sense. That is just how it works.

Exactly! We are not special. We have just grown stronger because we have had to.

I have done this so many times. I know I should park in the same place every time but I don’t.

Yes!

This is the most important thing to remember while you are a military spouse. Sometimes the military does have to come first. That can be hard to accept but it is better if you do. Remember, your service member loves you and misses you as much as you miss him.
