Hey! You! New around here?

Every so often, we learn of a new wave of folks that have found SpouseBUZZ and are making those first, tentative steps into our corner of the blogosphere.  You've been around probably and seen many of the other wonderful and informative blogs that while they piqued your interest, just maybe missed the mark.

Please allow me to say to you, Welcome!  As a military spouse, this is your place to listen to, and read about, and relate with other spouses of military members from all over the place.  Here you'll soon see just how we transcend Service, rank, branch, and yes, gender.  This is your place to come together and relate your experiences with others as who knows?, you just may hold the key to someone else's brighter future.  Laugh with us, cry with us, but most importantly, stay the course with us, for the authors will keep it humming, but it's you that makes it worthwhile for all of us. 

Some of you see your turn "in the bucket" being less than 60 days away.  Hug your mate and be with them like never before until they step to their "chalk," then come back to see us.  We'll be here to keep you company until they return.

Welcome to the BUZZ; and know that all of our prayers are with each of you who are about to send your mate into harm's way.  With hat-in-hand, I'm Over & Out, MaintenanceToadOne

I am new around here. I was nosing around for any info/support groups for women like me. this is the closest I have found so far... I am not a wife of an active military man. I am a girlfriend of an Iraq War Veteran. I did not know him when he was active. I met him through my brother who is also an Iraq War Veteran who worked at the VA when they became best friends. I have become very smpathetic and understanding of the vet who suffers from PTSD. My boyfriend has symptoms that effect his daily life, and in turn effect me. I am thirsty for any knowledge or experience of others. I am happy I found SPOUSE BUZZ and look forward to making new friends!

My name is Samantha Allen and I am a veteran who now supports our Troops and their families through my music!

OCEANS BETWEEN US is a song that a number of Troops in Baghdad and Balad have been so wonderful about sharing with their spouses and girlfriends, that we had to send out over 500 CDs to them and their loved ones!

It was written for me while my own husband was in Iraq and has become somehwat of a theme song for some! You can hear it at my website at www.samanthaallenonline.com and it is availabloe for download for 99 cents: Beth from Soldier's Angels and I spoke this afternoon about my being a featured artist for JULY as the full CD comes out mid June,and she suggested that I also contact you all--- I would GREATLY appreciate any support you could give me so we can continue to share this song with servicemembers and their families--- the funds for the single sold online help us supply more free CDs for our Troops!!

Thanks so much and please feel free to contact me with any questions!
