Marching Forward: A Spring Update for Military Spouses

As we embrace the arrival of March, it’s a time for renewal, reflection, and growth. For military spouses, this month offers an opportunity to celebrate your resilience, the strength of your community, and the unique ways you continue to support your families and service members.

Spring Into Action: New Opportunities and Resources

This month, we’re focusing on springing into action with new programs and resources designed to support you in your journey. From financial planning workshops to mental health resources, there’s something for every stage of life and military service. Be sure to check out local base events, virtual meetups, and family-friendly activities to stay connected with other military spouses.

Celebrating Women’s History Month

March also marks Women’s History Month, a time to recognize the incredible contributions of women, including those within our military spouse community. Whether you're managing a household during deployment, pursuing your career, or supporting a loved one in uniform, your efforts deserve recognition. Take a moment this month to reflect on your personal accomplishments and the impact you have on those around you.

National Military Spouse News: Key Updates

In national military spouse news, we’re excited to share the recent announcement of the 2025 Military Spouse Employment Partnership (MSEP) initiative. This program will continue to expand career opportunities for military spouses, offering access to more than 400 employers nationwide. The MSEP aims to help military spouses overcome employment challenges by providing training, networking opportunities, and resources tailored to the unique needs of military families.

Additionally, the DoD’s new Military Spouse Career Accelerator Pilot Program is gaining momentum. This initiative provides spouses with the tools and support needed to pursue high-demand careers in industries such as technology and healthcare. Keep an eye on this program, as it’s a great opportunity for spouses looking to enhance their career paths.

The National Military Spouse Network (NMSN) continues to advocate for better benefits and support, and their latest campaigns are focused on increasing access to affordable childcare and improving PCS (Permanent Change of Station) support for spouses. These initiatives are part of a broader effort to enhance the quality of life for military families and ensure that spouses have the resources they need to thrive.

A Fresh Start for Spring

As the weather warms up, we hope you’ll take time for yourself—whether it’s a quiet moment in nature, exploring a new hobby, or simply resting. Your well-being matters, and this spring, let’s take small steps toward making self-care a priority.

We’re here with you every step of the way. Let’s continue to support one another, grow together, and make this season one of strength and unity.

Stay connected, stay strong, and march forward into a brighter spring!

This cannabis startup pioneered “rapid onset” gummies

Most people prefer to smoke cannabis but that isn’t an option if you’re at work or in public.

That’s why we were so excited when we found out about Mood’s new Rapid Onset THC Gummies. They can take effect in as little as 5 minutes without the need for a lighter, lingering smells or any coughing.

Nobody will ever know you’re enjoying some THC.

We recommend you try them out because they offer a 100% money-back guarantee. And for a limited time, you can receive 20% off with code FIRST20.
