The Military Working Mom

The Balancing Act of Dual Military Life (featuring Kathryn Munera)

Episode Summary

If you are dual military you will inevitably have these conversation with your spouse… Where can we be stationed together next assignment? Who’s career will take priority and who’s will take a back seat? Who do we put on our Family Care Plan? Who will stay home with the sick kids this time? …and it gets more complicated then longer you both stay in and make rank. In this episode you will hear Kathryn Munera’s journey through life and in her Army career as a dual military couple. She is faced with the struggles of PCS’ing while pregnant, deploying multiple times immediately postpartum both with and without her husband, reintegrating back into the family, choosing who’s career will take the lead, deciding to stay in or separate to be with family, and eventually decide when enough is enough. If you are dual spouse you will absolutely relate to her story. If you are looking at jumping into a relationship just be prepared for the reality of what can occur. We all have our own stories, and I hope you enjoy listening to hers.
