Here’s how military spouses can choose the right college
This is the first in a three-part series sponsored by The American Women’s College of Bay Path University.

Here’s how to help your milkid process difficult feelings
Emotions can be scary. They are big and hard to control. Feelings pop up unexpectedly. Our children might not know how to handle their own feelings, or the emotions of others either.

If the GI Bill transfer rules change, here’s what’s at stake
This is an opinion piece that does not necessarily reflect the views of MilitaryOneClick. It popped up on Facebook first for me. Changes were coming, and it might not be good. And I’m concerned. For over a decade, many troops have used the Post 9/11 GI Bill to further their own education. Additional thousands have […]
