Our "job"

This week on the show I am speaking with Karen Houppert about the research and information she obtained by being with three different military (Army) spouses at Ft Drum, NY.

We talked about the workload of being a single parent, and about moving etc. We also talked about the extreme volunteer load that most of us take on and that we end up being "de facto employees" of the DA without ever seeing a dime. How many volunteer hours do you think that you put in on a weekly or monthly basis? What activities do you participate in? Do you participate in them because you like them or because you feel like you have to do them? Let's discuss...........
