As a new wife to the Army, I had no clue what I was doing when I arrived in Fort Stewart to begin my new life. Nothing made sense, and it took me tons of embarrassment, nagging at my husband, and endless google searches to figure out the basics. I wasn't given a handbook or manual on how to behave, either. I purchased a book that outwardly looked helpful, but it was the same useless information I could have pulled up on the community website. This book offers honest, easy to read, and straight forward information that most spouses must have upon entering into a totally new world. In the back of this book you will find a helpful glossary containing words and acronyms (and interesting slang terms) that commonly confuse spouses, with a to-the-point definition.
