3. Self Development/Interests
 Blue Star Families 2013 Lifestyle Survey
Blue Star Families recently released the findings of its fourth annual
Military Family Lifestyle Survey. In the fall of last year, Blue Star Families
surveyed more than 5,100 military family members online to find out the
top concerns of the military community. Among the most important issues
were military child education, the effects of deployment on children, and
military spouse employment. Thirty-five percent of respondents listed
pay/benefits as the top issue of military family life. At the survey release
briefing held at the Capitol Visitors Center, guests were addressed by
Senate and House Military Family Caucus Co-Chairs Congresswoman
Cathy McMorris-Rodgers and Congressman Sanford Bishop, along with a
panel of military family members, service members, and military
community leaders that fleshed out the survey findings further. The full
report is available to read or download here.
MyMilitaryLife, Now with 10 Life Paths
 The National Military Family Association announced that their popular
first-of-its-kind mobile app now features 10 life paths to help military
families navigate the many adventures the military takes them on. With
more than 10,000 official military and community support websites
providing information for military families, it is often difficult to navigate
which sites are supplying credible information. Families are left scouring
the internet to try and piece together the best resources to support the next
steps in their life. For the first time families have access to trusted
information right at their fingertips, specifically identified for their current
life challenges and goals. Life Paths include deployment, having a baby,
moving, and spouse employment, and some of the app’s key features
include customized to-do lists, push notifications, and due date reminders.

with the opportunity to reconnect –as a family. We are using

beautiful outdoor locations in order to provide fun family
oriented activities, new memory making, and the ability to
spend quality time together. Specially adapted
communication activities developed by FOCUS (Families
OverComing Under Stress ™) ensure families return home
stronger. Families are able to connect in a “purple”
environment that brings families from all ranks and services
including National Guard and Reserve components together
as a community. We are climbing, hiking, canoeing, bonding,
eating s’mores, and more!
