Penelope is actually my dog. We got her a few months ago right before the deployment. She is now six months old. We decided on the name because Penelope was Odysseus' wife in Homer's Odyssey. She is a shepard mix mutt, and is the cutest dog alive. Her older brother, Moose is a lab mix and he is hanging in there after 14 years.
I have found it difficult to navigate the turbulent waters that arise when you are attached to the military. I thought I could share and share alike some of the resources I have accumulated over the last few years. I grew up a military brat and have lived on many different Army bases: Fort Hood, TX, Fort Polk, LA, Germany (multiple posts), Monterey, CA, Fort Riley, KS, Carlisle, PA, Washington D.C., Fort Knox, KY. I am sure I am leaving out a couple.
I have learned a few things moving around, specifically- how to get settled in and how to do research before getting to an area. There are not a lot resources out there for new spouses and people attached to the military, and the Army isn't a lot of help, assuming you'll figure it out after a couple of moves.
I am going to give this a try to see if I can't get some good information on this site, so wish me luck.
All the best,
Penelope's mom.
