  5. Any Army husband and wives out there?

    just_cause replied to JennNJ83's topic in Government, Military

    Personally to the OP I would recommend looking at working as a nurse in the fed arena as an option. There is a hiring preference for military spouse and perhaps it enables a way to avoid dual...

  6. Any Army husband and wives out there?

    just_cause replied to JennNJ83's topic in Government, Military

  11. Questions about ANC.
