  • Hey there! Today's video is all about the do's and don'ts of life as a military spouse! I am still pretty new at this but I have some helpful tips to give to those who are new as well! Come chat with me about all the need to know information that you won't be told beforehand. Let me know if you have any specific questions about military life; I would love to help! Also, if you are a seasoned spouse, let me know if there are tips that I left out! Thanks for watching and I will catch you all in the next upload. I post new videos every Monday and Friday!

    YESS to the baking and cooking thing!! I'm amazed I'm the only spouse in my husband's shop who has ever sent anything.

      Heather McCarthy I’m glad I’m not the only one! Haha Josh was annoyed with me at first and said I’m not his mom and he’s not in elementary school. Guess who makes requests now?! 🤣

    I am not a military spouse. But some of these tips will really help as my future husband has been long distance and ill for almost a year now. We have the changing dates and the uncertainties of news and having to keep connected and keep hope alive. Supporting him as been a challenge since he is experiencing hardships that I am not while I cannot be there physically with him due to Covid. Thank you for your tips

    Another reason to always have your ID is it's your insurance card! So if you have an accident or something you need it!

    • @BBMcHugh
      @BBMcHugh  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, it was awful when we first figured it out! We felt so bad! We know better now. We let them help if it’s a big load but we tip well when we do that!

    Hello, If you don’t mind me asking. How old was your husband when he joined? My husband is 28 and he’s enlisting next week! I’m 25, i feel like we’re old In the military world 😂 thank you for this video ❤️ love from Texas

    • @BBMcHugh
      @BBMcHugh  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hey! He will definitely be on the older side of his flight but it’s not too big of a deal! We know several who joined later in life! I think they typically get treated better for not being young and dumb lol my husband was 23 when he joined and was considered “old”. Haha
