ParticipantCA Renter, hats off to you! Yes, active duty and families do receive more benefits now. And, yes, the spouses do whine at times, and need to be set straight. However, many are young and do not understand the military, and it seems that new marriages at such a young age with long periods of separation create a greater level of anxiety. Older more established marriages seem to tolerate the separations more effectively. And, most of lower ranking enlisted are young.
Service members can also contact The Fleet and Family Support Center (FFSC) for assistance. There is an FFSC at every base and satellite offices in Murphy Canyon, Serra Mesa and Bayview.

ParticipantThanks for your direction, Ricechex. I don’t know what all these installations are called now in these (now heavily remodeled and upgraded) military housing projects.
Back in 1988, I volunteered a few hours a week in a “Navy Relief” office reviewing applications for emergency travel funds and utility shutoff funds, etc. In almost every case, we had to refer the stateside spouse to a mandatory financial management course given by Navy Relief, as a condition of receiving a loan which was to be garnished from the member’s pay. Many spouses did not even possess a GED, could not balance a checkbook and were “clueless” about household budgets, esp. since they didn’t have any living bills in housing except optional cable and phone. Every payday was like a “cash windfall” to them.
