Military Family Life

Welcome to Military Family Life!
Since this podcast is about Military family members sharing their experiences and advice, hosts Claudia Beswick and Julie Hollinger kick off this podcast by sharing their own stories.
Claudia Beswick is a Military Spouse and Military Child! In this episode she talks about her many postings, her childhood memories and her love/hate relationship with snow.
Julie Hollinger is also a Military Spouse. She talks about her experiences dealing with the deployments and how they affected her as a wife and mother.
Claudia and Julie both work at the Petawawa Military Family Resource Centre where they have the opportunity to learn from Military families every day.

The book that Julie got from her aunt about Military Life is called "Hurry Up and Wait" by Dianne Collier (Published in 1994) [She talks about it at 4:45]
Claudia's essay about her experiences was included in 'Dreaming Big Being Bold 3: Inspiring Stories From Visionaries, Trailblazers & Change Makers'. It was co-authored Paula Morand and Victoria Craig. [Hear Claudia talk about it at about 18:50.]
