75. Army Spouse Life & Spending 8 out of 12 months apart - a podcast by Beck Rayner

In this week's podcast episode I talk to Zoe about the first few years of being an Army spouse and the ups and downs of spending 8 out of the last 12 months apart from her military husband.

 

 

Zoe and I also talk about;

• Why keeping busy was key while her Husband was away doing his initial training
• Her first posting experience only a few hours from home
  
• Being flexible with her work options & open to posting around Australia
• Finding out about support & DCO years into her spouse journey
• A deployment, bushfire assist & COVID tasking all in 12 months
• The toll frequent separations have had on her, her husband and their son
• Why the unpredictable nature of defence life has meant she has been unable to return to work
• Her husbands transition home after being gone 8 out of 12 months
• The struggle of living together again and her surprise at how hard that can be
• Her positive outlook on posting, work-life and future separations
