Well, here is it in a nutshell. From Alpha to Zulu, it’s my ABC’s of military life. Because I choose not to discuss which branch of the military my husband is in, my list is pretty broad. I can’t wait to see more branch-specific terms from all of you!
So post your Alpha to Zulu list on your blog and link it up below!
I’m keeping the linky open all week so spread the word. I’ve made a tab at the top of my blog called Alpha to Zulu, and I’ll be adding everyone’s contributions into one master list as well as the link to all of the contributors’ blogs at the bottom of that list. I also have 2 buttons for you to choose from. The buttons will link to the tab, not this post! That way, you can keep the button on your sidebar so whenever anyone asks you what life is like as a military spouse, you can tell them to click on that button to find out! (You do not have to participate in order to post the buttons. Please, go ahead and grab them!)
