    SHOW LESSJessica’s journey from active duty member in the Air Force to stay at home mom shines a light on a lot of the challenges spouses face. Sometimes spouses are stranded without their Air Force community, sometimes it’s hard to find your place, and sometimes it’s hard to feel like you’re more than “just a spouse” or “just a stay at home mom”.
