DoD dropped the ball on military spouses’ tuition | Editorials - The News Tribune#Comments_Container#Comments_Container


Here is generic story that the Tacoma News Tribune published. I see that the comments are not nearly as nasty and disparaging as they were when Lauren and I were being interviewed. Lauren and I have also noticed that part of the article has statements that we wanted in our own articles and broadcasts that were deleted.

I do like one of the comments made that they liked this welfare program. I do not see this as welfare, but that is okay I guess.

Military spouses do face challenges even attending college. We move so much that most of us are unable to finish a degree at one or even two colleges. I am now attending my third college. It took me ten years to finally finish a two-year degree due to military life and my obligations to taking care of the family.

I am finally realizing my dream of a college education at 42 years old!

About Me

Lauren and Julia are Army spouses. Julia was able to apply for and use the MyCAA grant, and Lauren was too late to sign up. We have done several interviews on television, and in the newspapers. Many Americans wrote very negative responses to our interviews. Many were about how military spouses did not deserve this program. The comments that were left angered us, and this blog is our response to their comments, and what the interviews left out of the story.
