Julia Speaks.

"Okay well join the rest of the world who has to figure out how to pay for school. I'm a woman and veteran and I understand the frustration. However, our county is in DEBT. We can't afford to hand out money to everyone. My sister is a military wife and most of my friends are. However, I will say I find most spouses feel entitled. You do a lot and we thank you. However, we can't fork over money every time you ask. Get over it and do what most people do. Get scholarships apply for loans and then join a group of us that will be paying off college until our kids go to college. Suck it up and DRIVE ON!"

This was taken from yahoo news. I would like the world to know that military wives did not ask for this program. The DOD asked families what is important to them. Getting an education that you can take with you when you move was at the top of the list. This was Secretary Gates brainchild!!!!!!!!

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.
