What’s in the latest edition…
Read about her struggle for a diagnosis and her mission to help other military women with the condition.
She’s just one of the hidden voices featured in the summer edition of Army&You, which is out now.
We look at the lives of personnel who may sometimes go unnoticed, like Reservists, those from non-UK backgrounds and those whose families don’t consist of a male soldier with a civvy wife and children.
Wherever you are
If you’ve ever wondered what a posting to the Falklands could be like Sarah gives you the lowdown on penguins, family life in the South Atlantic.
Amy takes us through the ups and downs of a last minute posting to Sennelager – improved quality of life, limited employment opportunities and how Local Overseas Allowance (LOA) helped.
We talk to AFF founder Lady Elizabeth Kitson, who battled military indifference and hostility when she realised military families needed a proper support organisation. The idea, which became the Federation of Army Wives Clubs and later AFF, was born when she saw the plight of fellow wives struggling with single parenting and loneliness during a deployment.
And we update you on some of the recent developments in support for personnel and families, including SFA, employment and those in long-term relationships.
