Description: "Personal, friendly, and easy to use, this invaluable resource is based on interviews with current navy spouses and a lifetime of lessons learned by the author as a navy junior and wife of a career naval officer. With an array of hard-to-find facts and figures from a wide variety of sources, Laura Stavridis explains every aspect of navy life in a frank, open discussion.".

"The particulars of pay, living expenses, travel, children, emergencies, support groups, and social life - as well as medical, legal, and educational issues - are described in an interesting, spouse-to-spouse format. Readers learn what to expect with regard to deployment separation, homecomings, life overseas, shore duty, marital dynamics, and divorce. Also covered are such vital topics as military careers, spousal careers, reenlistment, retirement, and transition to civilian life.

Useful appendixes, phone numbers, checklists, and an up-to-date primer on the navy's organization, ships and aircraft, and chain of command complete this one-of-a-kind reference."--BOOK JACKET.
