Many people wonder what it is like to be a pilot’s spouse, especially while you are on TDY and staying in a military crash pad. Although the day-to-day or month-to-month experiences may vary depending on your spouse’s particular airframe and career path, pilots’ spouses share many similar experiences.

The life of a military spouse can produce many challenges. It can be difficult to balance life and a career while also having to move several times and take care of your family.
