    Moving to One of These Bases? Download Your Military Family Base Guide!

    We know how it is. You get orders to move to a new military installation, and you quickly hop on the base's official site or join a Facebook group. But there are still some holes. How can you really know...where to live, what schools are the best, what the employment outlook is like for military spouses, even what social groups would be a good fit? 

    No more guessing! We've been busy all year creating guides for your military family's relocation, and have now published 10 unique Military Family Guides for various installations. (With more to come, so stay tuned!)

    In the meantime, if you're headed to one of the following locations, take a moment to download that installation's Military Family Guide. We've researched and talked to locals, and then put all that information together for you to have handy as you face your next PCS.

    Want to know more about the neighborhoods where military families live? We've got you covered. Need to understand the unique traffic concerns, where the schools are, or just need an idea for something fun to do on the weekends? Check, check, and check. These short guides are packed with all the above, plus military spouse information, what to expect when you arrive, and where the locals go for the best food and recreation.

    Jen McDonald

    Jen McDonald is the Content Editor for MilitaryByOwner Advertising and an award-winning author, podcaster, and longtime cheerleader for military spouses. Over 30+ years of military life, she raised four kids, supported her husband’s Air Force career, kept a freelance writing career afloat, tracked which state her driver’s license belonged to, and perfected the art of unpacking a house in under three days while pretending she meant to put the coffee mugs in that cupboard. Jen is the author of You Are Not Alone: Encouragement for the Heart of a Military Spouse and Milspouse Matters: Sharing Strength Through Our Stories, books offering encouragement and “been there” wisdom for military families. Her writing has earned numerous awards, including a Gold Medal from the Military Writers Society of America and a Silver Award from Foreword INDIES, proof that scribbling notes on the back of grocery receipts can pay off. She also hosts the Milspouse Matters podcast, sharing stories and encouragement with military families worldwide. Now happily planted in Texas (and hoping to avoid moving trucks for the foreseeable future), Jen is working on her debut cozy mystery novel and reveling in grandparenting, which comes with all the snuggles and none of the 2 a.m. feedings.
