Military Life: Then and Now

Have you ever wondered if other milspouses struggle with the same experiences as you? How do your concerns compare to the concerns of other families? When using military or civilian services, have you caught yourself wishing they understood you better?


Here's your chance. Help Blue Star Families by taking their survey here. The survey deadline is June 21.


Blue Star Families, founded in 2009, has a very simple mission: to strengthen military families by connecting them to their communities. One of the best ways to do that is by finding out what the most important issues are for service members and their families by asking the source. The survey is created with the help of the Institute for Veterans and Military Families, an organization that works with multiple entities, both government and private, to aid transitioning service members and their families.


About the Survey


Each year, BSF and IVMF release a survey called the Military Family Lifestyle Survey that offers a detailed analysis of what service members and their families experience in military life. The annual survey is often used to inform political leaders, local communities, and philanthropic organizations of the needs of service members and their families. While the survey has evolved over the years to encompass multiple aspects of military life, it generally asks questions related to demographics, top concerns, spouse employment, mental health, operational tempo, community support, and more. But the survey is only as good as the number of people who take it.
