Military Families Are Still Suffering From High Operational Tempos

Well, Duh! Ya think so. Nothing much has changed for the service members or the spouses to feel any differently than at the first of 2016, or the end of 2015. Low pay, gone almost constantly on deployments, and Jody making visits, doesn't do well for a solid marriage.

I wouldn't like it anymore than these spouses do, but what can you do, besides suck it up until the end of your service contract.
