Dear Salty: Why is OCONUS the worst?

from Salty Milspouse

PCSing overseas can be the worst. The process to actually move overseas is ridiculous. Then you get to a whole different world where the isolation hits harder, nothing works the way it “should,” and suddenly even buying groceries feels like an Olympic sport. In this episode, we’re talking honestly about why overseas moves can knock military spouses flat—and why it’s okay to hate parts of it. And then… there’s the plot twist. Because if you’re willing (and we mean willing, not just magically or toxically positive), overseas life can also be wildly life-changing. It’s not all sunshine and sushi—but sometimes it is really dang worth it.
