This is pretty cool, y’all.
Have you ever wished for a road map when you were going through major military life transitions such as:
- Having a Baby
- Reintegration
- Transitioning out of the military
- Spouse Education
- Spouse Employment
- The Basics
- Survivors
- Deployment
- Moving
- Raising Kids
Well, good news! There is an app for that!
MyMilitaryLife is a new app created by the National Military Family Association to help military spouses navigate the many adventures of military life.
The app provides a customized experience that guides users through different life paths by anticipating their needs and determining appropriate resources for them at a particular stage in military life.
It offers the following features:
- Customized to-do lists
- Tailored resources based on Service branch, location, and needs
- Due date reminders
- Push notifications
- Emergency phone numbers for military families
“Military families shouldn’t have to struggle with finding information they need,” said Executive Director, Joyce Raezer. “MyMilitaryLife serves as a trusted one stop shop providing families with credible information, tailored to their specific situation. We’ve verified the resources and have put it into a format that eliminates the stressful search. Understanding our families are often on the go, it is also important to ensure there is access anytime, anywhere.”
MyMilitaryLife is available through iTunes and Google Play, as well as our web portal.

It breaks my heart when I see a caregiver sharing a story about how their wounded warrior’s Social Security process is taking too long, or gets rejected outright. I’ve been sharing this information for quite some time but we still have a long way to go in educating the combat-injured military community about special benefits…
