This book should be issued to all new spouses.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Today's Military Wife: 4th Edition (Paperback)
"Today's Military Wife", 4th edition, is a great source of reference material. The book should be given to all spouses in all branches of the service. I found the sections on 'Socials and Protocols' very helpful, as well as the section on undertstanding the different ranks and insignias. Some sections, i.e. Your Money and Living Overseas, are very well thought out and provide excellent information. I have refered many new spouses to pick up a copy of this book.

Invaluable Tool for Newbies,
By Sandi Wiseheart (Indiana, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Today's Military Wife: 4th Edition (Paperback)
The author has done a wonderful job of imparting up to date information, as well as interjecting personal thoughts about military life. The book has excellent references throughout for further reading, addresses to obtain information, as well as listings of websites. I will continue to use my copy for a reference book for the remainder of my husband-to-be's career. Of particular help are the chapters on etiquette, and dealing with deployments. Mrs. Sloane has been of great help in authoring this book!

Must Have!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Today's Military Wife: 4th Edition (Paperback)
Although I am an Army Brat and was very familiar with military jargon and protocol, this book helped refresh my memory. I'm a Navy wife of 4 years and this book has been a great resource. You're sure to refer to this book over and over again. The book does a good job of describing things most relevant to military life...like MOVING!!!! Wish it had expanded more on the role of an officer's wife, but it's still a good book. Buy it if you are clueless about military life!
