Several years ago, I received a free Sittercity membership to review on Mamanista.com and I appreciated the convenience so much that we have since renewed several times on our own dime.

Now, servicemembers of the Army, Marines, Navy and Air Force (active, reserve or guard) and their families now have a Free Membership to Sittercity to help them find the perfect local caregiver for their family. The Sittercity memberships are fully funded by the DoD…

A man has joined the military to get health insurance for his wife’s battle against cancer (found via Mom Logic).

People join the military for a lot of reasons and I think health insurance is certainly a valid one…

Are your spouses taking advantage of the post-9/11 GI Bill?

Part of the bill allows the servicemember to transfer the tuition benefits to family members.

In order to qualify, my husband needs to transfer the benefits and then complete an additional service requirement (beyond his initial commitment)…

If you haven’t already, check out the New GI Benefits Bill.
The new, increased benefits will be free to enroll (instead of the $1200 Captain Dad shelled out, which he ain’t getting back…grrr…). You are 100% eligible with 3 years of post 9/11 service, excluding service requirements from ROTC and service academies (check the link for full details).
Benefits will likely now be transferable to one dependent, but most likely that will not be retroactive, unfortunately for us.
Thoughts???
