In my few years of being a serving personnel's spouse, we have lived in three accommodations and visited over seven temporary accommodations’ my husband has had course to stay in on postings or deployments. Besides the number, size and the intensity of mosquitoes’ bites experienced in Kontagora, I have observed that in every accommodation we lived in, there have been a number of light switches that turn on only in reverse order. I've had to ask neighbors whether they've also observed this and the number of persons that have this same exact feature in their residences hilariously high. Let us know if your house has this any switches in reverse order.

Не выбирайте пароли, связанные с личной информацией, такой как даты рождения, имена, или простые слова. Обычные слова легко поддаются взлому с помощью атак на основе словарей. Рассмотрите возможность использования фраз. Например, соедините несколько случайных слов с дополнениями, чтобы создать уникальную комбинацию, например, "Слон!Коток#Звезда2023". Регулярно меняйте пароль. Установите напоминание хотя бы раз в три месяца. Это поможет защититься от утечек данных. Используйте менеджеры паролей для генерации и хранения сложных паролей.

We Must Try

You can be anything you want to be they say, but can you actually be anything you want to be? I’ve had this idea of sharing my personal experience as a military spouse a long time ago and did you ask what has held me back? A lot; the uncertainties of whether or not it would resonate with people out there, is it even allowable for a military wife to be talking about her experience? No one had felt the need to go out with her experience, why should I? with my current schedule, would I have the time to develop content to post as regularly as is required of this type of writing? While I entertained this thoughts, doubts and concerns, my personal experience particularly the most difficult of them endured and I hated not having to tell this tales with the hope of helping a new, naïve and helpless military wife. I've had senior officer’s wives struggle with remembering exact details of their experiences and I thought to myself, wouldn’t it be much easier to have written all of these up somewhere? Realistically I know the answer but I couldn’t stop asking the same questions in my mind whenever I had such conversations. Truth is, I would hate to not remember clearly some of the things I consider spectacularly impactful in this journey. I consider the opportunity to put my thoughts, experience and aspirations out there a rare privilege. I have often heard military wives say ‘In my next life I won’t marry a soldier’. First of all, I am not sure if they really mean this or if it is a way of venting out their frustrations in those moments. Secondly, most of the women I’ve heard say these words are truly in love with their husbands, so I am certain it is a momentary thing. However, because different women in different locations and at different times have said this, maybe it is true that if there is a second life where marriage would be a thing, they actually would not marry a soldier. Becoming anything, you hope to be as a military wife is hard for obvious reasons; you are mostly a solo parent with all the incidences and obligations that come with the territory- school runs, hospital, church, market stops, everything is squarely on you. There are hardly any breaks from this and you think to yourself...

Necessary Evil

The military community is a social environment that maintains a viable symbiotic relationship with the surrounding communities around it which has thus, paved a way for the presence and services of civilians that provide different kinds of support services. These are menial and domestic roles including but not limited to- artisans, technicians, labourers and in some cases customers that patronise the different businesses that most non- serving spouses own and operate. For example, the women and girls who hawk perishables and particularly that woman with a funny voice that hawk’s bread in the mornings. I've tried for years to hear whatever it is she says as she advertises, but unfortunately, I am still unable to comprehend her exact words. There’s also an in-house mechanism; where young adult children of soldiers in a bid to be responsible, render services including: car washing, shining boots, clearing bushes around our surroundings for a token, in some cases fetch water and run other simple errands. This group is generally referred to as ‘barrack boys’, as they are mostly males. They know the nooks and crannies of the barracks as well as who is old and or new in the community. In all fairness, the barrack boys and or the boys from the neighbouring communities bothering the military communities, who render commendable service are mostly your go to persons for almost everything within the military community. Whether you are entirely new in the military community or posted from another unit, the artisans to really watch out for are the civilians and barrack boys who put themselves out as possessing such skills as plumbing, electrical installations, carpentry, general repairs to avoid accidents and regrets. My experience with artisans has been a hilariously annoying one; even after conducting some level of due diligence, I end up having a story to tell. In no particular order, my bad experience with artisans spans from a time I needed to tile the bathroom in my first military house and engaged the services of a certain ‘barrack boy’ for the work. He broke all the new tiles I had bought and fixed them as broken tiles in a spectacularly awful fashion.  Upon returning home to supervise the work, I was greeted by a sight I didn’t know human beings were capable of creating. The floor of the bathroom looked like a poodle filled with broken tiles. Another fellow kept topping gas to my...
