It would be pretty hard to replace a spouse. That is someone who is in the home with you and that makes a balance easier to achieve. Small things can be done like deployment respite care (I took part and it was wonderful) but short of offering free…

Just saw this after I posted this blog... from Deloitte's Chairman of the Board, Sharon Allen, which seems to mirror #2 above:

We're really hoping that, in the medium-term, In Gear may be able to help with the networking piece, as well as with breaking into the GS system. We are pulling together a primer that will provide information about the GS system, along with some co…

Is it going to be the same old focus on pink-collar or entry-level jobs, or might this be an opportunity to highlight the issues of importance to the professional-level spouse community? If In Gear has the opportunity to speak to policy officials in the Administration, what issues do you want…See More
