What branch are you associated with? Army

What do you like/love about it? Always knowing we have a paycheck coming and that my daughter will always be taken care of, not worrying about husband getting laid off, being able to "travel the world", meeting some amazing friends that become family everywhere you go, knowing what it's like to TRUELY Love and Miss someone, the excitement of Homecoming...

What's something awesome that's unique to your branch hmm about the specific Branch, I'm not sure lol, but something totally AWESOME about EVERY branch is our Soldiers and what they do for US and OUR country! I'm an extremely proud Army Wife/Daughter/Sister/Cousin/Grandchild/Friend

What branch are you associated with? DH is Army Reserves.

What do you like/love about it? That he can still have a regular job during the week.

What's something awesome that's unique to your branch? I think the Reserves are unique in general, but now we have our own insurance option which is pretty reasonable at $180 a month for a family. It was more expensive when we first started, I was grateful for the drop.

We are Navy

i like being able to go to Busch Gardens, Sea World and Disney. Busch Gardens/Sea World is free one time a year for active duty anf their dependents. Disney had a promotion where you could pay $100 for 5 days for dependens and active duty were free.

What's something awesome that's unique to your branch?
I don't really know but I do know that when you're pregnant you can go to free classes and recieve $60.00 in free baby stuff... but only AF can get it.

 The Navy also does this. They call it Budgeting for Baby. Great 2 hour class and you get a "Babys first Seabag" full of baby stuff.

Quoting mommyofderek:
