Many of us have been there: starting a new job at one duty station, only to hand in our two-week notice a year later because of last-minute orders. Others have taken on full-time work, only to realize that a lack of child care made it impossible to keep going. In that scenario, we were forced to take a pay cut or step away entirely to stay home with our little ones. So many military spouses put careers on hold to support our service members and the mission.

New ways to pair the unique capabilities of different ships could help better address commanders’ needs and do so faster.
By the late 1950s, the Space Race was dominating the Cold War, the United States military was rapidly testing advanced fighter jets and looking at how it could build out its rocket arsenal both for offensive use and to send Americans into space. And then they hit a snag.
The U.S. military had so rapidly built out its new aircraft that it had a new problem. Jets, like the X-15, could hit the upper atmosphere and break the sound barrier. However high altitude and high speeds meant that bailing out of these aircraft was riskier than ever.
Since hitting newsprint in 1950, Snoopy has become one of the most popular comic characters of all time.
Without speaking a word, America’s most recognizable beagle taught the public about physics, somehow sleeping and living on top of an A-frame doghouse. Snoopy also taught us about life as a flying ace from World War I. After his training as a pilot, however, Snoopy lived beyond the comic strip to inform the public about aerospace, including multiple stints with NASA.
