NATIONAL HARBOR, Md. — The Pentagon’s Replicator capabilities will be instrumental in countering China’s advanced military presence that’s expanding across the Indo-Pacific region, but there’s still much to puzzle out regarding the overarching concepts of operation for the platforms, according to the head of Pacific Air Forces.

“I’m fine.”
I said it to myself. I was practicing because any time someone saw my dark circles, mismatched socks, and just the general unrest about my person, I knew I was going to get the question. This question is a question that all military spouses dread, and most of us answer the same way.
“Hey, how are you doing?”
The correct answer is always, “I’m fine,” or “Everything is great.” We do this because we know that this is a polite conversation starter and not an authentic inquiry into how we’re actually doing.

Being part of the military community brings so much honor and patriotism. Serving our country as active members of our military and also as military spouses comes with its fair share of issues that we are all well acquainted with. Within our community, throughout the different branches, there are many underrepresented groups struggling with unique challenges not everyone faces. As many know, the U.S military has been known historically to be one of the most diverse institutions in our country. Our military is now more racially and ethnically diverse in comparison to previous decades.

Close your eyes and picture a military spouse greeting their loved one after a long duty assignment away from home. You’re probably picturing a woman in an airport or giant parking lot. She has on a dress, maybe it’s covered in polka dots. She has a small child with her. Around the corner comes her husband, in uniform. He is carrying a duffle bag over his shoulder and… what’s that? He is holding a stuffed animal, surely meant for the child. They scream with joy as they all hug each other, happy to be reunited at last.
Something like that anyway.
