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.

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.
Following repeated statements by U.S. President Donald Trump that the United States is considering a wide range of options to annex Greenland, and revelations by senior officials that military options are being considered by the Trump administration, questions have been raised regarding the ability of the Danish Armed Forces to retain control over the territory.
