The military has to deal with moving. A lot. Luckily, most of the time, anyway, the places they move to are not too shabby. Many towns embrace their military population, and they often have specials deals at restaurants, bars, and local attractions specifically for you. This helps, because after you’ve just moved, you’re usually broke. What can also help is a fast military loan. These loans are tailor made for the military population. They ask no interest for the first … Continue reading →

When you think “defense,” you think football, or hockey, or something involving a goal to be defended. Usually, baseball doesn’t come into your mind – but it should. When you think about it, some of the greatest moments in baseball history are all score-stoppers. Yes, defense is strategy, but it can also be heart-stopping, single-play action. Think of Willie Mays’ bucket catch. That’s a defensive maneuver. So it stands to reason that baseball should be nestled at the top of … Continue reading →

Recently at the annual Consumer Electronics Show, this year held in Manila in the Philippines, the next generation of tech toys was unveiled as a slew of new gadgets were introduced to the world. As expected, many are computer components, and many are smart phones. However a few new cameras also made an appearance. The great thing about this is that these things are no longer rich men’s toys. The vast majority of all electronic goods are well under $10K … Continue reading →

The economy is not treating everyone kindly. Yes, they say we’re in recovery, and they say we’re on the way to better days, but our paychecks certainly aren’t showing it, are they? Unfortunately, many people are still falling into bankruptcy and foreclosure. Misfortune is not discriminatory, either, affecting all social classes and ethnicities. So you might ask what to do when this befalls you. How do you compensate? How do you recover? How do you minimize the effect on your … Continue reading →

There are many terrible feelings in this world. For instance, Christmas morning when the kids storm the living room, you reach for the camera and the battery’s dead. When your kid gets his name called on graduation day and he starts that walk, you reach for the camera and the battery’s dead. When you see a purple unicorn in the forest, you reach for the… well… you get the idea. A dead battery will ruin your day with a quickness. … Continue reading →

Sometimes, no matter how hard you try, you just can’t get into something. You’ve done it so many times, there’s just no attraction to it any more. You try, but it just doesn’t work. Well, that’s what our active duty military personnel have to go through most of their lives. They move around so much that they are never able to develop much of an attachment to their surrogate homes, so they have to try extra hard to enjoy their … Continue reading →

So many active duty military servicepersons have to relocate. What happens is that they get stationed in an unfamiliar city, and nothing in the city has any attachment value because there aren’t any memories involved. You’re not from there, after all. So you go around trying to make new memories for yourself and your family. Weekend in, and weekend out. Week after week. Month after month. After a while, you’re sick and tired of this place they’ve stuck you in. … Continue reading →

We often send our active duty personnel into places that aren’t fit for their families, which of course means that they are forced to leave them behind in the States. There are however, several places where our troops are restorations that CAN accommodate spouses and children. Usually, these areas are in Europe and Asia.   When stationed overseas with the family, there is still the obligation that you as a parent must fulfill. You must still raise an American, with … Continue reading →

The military moves you. No, not the service and the honor. They physically move you. A lot. Usually, though, the places they move to aren’t that bad. Many cities embrace their military citizens, and they often have specials deals at events and gathering places specifically for them. This helps, because after you’ve just moved, chances are you’re broke. What can also help is a no-credit military loan. These loans are made specifically for active duty military personnel. There is no … Continue reading →
