 Welcome to All Hands Update. I'm Petty Officer Jessica Bidwill. A military career can span from just a few years to decades of service. These years can include multiple deployments, extended periods of separation, PCS moves and other changes. Military spouses and significant others play an important role in offering encouragement and support through a service member's career. The Naval Center for Combat and Operational Stress Control provides sailors and Marines with important tools and programs to build and maintain resilience during their career. Military couples can take steps to boost their resiliency together, such as maintaining your connection, being flexible, remaining optimistic, building trust, taking care of each other, setting goals, and seeking professional help if stress becomes too overwhelming. To learn more about how you can manage and build resiliency, please visit the Naval Center for Combat and Operational Stress Control website.
