We are now on Facebook!

We are working hard on getting the site up and running.  In the meanwhile, we now have a Facebook page! Check it out here!

Starting to build the site

Today, I plan on starting to build the site. I am going to focus initially on schools, medical, and neighborhoods because I think that is the main areas we research before moving.  I'll then add information about other things, like favorite parks, restaurants, etc.  I have created a survey to help collect your recommendations.  If you have lived near different bases, please feel free to take the survey for each base.  Your efforts will help build www.militarywom.com into an excellent resource that will, hopefully, end up helping you in the future.
Please click here to take survey. Thank you!

"See a need, fill a need"

Last weekend after watching the movie Robots, I kept thinking about the message repeated throughout the movie, "See a need, fill a need."  You see, we will be moving this year to a new duty station so I have started to research the various places that might be potential places where my husband might get orders.  I got to thinking how many people do this over and over again and wouldn't it be better if all of the information was shared in one place?  I always wondered why, when my husband checks into a new place, we aren't given "the scoop" we all want to know.   For example, things like: which school districts are the best, where can my child go for special needs resources, or even simple things like, where to get my haircut.  Then, the quote from the movie came back into my head, and I realized that I should try and make this happen. So welcome to my Military Word of Mouth blog!  I hope you will join me in my journey in creating the website, www.MilitaryWoM.com, and hope that it will be beneficial to you in the future when you are faced with a new set of orders.
