The career you keep restarting with every move
The bases bring families to the Springs for two or three years at a time, and the service member arrives with a job, a unit and a schedule. The spouse arrives with a resume full of gaps, a license that may not transfer to Colorado, and a circle of friends they have just said goodbye to for the third or fourth time. There is a particular grief in being good at something and never being anywhere long enough to be known for it. Kids change schools, the house is a rental again, and the service member is often away at training or deployed, which leaves one adult handling the altitude headaches, the winter driving and the dinner table alone. The city is friendly, and churches and spouse groups try, but it is tiring to start over again when you know you will leave again.
How peer support helps near Colorado Springs
A peer group gives you something that does not change station. You join from base housing or a rental in Monument, and if orders come, the group comes with you to the next post and the people in it stay the same.
