“Sometimes nothing is sweeter than a bitter cup, over sweet conversation. Once a month, the USO hosts Coffee Connection for military spouses; a place where they can pour over life in the military. The goal is to help them grow their personal networks with people who understand the grind.
‘It’s important because it’s really making friends when you have to move around all the time with our military changing duty stations every couple years. You are coming to new duty station all the time and as a spouse if you are not working you don’t really have an opportunity to meet that many people. So coming to something like coffee connections which is very casual is a great way to just make friends,’ says Christine Vu, Camp Lewis Center Manager.
They’ve been stationed all around the world. But it’s this station, the coffee station, where they find the most comfort. It’s a special blend of military spouses, some new to the scene, some who’ve seen it all and even those who’ve recently retired from the military themselves.”
