Overseas Life for Military Spouses

Living overseas can be exciting and sometimes overwhelming. As a military spouse, you have plenty of resources to help you settle in and feel at home. Among those is Military OneSource, available 24/7, no matter where in the world you are.

Your installation’s Military and Family Support Center is your one-stop shop for family readiness information and services. You’ll find education and referrals to help orient you to your new location. If your family hasn’t been assigned a sponsor to show you the ropes, you can request one through your Military and Family Support Center.

If you opt to live off the installation, you may be eligible for financial assistance.
