Something being a military spouse teaches you is to be flexible. Normally it doesn't matter when my husband's schedule gets all mucked up because I can switch mine around to accommodate it. But I'm working on my practicum now. And it makes it much more difficult when military things come up and I have to be flexible. Thankfully I'm working at a practice with retired military practitioners who understand. Because not just any site will let you re-arrange your schedule so your husband can test for MSgt. Or go for some training thing for six weeks. Or go to a retirement ceremony so that he's on a completely different schedule the next day. But my site does that and I can't really express how grateful I am to have a site that understands the military family.
Things may get more interesting when I begin working on internship where I'm expected to work more hours. Whatever the future brings, I'm very grateful for the people I work with. They have made this slightly unsettling experience a joy.
