Military Spouse Transition Network Why the need? Military spouses change duty stations, moving across the country approximately every three years. This has a major impact on their careers and their ability to provide financial support to their family. The result is that most working military spouses are forced to either take minimum-wage jobs that do not have long-term career options (e.g. retail, service, etc.) or start from the bottom in their chosen career field each time they move. An Overview of the Network The program, open to all identified military spouses working for state government agencies in NASPE member states, activates when a military spouse/state employee who receives notification of a Permanent Change of Station (PCS) for their spouse contacts a designated NASPE representative in their Home State (i.e., the state from which the spouse is moving). The program delivers career services products such as resume building, skills translation, informal contacts, etc. in support of military spouse re-employment. Home State is responsible to:
