@cspanofficial: President Trump signed an executive order Monday to establish the President's Military Spouse Commission that will advise the president on policies to improve the quality of life for military families. "The commission will develop suggestions to address particular challenges in housing, employment, healthcare, education, childcare and just about everything else you can think of," the president announced at the Oval Office. Jennifer Rauchet, wife of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth will chair the commission. Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin's wife, Christie Mullin, and military spouses of service secretaries, Joint Chiefs of Staff and each branch's senior enlisted leaders will be members of the commission. "America cannot have the strongest military in the world without the love and devotion of our remarkable military spouses, who make the extraordinary sacrifices for our country," President Trump said. #executiveorder #militaryspouses #commission #cspan

Active duty here. I was excited until I looked into it, it only goes toward the most senior enlisteds in each branch. i.e. the ones that already make $200k a year or more. Us lower enlisted guys get nothing.

As a spouse I just want our life to be more affordable. Why are we struggling as a military family when my husband is literally putting his life on the line and away from home more days than he is home.

He inventing a position for the wife of Hegseth and paying her a lot of money, lets see if they actually do something for the spouses that really struggle with all those needs and not just pay then spouses of already rich guys more money

I don’t understand why everybody is jumping for joy. I literally just did a deep dive on this. There’s no money or pay increase. It’s literally gonna be a focus group. “trying to better, military spouses and military families lives“. Nothing has been established and nothing has been promised.
