WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A

Military Family written by Natalie Dove

It’s no secret that every family has its own set of struggles, peace, issues, joys, heartaches, good times, bad times, and everything in between. Incorporate the military into the equation, multiply it by ten and you’ve got what we call “the military family”. Being involved in a military family is a way of life that only a small percentage of the population are able to experience. Uncertainty, frequent moves, and last minute deployments are things that may deter those who have no concept of what military families go through. But, there are so many incredibly unique and beautiful things that also come along with being a military family. The Oslar Family has been engaged with the highs and lows of having a military family since 2012 when they got married. Chelsea is nursing student, volunteer, and most importantly, a mom. Her husband Tim works in the fuel shop in the 19 Maintenance Squadron. They met when Chelsea came out to Little Rock to help her brother with his daughter with special

needs. Her brother worked with Tim and that’s how their story began.

...good-byes will happen, but hellos are always right around the corner.

Something very special about military families is that the children get to be more involved with daily happenings of military life. The Oslar girls definitely have some pretty cool descriptions of what their dad does for work! Kaylee, who is 5 years old and the oldest of the Oslar girls said her dad, “uses tools to fix airplanes when they are in the big building.” 4 year old Emmy said her dad works on the airplanes to keep them up [in the air].” And the youngest of the girls, 2 year old Madelyn said, “Daddy’s job to go to work”. All statements, while very accurate mean more than they appear. These kids are tasked with circumstances normal kids aren’t. Unfortunately, there can be quite an incredible amount of uncertainty in their daily lives. One thing the Oslar’s prepare their kids for is the idea that good-byes will happen, but hellos are always right around the corner.

Remember, you will always have at least one thing in common with most people at new bases: you are all a part of some sort of military family. Everyone has their own definition of what a military family means to them. For Tim, the military family has two meanings.

“To me, being a military family means that I am fortunate enough to have not one, but two families. I have my wife They always make it a point to reiterate and children at home that give their the fact that just because someone they support to me in everything I do,” said love is far away, it doesn’t mean they Tim. “They are my inspiration and it’s have lost interest in their everyday lives, because of them I can enjoy my life or that they don’t love them or care for and my job to the fullest. When I am at them anymore. Separation will happen, work I enjoy being able to help my cobut it is not permanent. workers with any challenges they may face. Also, I know whether its work One of the main things military families related or not I can count on my ‘Air struggle with is meeting and getting to Force family’ to be there for me in the know people at new bases. same way. Whether I am at home at work I am surrounded by people who I “It’s really hard, it’s really taxing. It’s trust to always have my back.” very isolating,” said Chelsea. It is imperative to understand how to adapt The Air Force has been making a point and be self-sufficient until you can find to make it known they are shifting your niche as a military family. more towards a family oriented Immediately writing-off a new place and being close-minded comes easily to most when transitioning into a new atmosphere. Military families have to choose to alter that mind set and be open to new things and possibilities.

organization. The squadrons shifted to focusing on having open minds when it comes to family and being sensitive to things that can come up in regards to family matters. “It has been interesting to see how

things have changed now verses when I first got married. I definitely feel like they are more open to families,” said Chelsea. “They are definitely putting more of an emphasis on not just the military family but also military kids. The Air Force and its leadership are starting to give families a place in the military that wasn’t there before and changing the meaning of “military family” for the better.

The Month of the Military Family will kick off with a carnival theme event on Sat, Nov 17. This year’s carnival theme will feature carnival games, a car-truck-motorcycle show, hay rides, a petting zoo & carousel, bingo, a military family tribute, an art show, prize drawings and free food. Play games to earn points, win prizes and enter to win $50 $300 gift cards! Early registration begins at 9:30 am and the event is scheduled from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm at the Walter’s Community Support Center, Building 940, on Little Rock AFB.
