Purple Up for the Military Child

Diapers & Deployments The SkillMil Podcast

On this episode of Diapers and Deployments, Michael and Serena discus how SkillMil plays a key role in your civilian job search, and how to wash dirty laundry. Serena introduces Mike to her friend Jenna Young, a Military Student Transition Consultant, and she fills us in on her role as MCEC and the resources available to military children as they transition to a new school and community. April is designated as the Month of the Military Child. It is part of the legacy left by former Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger. The Month of the Military Child is a time to applaud military families and their children for the daily sacrifices they make and the challenges they overcome. “Purple Up! For Military Kids” is a day for DoDEA Communities to wear purple to show support and thank military children for their strength and sacrifices. Purple indicates that all branches of the military are supported.
