This article discusses tips for international spouses adjusting to life as an Army wife. It profiles Cam Ngo-Cheung, who is Chinese and from Canada, discussing her experience moving to a new base in Louisiana away from her family and friends. She recommends volunteering as a way to meet people and gain experience. While at Fort Polk, she volunteered with the Red Cross as a dental assistant, which helped her make friends and learn about Army life. She is now active with the international spouse group at her new base, which helps foreign-born spouses connect by sharing meals, conversations and learning about each other's cultures.
