Military Spouse Employment Program Reaches 96 Partners!
On Columbus Day, I had the honor of participating in the Military Spouse Employment Partnership
(MSEP) Induction Ceremony. Twenty-four new companies joined the partnership, bringing the total to
ninety-six partners! The Induction Ceremony recognized the growing community of businesses that are
stepping up to offer meaningful and portable employment opportunities to our military spouses.
I met with the leaders of our newest partner companies and can say without question that they are
excited about the opportunity to hire military spouses. In fact, each of the 96 partner companies clearly
understands the true value our military spouses bring to their companies. In return, the companies are
offering flexible job opportunities that can withstand relocations, deployments, and other aspects of
military life that have made career advancement so difficult for our spouses in the past.
Military spouses face a 26% unemployment rate and a 25% wage gap compared to their civilian
counterparts. MSEP’s goal is to level the playing field and help our military spouses connect with
companies that are searching for talented and skilled employees. But the impact of MSEP goes beyond
just reducing the unemployment rate for our military spouses. It also benefits employers by connecting
them to a large and diverse body of exceptionally capable, dedicated, and motivated workers. In
addition, MSEP also provides an important readiness connection: meaningful career opportunities that
are compatible with the spouse’s military service make it easier for quality families to remain in the
military and continue to serve our great nation.
MSEP has experienced extraordinary growth since its June launch. In less than four months, MSEP has
provided employment to more than 5,600 military spouses, and another 56,000 jobs are available on the
website. As we look ahead, the DoD is committed to making MSEP even more useful, both for military
spouses and for businesses. Spouses will soon be able to post resumes and cover letters directly to the
MSEP jobs site, and both companies and spouses will be notified when a resume matches a job
announcement. The site will also pull job announcements from partner job pages and instantly load
them onto the site, making it a true one-stop-shop for military spouse employment. We need to continue
to hear from you – your feedback is critical to the program’s continued improvement. Please join our
discussion to let us know what you think: what’s working, and what can we do to improve it further?

In the spirit of Columbus, we at the DoD are forging ahead, making significant strides to help our

Joining Forces
Joining Forces
Stars 'Join Forces' With First Lady
A few top entertainment industry stars have joined forces with First Lady Michelle Obama to help shine
the light on military families and their service and sacrifice.
The entertainment industry's Inter-Guild Joining Forces Task Force today released new public service
announcements featuring producer and director Steven Spielberg, movie star Tom Hanks and legendary
talk show host Oprah Winfrey, a White House news release said. The task force developed the PSAs in
support of the Joining Forces campaign, a national initiative launched by the first lady and Dr. Jill
Biden, wife of Vice President Joe Biden, to support and honor service members and their families.
The American Federation of Television and Radio Artists, Directors Guild of America, Producers Guild
of America, Screen Actors Guild and the Writers Guild of America West formed the task force to
provide creative and production support for Joining Forces, the release said, and to inform and inspire
their members about military families.
The PSAs tell real stories about America's military families and call on Americans to give back to
ensure service members and military families have the support they deserve.
"The entertainment community answered the Joining Forces call and has done what they do best -- bring
to life stories that move us," Obama said in the release. "Through this PSA campaign, Americans will
learn more about the unique challenges and needs of our military families; see their strength, resilience
and service; and find out how they can give back to these extraordinary troops and families who have
given us so much."
The guilds launched the PSA project following the first lady's visit to Los Angeles in June. She
discussed military families’ stories and issues and encouraged the guilds to incorporate their experiences
into film, TV and digital media. The PSAs are a direct outcome of that visit, the release said, adding that
A&E Networks, CBS, Comcast NBC, Disney ABC, FOX and WB have agreed to support the PSA
campaign.
The PSAs encourage Americans to get involved in supporting military families by visiting the Joining
Forces website. Visitors to the site can send messages of thanks, find opportunities to get involved and
share stories of service, the release said.
“As a military mom I know just how much it means when people reach out to show their support for our
service members and their families,” Biden said in the release. “The first lady and I hope that this
campaign will inspire more Americans to take action and reach out to military families in their own
communities around the country.”
To view the PSAs, visit Spielberg PSA, Hanks PSA and Winfrey PSA, or go to this site.

Weekly Tips
Military Community and Family Policy Weekly Tips
Nutrition Tip of the Week - Meats Vegetarian Counterparts
While vegetarians do not eat meat, there are a number of substitutes that look and may even taste like
their non-vegetarian counterparts. However, a benefit of eating the vegetarian substitutes is that they are
usually lower in saturated fat and contain no cholesterol. So if you are looking for some meat
substitutes, try incorporating any of these options into your daily meals.
• For breakfast, try soy-based sausage patties or links.
• Rather than hamburgers, try veggie burgers. A variety of kinds are available, made with soy
beans, vegetables, and rice.
• Add vegetarian meat substitutes to soups and stews to boost protein without adding saturated fat
or cholesterol. These include tempeh (cultured soybeans with a chewy texture), tofu, or wheat
gluten (seitan).
• For barbecues, try veggie burgers, soy hot dogs, marinated tofu or tempeh, and veggie kabobs.
• Make bean burgers, lentil burgers, or pita halves with falafel (spicy ground chick pea patties).
• Some restaurants offer soy options (texturized vegetable protein) as a substitute for meat, and
soy cheese as a substitute for regular cheese.
Parenting Tip of the Week - Communicating with Teens
Parents of teenagers who continue to communicate with their teens, even despite conflict and arguments,
maintain stronger relationships with them. It might seem like a struggle to continue to talk to your teen
when it leads to conflicts and disagreements, but most teens report having a close relationship with their
parents identify their parents as being a significant influence on their lives. Maintain an open line of
communication, rather than simply trying to avoid disagreements.
Let’s Move/Childhood Obesity Tip of the Week - Balance calories
Find out how many calories YOU need for a day as a first step in managing your weight. Go to
ChooseMyPlate website to find your calorie level. Being physically active also helps you balance
calories.
Foods to eat more often:
Eat more vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and fat-free or 1 percent milk and dairy products. These foods
have the nutrients you need for health-including potassium, calcium, vitamin D, and fiber. Make them
the basis for meals and snacks:.
Make half your plate fruits and vegetables. Choose red, orange, and dark-green vegetables like
tomatoes, sweet potatoes, and broccoli, along with other vegetables for your meals. Add fruit to meals as
part of main or side dishes or as dessert.
Switch to fat-free or low-fat (1 percent) milk. They have the same amount of calcium and other
Page 4 of 11
5. MC&FP Weekly (October 17,2011) 10/18/2011
essential nutrients as whole milk but contain fewer calories and less saturated fat.
Make half your grains whole grains. To eat more whole grains, substitute a whole-grain product for a
refined product-such as eating whole-wheat bread instead of white bread or brown rice instead of white
rice.
Foods to eat less often:
Cut back on foods high in solid fats, added sugars, and salt. They include cakes, cookies, ice cream,
candies, sweetened drinks, pizza, and fatty meats like ribs, sausages, bacon, and hot dogs. Use these
foods as occasional treats, not everyday foods.
Compare sodium in foods. Use the nutrition facts label to choose lower sodium versions of foods like
soup, bread, and frozen meals. Select canned foods labeled “low sodium,” ”reduced sodium,” or “no salt
added.”
Drink water instead of sugary drinks. Cut calories by drinking water or unsweetened beverages. Soda,
energy drinks, and sports drinks are a major source of added sugar, and calories, in American diets.
Financial Tip of the Week - Talking with Your Kids about Money
In some families, talking about money can be a very uncomfortable conversation. Many parents don’t
know how to approach the topic of money, and some avoid it altogether. By starting the discussion
early, you can make it easier to talk about this tough topic later, when your child is making larger
purchases, thinking about getting a job, or beginning financial planning for college.
Every Day Steps:
Practice Smart Spending: Talk with your children about how you make spending choices based on
more than just affordability. Use language like “We’re not going to spend our money that way
because…” or “It’s not a good value because…,” rather than just saying, “It’s too expensive,” which
may give the impression that you would buy it if you could afford it.
Do: Bring your kids with you to the bank. If you’re making a deposit in a savings account, talk about the
importance of saving “for a rainy day.”
Create Learning Opportunities: If you’re refinancing your mortgage, you have an opportunity discuss
the concept of interest and the importance of paying off loan balances quickly. When you’re taking out a
car loan, talk about how loans allow you to pay for things that you don’t have the money for, but you
end up paying more in the long run.
Honesty as the Best Policy: If you are facing financial difficulty, be honest with your children. You
don’t need to worry them with all the details, but it is helpful for them to learn that money isn’t magical
— it doesn’t just appear when you need it.
Stress Wants vs. Needs: Many kids — especially young ones — have difficulty differentiating between
wants and needs. When your child says she “needs” something, ask if she really needs it, or if she just
wants it. Make sure your child understands the difference, and start paying attention to what you’re
saying and the example you’re setting — for example, do you really need an expensive cup of coffee to
get you through the morning?
Page 5 of 11
6. MC&FP Weekly (October 17,2011) 10/18/2011
Keep an Open Dialogue: When you’re out shopping, talk with your kids about why you make the
purchases you do. Are you influenced by advertising? Pricing? The quality of the product? How do you
choose one product over another? Help your child start thinking carefully about making purchases.
Highlight the Positive: Many financially savvy practices, such as buying secondhand, donating old
clothes to a thrift store, and reusing and recycling goods, are also good for the environment. Point out
that not only are you saving money by doing these things, but you’re also taking action to help preserve
the environment.
Military OneSource Tip of the Week - Getting Help for Victims of Domestic Abuse
If you think someone you know is involved in an abusive relationship, there are ways you can offer
support.
• Show your concern. Let the person know you are ready to listen and provide help.
• Find out about military reporting options by talking to a victim advocate on your installation.
A victim can, except in certain circumstances, talk with a victim advocate and receive medical
care without it automatically resulting in an abuse investigation.
• Let the victim know that she doesn’t have to stay in an abusive relationship and that help is
available. You can urge her to contact the installation’s Family Advocacy Program (FAP) and
speak with a victim advocate, call the command chaplain, or call the toll-free National Domestic
Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233).
Find out more from the Military OneSource article, Domestic Abuse and Where to Find Help, available
at the Military OneSource website.
Spouse Tip of the Week - Operating a Home Based Business From Military Family Housing
In accordance with the Military Family Act, Public Law 99-145, “DoD Authorization Act, November 8,
1985, Section 806, Employment Opportunities for Military Spouses,” the Department of Defense
encourages the use of military family housing for certain limited commercial activities. Although the
specific implementing policies and procedures may vary slightly for each Military Service, the following
information generally applies. It is important to note that the policies that govern your situation will be
those of your host installation which may vary from your military sponsor’s branch of Service.
Before launching your own business from military family housing, you must seek written permission
from your installation commander usually via your installation Housing Authority (HA). Housing
Authority officials will ensure that housing occupants are well aware of requirements that must be met
prior to the conduct of any business enterprise from a military housing unit. Worldwide points of contact
for Military Housing Offices are available from the MilitaryINSTALLATIONS website.
Common Types of Home Based Businesses Operated in Military Family Housing Units include:
• direct sales of products
• limited manufacturing of items
• minor repairs on small items such as: watches, jewelry and electronics
• incidental services such as:
Page 6 of 11
7. MC&FP Weekly (October 17,2011) 10/18/2011
◦ animal training, grooming, walking
◦ tailoring, sewing and dressmaking
◦ tax preparation and accounting services
◦ child, special needs/respite, and elder care
◦ scheduled transportation
◦ bookkeeping, billing, and medical insurance coding
◦ food preparation: catering, cakes, and specialty foods
◦ housecleaning, lawn care, painting, home maintenance, and odd jobs
◦ appraisals, auctions, and estate sales
◦ haircuts/styling, manicures/pedicures, facials, massage, and fitness coaching
◦ graphic design, architecture, engineering, and professional and management consulting
◦ lessons: art, music, dance, sewing, crafts, needlework, and computer skills
◦ teaching and tutoring services: English as a second language/foreign languages,
homework help, and remedial assistance
◦ word processing, transcription services, information brokering and business intelligence
◦ employee recruiting/headhunting, and executive coaching
◦ writing, publishing, computer programming, website development and usability
◦ computer maintenance, troubleshooting, and help desk service import/export brokering
Regulatory Guidance:
DoD Directive 5500.7, Standards of Conduct, and Military Service regulations
Military Standards of Conduct prohibit solicited sales to subordinates (personnel junior in rank or grade)
and must be a condition for granting approval to conduct commercial activities in family housing.
DoD Directive 1344.7, Personal Commercial Solicitation on DoD Installations, Section F,
paragraph 4m
Prohibits door-to-door solicitation (in person or via printed materials). Allows advertising of addresses
and telephone numbers of commercial sales activities conducted in military housing.
Issues considered by Installation Commanders when authorizing a commercial activity:
• local government licensing requirements
• applicable federal, state and local ordinances
• potential government liability
• overseas status of forces agreements (SOFAs)
• host country business practices
• prospective advertising practices
Note: Legal advice must be sought if doubt exists concerning these issues.
Commanders may not authorize a commercial enterprise:
• at the expense of military community tranquility, harmony among neighbors, or safety, or
• that requires external housing unit alterations or external housing unit advertising.
Commanders may authorize:
Page 7 of 11
8. MC&FP Weekly (October 17,2011) 10/18/2011
• Housing occupants are allowed to make minor modifications to housing units, if approved in
advance. Modification and restoration costs are the responsibility of the housing occupant.
Approvals will be processed under existing regulations which govern projects in family housing.
Housing occupants are responsible for returning the housing unit to its original condition prior to
vacating quarters.
• Utility costs associated with some enterprises will be recouped when such collections are cost
effective. Cost effectiveness will be determined by the local base civil engineer.
• Sales of merchandise not available through the Military Exchanges should not be construed to be
competing with an installation’s official sanctioned commerce.
Liability Insurance:
Personal liability is a serious matter for all business owners, including those working out of military
family housing units. Business applicants need to obtain personal liability insurance which will apply to
legal actions brought by customers as well as covering the applicant for damages to government
property.
Relocation Tip of the Week - Inventory Your Personal Property
If you choose to have the Transportation Office arrange for your move, the household goods carrier will
prepare a descriptive inventory that lists the condition of all your furnishings and the general content of
packed boxes. It’s a good idea to make a list of large or unusual items (piano, pool table, china cabinet,
wall unit, large glass or stone table top, satellite dish, hot tub, boat, motorcycle, recreational vehicle,
etc.) to bring with you to your transportation counseling session.
If you decide to have your movers move your expensive and valuable items, you will need to make a
high-value inventory list that identifies each item. Examples of high-value items include: antiques, art
and coin collections, expensive jewelry, and precious stones. You should also have some type of proof
of value, like an appraisal. Use a video camera or take close-up pictures to record the condition of your
furniture and show what your expensive and valuable items look like before the move. It’s a good idea
to save a paper copy of this list in a fireproof safe, in a safe deposit box, or somewhere outside of your
home.
