Starting Strong: School Transitions for Military Kids – Behind the Camouflage Season 5 | Episode 12

In this week’s episode of Behind the Camouflage, we sit down with Julie Fulton, School Liaison Officer at Camp Lejeune, to talk about one of the biggest transitions for military-connected children, Kindergarten! With years of experience supporting military families and helping shape the School Liaison Program, Julie shares insight into why transitions—especially early ones like entering kindergarten—can be so impactful for both children and parents. We discuss the unique challenges military families face when it comes to education, frequent moves, and finding the right support systems along the way. Julie also highlights how the School Liaison Office helps families feel more confident and prepared, offering resources, guidance, and connection during times that can often feel overwhelming. Whether you’re preparing for your child’s first day of school or navigating yet another PCS, this conversation offers reassurance, perspective, and practical support for military families at every stage.

“Well, That was Hard.” – Behind the Camouflage Season 5 | Episode 9

Hey, hey, hey listeners! This week we’re introducing a brand new segment called “Well, That Was Hard.” In this segment, we talk about the real-life challenges that come with military spouse life — the moments that test your patience, stretch your resilience, and sometimes leave you looking back and saying… well, that was hard. In this episode, the BTC team dives into one of the most common military spouse experiences: “PCSing”. From the challenges of rebuilding careers and finding childcare at every new duty station to the emotional side of leaving friends and making new ones, we unpack some of the tougher parts of military moves. Of course, we also share a few funny PCS stories along the way — because sometimes the chaos only makes sense once you can laugh about it.If you’ve ever navigated the stress, uncertainty, and occasional absurdity of moving with the military, this conversation will definitely feel familiar.So grab your coffee and join the BTC team for another real, relatable conversation you won’t want to miss. Give it a listen!

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
