It may also mean being the primary caregiver during deployments and training away from home. However, many military spouses today are able to have full-time jobs that fit their lifestyle. This may include jobs with flexible schedules and work-from-home options. |

A new support group in Livermore, CA. We are Livermore
Military Families, Co-Founded by Tami Jenkins and Cindy
Gavello. Our purpose is as follows:
Livermore Military Families - is intended to be a support
group for families in Livermore, CA who have a loved one
serving in the United States Armed Forces. It will be a safe
place for moms, dads, sisters, brothers, siblings, wives,
husbands, grandparents etc. to come and share the joys,
tears and fears they have with others who understand what
they are going through. All family members are welcome to
attend meetings. Support will be provided by sharing and
socializing with each other, and by serving the troops,
veterans and other Military organizations in any way we can.
We look forward to working with all of you in the future. Our
meetings are held on the 3rd Thursday of every month from
7:00 to 9:00 p.m. We would love to have you join us at a
meeting, if you can.
ReBoot Camp is your 1st Civilian Division. It
connects you with other Veterans who share
your civilian goals – to reconnect with family,
friends, community, and career. Welcome
