MMSRS 65 - REAL ID Act Collocation Policies and the Male MilSpouse

Male Military Spouse Radio Show

Join host Dave Etter and co-host Jay Ha'o as the newest and latest information on the 2005 Federal REAL I.D. Act Collocation policy affects the Military Spouse. Ryan Nelson, from ESGR (Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve), joined in from the beginning and gave us great info on the rights and responsibilities employers have under the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA). Dan Hogan also joined in and asked about the REAL ID Act and how it might help him with a situation he has, which Jay provided the Marine specific link http://www.dfas.mil/militarymembers/SecondaryDependency/SDC/secondarydependency_Marines.html to address Dan's question. MMSRS is a weekly 2-hour web-based call-in radio show (516-453-9167), hosted by Dave Etter, focusing on the needs of men married to serving military members, both men and women. Male Military Spouses are a small niche of military spouses, comprising of only 7%-8% of all military spouses. We feel left out, usually, at support functions - especially those designed with the spouses being identified as "wives"! We get cajoled at playgrounds where our kids play, from the mommies there who think we don't belong. We are proud SAHDs, who gave up our careers to follow our spouses as they dedicate thier lives to defend our country! Here, on this show, we come together and share beer recipes, diaper changing techniques, financial discoveries - manly things, for men! Typically airs Fridays, rated R for the cussing that can occur, and always available for download (podcast) immediately following each show.
