About
Di Nola Consulting and MilSpouseU™
The people and the mission behind your home base.
Di Nola Consulting (DNC) is the practice of Dr. Gina Di Nola, dedicated to empowering Military and Veteran Families with the information, training, and resources they have earned. DNC is a paid, authorized training provider, bringing project management, financial counseling, and process improvement expertise to the people and organizations who serve the military community. Its courses are delivered separately, at the Professional and Leadership Development Center.
MilSpouseU™ is DNC's free peer community for Military Spouses. Spouses connect, share what they have learned, and help each other hold on to a career, a community, and a sense of self through every move. There is no curriculum, no cost, and no credential — just spouses learning from each other's experience, live every Tuesday.
Our Motto
Know, Navigate, Thrive.

Who belongs here
Who counts as a Military Spouse.
If you are reading this and working out whether you qualify, that question is the reason this section exists. The answer is almost certainly yes.
- Spouses of active duty Service Members — Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, Space Force, and Coast Guard.
- Spouses of National Guard and Reserve members, whether or not their Service Member is currently on orders.
- Spouses of Veterans, however long ago the service was.
- Spouses of retired and medically retired Service Members.
- Surviving spouses, including those who have remarried.
- Separated, divorced, and former spouses. The years you lived this life do not stop counting.
- Partners who are not married, and engaged partners.
- Dual-military spouses — spouses who serve, or have served, themselves.
- Caregiver spouses, including those caring for a wounded, ill, or injured Service Member or Veteran.
- Spouses of Service Members of any rank — junior enlisted through general officer, and every warrant and commissioned grade between.
- Spouses of Service Members with any characterization of discharge.
- Spouses at any stage — newly married, mid-career, transitioning out, or long since out.
What we do not ask
We do not ask about rank. There is no seating chart here, and nothing on a Tuesday depends on what your Service Member wears.
We do not ask about discharge characterization. A discharge is a record of one person’s service. It is not a verdict on the family, and it does not decide who is welcome in this room.
We do not ask whether the marriage is current. Separation, divorce, and loss do not undo what you learned or who you are.
Registration asks one thing: that there is a military affiliation behind it. That check exists so the room stays what it says it is, not so anyone has to prove they deserve a seat. If you are unsure whether you qualify, write to us and we will tell you plainly — and the answer is usually yes.
Plainly: MilSpouseU™ is a free peer-support and networking community for Military Spouses. There is no curriculum, no enrollment, no tuition, no credential, and no certificate of completion. Sessions are informal discussions in which participants share their own experience. DNC's paid, authorized courses are entirely separate.
