About MilSpouseU™

Two things, and we do not claim a third: who is in the room, drawn from registration records, and what members say about Tuesday nights, quoted with permission and in their own words.

Map of MilSpouseU reach: 26 U.S. states plus Japan, Germany, and Italy. The states are Washington, Oregon, Idaho, California, Nevada, Arizona, Colorado, Nebraska, Iowa, Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana, Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, New York, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Hawaii, Delaware and Maryland. — **Where they are**Twenty-six states, and three countries overseas: Japan, Germany and Italy. Drawn from all registered Military Spouses as of 6 October 2026, and checked against the registration report state by state.

A ring of branch and component. Army active duty 30.4%; Navy active duty 21.5%; Air Force active duty 19.0%; Army Reserve 10.1%; Marine Corps active duty 7.6%; Coast Guard active duty 2.5%; Marine Corps Reserve 2.5%; Air Force Reserve 1.3%; Army National Guard 1.3%; Air Force National Guard 1.3%; Army retired or Veteran 1.3%; Coast Guard retired or Veteran 1.3%. — **Branch and component**Five of the six branches are in the room. Army active duty is the largest share at 30.4%, and no Space Force spouse has registered yet.

A ring of military status. Active-duty spouse 64.6%; retired spouse 12.7%; Veteran spouse not retired 11.4%; Reserve or Guard spouse 6.3%; separated or divorced spouse 3.8%; widow or widower 1.3%. — **Military status**Just under two thirds are active-duty spouses. The rest span retired, Veteran, Reserve and Guard, separated and divorced, and widowed.

A ring of race and ethnicity. White 44.3%; Black or African American 19.0%; Hispanic or Latino 12.7%; Asian 7.6%; American Indian or Alaska Native 3.8%; prefer not to say 3.8%; not provided 12.7%. — **Race and ethnicity**Participants could report more than one, so these shares total more than 100%. “Prefer not to say” is a participant’s own answer; “not provided” is a blank field. They are kept apart because they mean different things.

A ring of primary language. English 78.5%; Spanish 2.5%; French 1.3%; Portuguese 1.3%; Tagalog 1.3%; Vietnamese 1.3%; prefer not to say 1.3%; not provided 12.7%. — **Primary language**English for most, and six other languages named. The form takes a primary language and an additional one, so a bilingual registrant appears on two rings.

A ring of age. 25 to 34, 32.9%; 35 to 44, 31.6%; 45 to 54, 19.0%; 55 to 64, 5.1%; not provided, 11.4%. — **Age**Two thirds of those who answered are between 25 and 44, and every band from 25 to 64 now has someone in it.

After being with my service member for 12 years and married for 10, I thought I had a pretty good understanding of military spouse life. Yet, in just the last two MSU webinars I attended, I learned more about the resources, opportunities, and support available to military spouses than I had in many of those years.

… MSU has given me more than information; it has given me another community where I can continue learning, growing, and connecting with others who understand the unique experiences that come with military life.

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.
