What these numbers are, and are not

Reach, not outcomes. These counts say who registered. They do not claim anything about what the community changed for the people in them — no jobs, no credentials, no salaries. MilSpouseU™ does not make those claims, and a registration figure would not support one.

Self-reported, and small. Every figure comes from what a registrant entered on the registration form, and the whole community is 39 people. At that size one person is 2.6%, so the counts lead and the shares follow, rounded to whole numbers. A share that moves by three points next month may be one registration.

One source, one date. The counts live in data/registrants.json and are drawn from it, so the charts and the tables underneath them cannot drift apart. The date on each caption is the day they were pulled.

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.

Know. Navigate. Thrive.
