To be quite honest, being a military mom is a lot of work! I am proud of my service, and I love showing my kids how important that service is and that I am blessed to serve every day. I especially love to show them that women can be in the military too – and successfully balance both full-time careers. I truly believe that my time in the military has made me a better mom – and a better person! LTC Kristin Agresta, Acting Division Chief,  Defense Health Agency Public Health, Veterinary Services Division.

Though this photo is not of me with my own kids, Kole (11) and Margaret (9), I'm still a mom at heart no matter where I am serving. While on my deployment supporting the air lift of over 10K Afghan refugees, I had the chance to help these two kids on the flight line while their mom received medical aid. Being a mother sometimes means supporting another mom in need. I'm so glad I could be there that day to help her and her kids on their journey.

Being a military mom is rewarding yet challenging rolled into one giant ball of appreciation. You never know what you are going to get being in the military but adding children into the picture makes it that more unique. My children have traveled the world. They have been to countries and places that most people only dream about or read about. They have learned about different cultures and people. I believe these experiences have contributed to their already amazing personalities. They are kind, passionate, and accepting of others’ differences. The military has afforded me these opportunities to be able to provide for them so for that I am extremely grateful for being a military mom. U.S. Navy Lt. Cmdr. Maya Bell, Department Head, Physical & Occupational Therapy Department, U.S. Navy Medicine Readiness and Training Command Guam.

To me, being a military mom means showing my daughters that their possibilities in this world are endless. The military asks so much of us and our families, my daughters have been and continue to be along for the ride. I’m one strong female and I’m raising strong little girls to take over after me. The future is FEMALE! U.S. Air Force Master Sgt. Shanelle Sampson, Flight Chief, Banholzer Clinic, 316th Medical Group, Joint Base Andrews.

I am very proud of her and all that she has accomplished, being in the Army since age 18 and mother of a college student attending St. Augustine College in Raleigh, North Carolina. As an Army Reservist, she tries her hardest to enjoy the little things with her daughter, because being in the military can take her to many places. She has traveled the world, seen different countries and states, but her best moments were being there for her daughter. Looking back on her first school Christmas Pageant, to the after-school activities and festivals, Girl Scout meetings, seeing her go to prom, and now in college. Being a mom has made life a little more resilient, to be able to fight the good fight and return home to see her loving face. This is what being a mom has done for her. Joyce Forrest, Financial Management Analyst, and her daughter, U.S. Army Reserves Staff Sgt. Joanne R. Forrest.

Being a military mom means having to be stronger than you ever knew possible. It means that you must carry the weight of the mission on your shoulders, go home and then be mom and be there and be present for your kids. Being a military mom also means sometimes missing important moments and learning to appreciate every second you do have and never take a single memory for granted. It also means teaching my kids to chase their dreams and that nothing is impossible to achieve. U.S. Air Force Master Sgt. Cammie Nold with the 559th Medical Squadron at Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph.

I spent 26 years, 3 months, and 28 days in the U.S. Navy. I enlisted in 1983 and 12 years later commissioned as an Ensign. By then I was a mother to two and unknowingly pregnant with my third child. I also was married to an active-duty service member in another branch of the military. We had challenging times navigating our careers as dual military and parenting. The military lifestyle made us all strong, flexible, and independent. Today, my children are grown, well-adjusted, and have great careers of their own. I am still serving as a federal civilian employee and would not change a single thing! Camellia Gatlin, DNP, RN, Chief Nurse at the Lyster Army Health Primary Care Clinic at Fort Novasel.

Being a mother to a new active-duty service member is hard to put into words but it shares some of the same everyday emotions as any mother, I believe. There’s more worry than I’d like to admit. There’s plenty of days that are spent encouraging, being a virtual shoulder to cry on or just a safe space to vent to. There is, however, an overwhelming sense of pride. I am beyond honored to be one of the few that get to receive her many calls of excitement sharing her personal accomplishments and growth.
