24.01.2022 Nature face making at playgroup today! So great to be out in this cool weather! Thanks Beck for planning it!

24.01.2022 Book Club post Hello everyone, Initially we had planned to hold Book Club in June, but we have had many new members express interest in joining, so we have postponed book club until July to give everyone a chance to get reading! ... The book we are reading is How to be a Woman by Caitlin Moran (its hilarious and very relatable!) The July Book Club catch up will be kid friendly - in fact, we are also going to select a kids book so that they can join in the fun too! (Book to be announced shortly!) We are looking forward to seeing you all and cant wait to hear your thoughts on the book! If you have any questions, please dont hesitate to let us know! Our private book club facebook group can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/181585302749955/

23.01.2022 Attention all members! Due to special circumstances, DRFC wishes to inform you that ALL events and playgroups have been postponed until further notice. Please keep an eye out for more info coming soon. ... We thank you all for your understanding at this time.

23.01.2022 A Military Wife Lots of moving... Moving... Moving...... Moving far from home... Moving two cars, three kids and one dog...all riding with HER of course. Moving sofas to basements because they wont go in THIS house; Moving curtains that wont fit; Moving jobs and certifications and professional development hours. Moving away from friends; Moving toward new friends; Moving her most important luggage: her trunk full of memories. Often waiting... Waiting... Waiting... Waiting for housing. Waiting for orders. Waiting for deployments. Waiting for phone calls. Waiting for reunions. Waiting for the new curtains to arrive. Waiting for him to come home, For dinner...AGAIN! They call her Military Dependent, but she knows better: She is fiercely In-Dependent. She can balance a check book; Handle the yard work; Fix a noisy toilet; Bury the family pet... She is intimately familiar with drywall anchors and toggle bolts. She can file the taxes; Sell a house; Buy a car; Or set up a move... .....all with ONE Power of Attorney. She welcomes neighbors that dont welcome her. She reinvents her career with every PCS; Locates a house in the desert, The Arctic, Or the deep south. And learns to call them all home. She MAKES them all home. Military Wives are somewhat hasty... They leap into: Decorating, Leadership, Volunteering, Career alternatives, Churches, And friendships. They dont have 15 years to get to know people. Their roots are short but flexible. They plant annuals for themselves and perennials for those who come after them. Military Wives quickly learn to value each other: They connect over coffee, Rely on the spouse network, Accept offers of friendship and favors. Record addresses in pencil... Military Wives have a common bond: The Military Wife has a husband unlike other husbands; his commitment is unique. He doesnt have a JOB He has a MISSION that he cant just decide to quit... Hes on-call for his country 24/7. But for her, hes the most unreliable guy in town! His language is foreign TDY PCS OPR SOS ACC BDU ACU BAR CIB TAD And so, a Military Wife is a translator for her family and his. She is the long- distance link to keep them informed; the glue that holds them together. A Military Wife has her moments: She wants to wring his neck; Dye his uniform pink; Refuse to move to Siberia; But she pulls herself together. Give her a few days, A travel brochure, A long hot bath, A pledge to the flag, A wedding picture, And she goes. She packs. She moves. She follows. Why? What for? How come? You may think it is because she has lost her mind. But actually it is because she has lost her heart. It was stolen from her by a man, Who puts duty first, Who longs to deploy, Who salutes the flag, And whose boots in the doorway remind her that as long as he is her Military Husband, She will remain his military wife. And would have it no other way --Jane Hyde

21.01.2022 He has a sense of duty to his country. To go. To fight. To make a difference. He has a sense of duty to his family. To his wife. To his kids. And sometimes, he cant do both at the same time. Sometimes he has to go away, and do his job, and try to be there for his family across the miles.

17.01.2022 Join us this week for playgroup at Bunnings Rouse Hill,1030-12pm,Wednesday 26th and for our coffee catch up at Defence Richmond Family Centre, 10-12, Friday 28th. Keep an eye out for our July calendar for up and coming fun events and activities!! We look forward to seeing you!!

17.01.2022 Playgroup was all about embracing the paint today and the children had a blast doing it! The paint is smooth, the glitter is rough and the sponges were squishy, so the children got a mixture of textures. There were different colour paints and different colour and shaped sponges which encouraged colour and shape recognition. We also read a story about feelings, today's choice taught us how to handle our emotions when we aren't feeling happy. Reading these books helps children understand their emotions and healthy ways of expressing them.

17.01.2022 It's all about perspective... Such a good reminder for all of us helping to raise military kids!

12.01.2022 This was one of our most popular shared posts last year. For more on working for the ADF and your tax go to the Australian Taxation Office website. https://w...ww.ato.gov.au//Australian-Defence-Force-members-/ #DefenceFamilies #TaxTime #Deductions Dont forget the ADF Financial Consumer Centre also has tips for tax time. https://adfconsumer.gov.au/how-to-lodge-a-tax-return/

11.01.2022 I have posted this photograph before but it has left such an impression on my mind I have to post it again. Anzac Day March, London, 1919. An Australian soldier..., who lost both his legs, being carried into Australia House to obtain a position of vantage to view the Anzac Day March through the streets. In our political correct world, some believe the term mateship should be changed to friendship. Every Australian should see this photograph and understand that to those Australians who have served their country in war, mateship meant everything. Lest We Forget. Photograph came from the Australian War Memorial.

10.01.2022 LETS GO HOME Hollywood has a lot to answer for when it comes to returning from active service. According to them, our guys get off the ship/plane/unimog, we r...un into their arms, the music surges, they wrap us up, theres a mad pash and we walk out towards togetherness and happier days. If only. In the days leading up to their arrival we are on high alert waiting for the signal advising when and where they will be landing. We feel nervous and excited at the same time. Depending on where we are posted they could arrive anytime day or night. If its a charted flight then they pretty much go from one airport to another until the route is complete. In the lead up were racing around preparing. Waxing. Hair. Lingerie. New outfit. Outfits for the kids. Maybe well make a sign. Suddenly theres so much more to do. We have no idea how long its been since we shaved our legs. Depending on the time of arrival, maybe well book a babysitter and maybe not. Waiting at the airport is really quite stressful. You havent seen each other for months. You dont know whats happened, what theyve seen or how much the tour might have changed them. You know its changed you. Will they still want this new more reliant, resilient, independent version of you? Will you still want them? Youve lived without them for 9 months. Have they lived without you? How will they fit back in? How will you fit back together? After the plane lands you wait for them to clear Immigration and Customs. There may or may not be other families there waiting. You may or may not know them and depending on your levels of anxiety you may or may not interact. Youre there together but mostly you wait separately. The first soldier walks through those doors. Easily identifiable by the pile of esh bags loaded on their trolley. Gratefulness wells up in your heart, tears sting your senses, and even while they are not yours, you fight down emotions watching them greet their family. One by one. They appear. Finally its your turn. There he is. Walking towards you. It really is happening. You feel the tears swell up in your eyes but you dont cry. Not crying is something you got good at while they were away. Not crying is how you got through this. Youre relieved and proud. Proud of yourself and proud of him. This is for real and you made it. You didnt think you could carry the emotional burden of having given up the person you love most to service. You remember your parting at the airport. Again, nowhere near the Hollywood standard. Just you and him and the kids and the raw emotion on display for everyone to see. You let him go with a hug because there was no more room. The emotional space taken up by your anguished children who truly believed this was it and they were going to have to grow up without their dad. Their grief so evident. So you made it easier for him, and them, by not showing yours. Being brave and accepting was your parting gift, because he had a job to do and you needed him to be focused. That job was to get back. You needed him to get back to you. I dont care what kind of condition you are in. Physically or mentally. Just come back to me. We can work everything else out from there. I promise. Just come home. And then he was gone. Return embraces are not always passionate. Sometimes they are awkward and mechanical. Apart from the kids, and ROCL, you havent been touched by another person in 9 months. Youre used to no physical contact. Youre used to your own personal space. Being detached and distant is what got you through. Its how you survived. Youre emotional and shattered. There is very little in the tank. You dont even have the energy to break. Its been a slog and youre exhausted. Its then that you realise. This is all that remains. Leftovers. Hes getting the leftovers. It may be over but its not the end. Its just the next chapter, and we all know next chapters are not without their challenges. At this point in time you know youre not facing them alone. There will be drama. There will be ups and downs. But youre not alone. So, you breathe, step forward and start that first stage in the journey from you to them. Lets go home.

10.01.2022 For anyone after a beautiful way to store their medals - with the profits going to a good cause. The logo and service are changed, the navy box shown is an example.

10.01.2022 If your calendar doesnt look like a child took a red pen to it are you even a milspouse?

04.01.2022 POSTING SEASON Forget Fighting Season, if you want real life Defence Family drama with blood, sweat and tears then you just need to experience Posting Season! V...IEW a posting order in PMKeys to a place youve never heard of for a position none of you have ever discussed and didnt want. Deal with the shock, pain and rejection of not getting any of your preferences over the next 24-48 hours. Tell yourself you wont tell anyone until you can deal with it in a more positive way. IMMEDIATELY contact your BFF and Family to bitch and moan about your change in circumstances. Start most of your sentences with profanity. RELEASE pressure in order to stop you blurting it out and breaking down at work. Remain professional and try to continue as if nothing has happened knowing full well youre on borrowed time and will be needing a reference sometime in the next six months. DECIDE to go through everything you own one room at a time. Formulate an amazing plan such as sorting into piles for throwaway, take and sell. Actually start out implementing this strategy. Get distracted by Christmas parties, Christmas shopping, Christmas cards, school breakups, end of year kids sporting functions, a multitude of final goodbyes and coffee dates that sees you having more farewell tours than John Farnham. START listing stuff on Facebook and Gumtree. Get fed up with people, wanting more photos, measurements or trying to haggle your already more than reasonable price. Block them all. Decide to list some things as free but needs to be gone today, and take the rest to the new locality. Youre sure to sell them there. ASK your partner repeatedly to take the throwaway items to the tip, Remind him off and on over the next six months. Move these items from the spare room into the hallway where he can trip over them as a daily prompt to ensure he doesnt forget. On the day of uplift ask removalists to pack and make a mental note to discard the other end. LOGIN and update your TOLL inventory. Ask yourself how you managed to amass so much shit in such a short time. Carry out your walk through inspection with your TOLL rep and try not to cry / break into a rage for everything they say they cannot take for whatever ridiculous reason. FIND A FRIEND who lives local and offload all your opened pantry items, half empty bags of frozen peas, pot-plants, cleaning fluids, tins of oil, paint and anything else from your life prohibited by the removalists. ATTEND your local servo / swap n go outlet and haggle to return your half full bottle of gas for an empty so you can start afresh at your new location without losing your deposit. POST in your local spouse group asking for the good, the bad and the ugly of your intended posting locality. Try to find out all about the schools, housing, childcare and suburbs before you have secured anything on Homefind. REFRESH Homefind daily, hourly, minutely, as required at any time day and night. Remind yourself that the constantly refreshed disappointment is one less no youll have to contend with and that youre one step closer to your yes moment. Post in your local spouse group for people to put their paperwork in asap so their homes can show up. Never mind that they might be a different entitlement or family structure to you. Desperation is not about the details. CONTACT all the schools in those suburbs. Request registration forms and prospectus. Register kids at the three most suitable schools. Pay registration fees and hope thats enough to secure their place. REJOICE at logging in and finding one house up on the system. Call/text/PM your partner to have a look. Try to be brave when they call you back to tell you its gone. Only three more weeks til uplift, theres still plenty of time. RESIGN from your job. Lose all your entitlements. Do not pass GO and do not collect $200. START applying for jobs in your new locality despite not being sure where you will live. Tell yourself youll commute for the right job. BOOK your pets into kennels. Ask your dog not to bite anyone this time. Dont ask your cat anything hes gonna do what hes gonna do and hes not going to care. Outlay thousands of dollars in pet relocation fees up front. MEET and greet your DHA rep for your walk through pre-vacation inspection. Get pinged for stuff thats been wrong n the house for the entire period youve lived in it. Receive an estimate in the area of several thousand dollars and more than ten times your fortnightly rent payment. Find out your house is so old its being demolished but you still have to restore it or pay all charges if its not left in or better than its original condition. Whisper WTF to yourself constantly whilst exchanging glances throughout the entire process. Secretly and not so secretly wish you were in a private rental where only your bond could get taken. HAVE your pre posting screaming match - one of potentially many - being aware theres still loads of opportunities and plenty more triggers to come. STRESS about not having a house to move to. Wake up intermittently to refresh Homefind. Find a house at 03:58am. OMG its got four bedrooms and youre only entitled to three! Wake your partner to have a look. Lock it in at 04:02am. At 04:03 post in your spouse group about that street / suburb / area as none of the data you collected earlier is now relevant. Feel smug, think briefly about all the other people who wont have anywhere to live before having make-up sex and the best sleep youve had in five months. CONTACT all schools in the new area. Re-request prospectus, re-register kids, re-pay registration fees. Lose fees on other schools in other areas due to small print stating they are non refundable. NOTICE the distance between locations is only just less than the mandatory 1288kms. Realise you now have to each drive your own cars 13 hours to the new posting as you dont meet the criteria to travel together in the one vehicle. Ask yourselves what idiot decided this and why. Understand the allowances for driving that car are more than the cost of freighting it but future charges of fraud act as a great deterrent. Schedule an appointment with your local GP. Discover the quiet introverted lady who did your pap smear is pretty good at all manner of expletives on this matter. Receive a letter from them stating you are required to travel together. Submit to TOLL. Receive approval for vehicle transport. ORGANISE the disconnect and reconnect of your utilities. Discover your new area is not serviced by Fast Connect. Get rejected for disconnection because your account is in your partners name. Plead, explain, beg the provider to work with you as they are out bush. Get rejected due to privacy laws. Forget about utilities until you are on the road. Frantically try to set up online on the way while dropping in and out of mobile phone signal. Arrive in locality, discover utilities are connected and have no idea who your provider is. ARRIVE in location. Be aware you are not allowed to have access to your new address but drive past anyway. Discover you have no front yard, no backyard, no side yard, no shed and no gate access. Make plans to store your boat/ute/trailer/other items on base if allowed. If not allowed secure to the tree out front with a sophisticated set up of chains and padlocks. UNDERGO your DHA Welcome Visit. Find out your house has been vacant for six months, theres a bunch of maintenance to be done, whatever lawn you have is knee deep, your hedges are sky high, you cant get NBN, oh, and you have no en-suite. Your house is the fish John West and every body else reject. OBSERVE the plight of others in your online and face to face community groups and be happy you have a house. Things could be much worse. PREPARE mentally and emotionally for down-lift day where you will be able to assess the amount of loss and damage which as occurred during your removal. PICK UP your pets easily the best day of removal. Feel good about how happy they are to see you. Notice how your cat begs for forgiveness for whatever it is that he did to get himself put in prison. Briefly consider kennelling him every time hes aloof and ungrateful. DISCOVER your furniture doesnt fit in your new housing configuration. Think about throwing everything away. Like, Every. Single. Thing. Tell your partner to just chuck it all in the street. Drive off in search of coffee. MAKE plans to discard all your rubbish. Discover your local council tip fees are three times what they were interstate. Bring this up with your partner once or twice or three times. Store all that crap on his side of the garage. NOTICE your bin was packed complete with rubbish. Realise youve broken all laws regarding transporting fruit & vegetable scraps interstate. Cross your fingers and hope you havent introduced a new species of banana freckle or fruit fly to the area. SOMETIME in the next 3-4 months have your post posting meltdown. As often as needed, dry your eyes and tell yourself everything is going to be alright. CONTINUE living your life as best you can. Below: Actual pic of how someone feels after posting. (Ok not really). Image credit: https://www.imdb.com/tit/tt6870990/mediaviewer/rm3729532160
