Laura Wilson, 71st student squadron key spouse mentor, wrote an awesome article with UPT advice for new and incoming STUS spouses and significant others! It was published in this week's Vance Air Scoop! Thanks for always mentoring and working to make life better for Vance Spouses, Laura!

"Five & Thrive" is an initiative by AF Chief of Staff Spouse, Sharene Brown, to address the most challenging issues facing military spouses today. The "Thrive Spouse Guide" (link below) is an incredible resource for spouses... & tbh, AD, as well.

I highly recommend checking out Military One Source! It has information on everything (tons on pcsing!). I had someone describe it to me as a Buc-ee’s for the military life- It has EVERYTHING! If you’ve been to Buc-ee’s, you know what I mean. If you haven’t, next time you are in Texas, check one out 😂. In the meantime, checkout the awesome resources from Military One Source!

Military OneSource can help you with just about anything related to military life. Whether it’s help for PCS moves, relationship counseling, document translation, child care options or financial counseling, we can provide you with expert support or connect you with someone who can.

The Vance student pilot handbook has good information for active duty and families.

Welcome! This the public page for the 71st Student Squadron's spouse/significant others group affectionately known as the "STUCAN Flock." When you arrive at Vance we will connect you with our private group. In the meantime, we hope this page provides you with information and a point of contact for questions that arise during your move. Please check out the valuable resources below that we hope will help you with your move and expectations during your time at Vance.
