Welcome to Helen

Today we speak with Helen, the lovely Royal Navy wife of 19years! From deployments to weekending, we talk which is easier/less disruptive…how to cope with separation, coping mechanisms and how to explain the ‘in-out’ life to kids. From not knowing anything about the Military before meeting her husband, the steep learning curve has kept her on her toes. We also discuss her current role in the Royal Navy Association - Youth crew project, a fantastic initiative to get children of Royal Navy, RFA and Royal Marines on the water and meeting other children living a familiar life! She tells her story and offers lived through advice, including but not limited to: “If it’s a god day - bank it, if not, move on!” Enjoy!!
