On this episode I chat with Emily to learn some awesome tips and tricks to stay safe while your spouse is away. Lots of these tips can apply for anytime but as military spouses at some point we are going to be without our spouse so these are some extra precautions to take. First, I ask Emily to walk us through what we need to do to keep our home safe. Emily mentions things like securing your garage door, security system and making sure you have well groomed bushes and trees. And she answers the question if dogs really prevent home intruders and gives us some cool data on the topic.
We then chat about personal safety and Emily advices to never jog with headphones and to make sure to always be aware of your surroundings. She also gives some good advice if you are sitting in your car: keep it in either reserve or drive so if something happens you can go right away. If you can go shopping during the day time and park near lights and security cameras.
Other things to know, get the phone numbers list from your spouse for who to call in their unit if you have an emergency. If you are an Air Force spouse find out who the key spouse is and for Army & Navy get the FRG contact info. Remember OPSEC: you don’t want to put your husband or his unit in danger. Also be aware of what you say out loud around strangers or post on social media, you don’t want someone knowing you are going to be home alone for 6 months.
We talk owning a firearm. The rules to know about carrying, your specific state, military base, and car regulations surrounding firearms. Emily gives great advice on proper firearm safety and skills because this is a very serious weapon.
