It's been a long understood issue with regard to moving your family around with the military. It's always hard to find employment for your spouses. When the member, who is the breadwinner in the family, is transitioning, it makes that even harder.
There was the METSpouse program. It's still active. My wife tried to use that program when we relocated, and the opportunities were marginal entry-level opportunities that would not help our situation. Most of them were nighttime, call centre-type jobs. If she had some priority entitlement or a regulatory entitlement to just see the rest of the federal jobs that were out there.... I'm not saying to get them to the front of the line by any means, but just a little more help during that transition period.
