Every move. Every new school. Every time a military kid starts fresh, there's a story worth hearing and hands-on strategies to help! For educators, family members, and those who work with military families, in this podcast, we listen deeply, learn from experts, and celebrate the lives of military-connected children and young adults. We explore the academic, emotional, and social landscapes they navigate — connecting families and communities to resources, organizations, and schools that help every child show up college-, work-, and life-ready.

Bio: Tyler
Tyler is currently a sophomore at the United States Military Academy and majoring in Economics. He grew up as a military child in the Army and had seven moves before he entered West Point. His choice to attend a service academy built upon a family tradition of service, as his father, grandfather and great-grandfather were all career military officers. He hopes that his experience applying to both USMA and Army ROTC can help others navigate the unique requirements of those and similar programs.
