Military family members tend to have busy schedules full of rides to work, trips to the dry cleaners’, lunch deliveries, shopping at the commissary, speaking in acronyms, lines at the gate, ironing uniforms, keeping up with the house, and tripping over boots in the doorway at the end of the day. That type of schedule doesn’t leave room for staying updated on your favorite websites or news, so I have made it easy for you to find out what’s new on the Military Families site at BellaOnline!

As a military daughter and wife, I know what type of information you are looking for from a dependable military-related source. The Military Families site itself includes information about each branch of service, basic general information, military support ideas, deployment information, event notifications, reviews, and more. You can expect these same topics in your updates.

Weekly newsletters will describe the latest articles, additions to the site, related books and movies, conversations in the Military Families forum, upcoming chats with the Editor or special guests, and answers to your frequently asked questions. I will also be sharing quotes from readers, outside links to information for military members and their families, and articles from other news sources. Freebies or military discounts and specials will show up frequently!

Signing up for the newsletter is quick and simple. Look to the right of this article for the free newsletter sign-up box. Put in your e-mail address. Carefully check the spelling before you submit, so you can be sure to get your newsletters! If at any time you are having trouble receiving the newsletters, e-mail me so I can work with you to keep you updated.

When you give BellaOnline your e-mail address, it is kept private and will not be shared with myself or anyone else on the site. Your IP address is tracked for your protection in case someone else tries to sign you up for newsletters you don’t want! BellaOnline does not sell e-mail addresses to outside sources. You will receive nothing but the Military Families site newsletter.

Immediately after you sign-up you will be sent a test newsletter. Please check to make sure you receive this message. Some e-mail providers may view newsletters as junk mail or catch them in spam filters. You may also need to change your settings to accept messages in HTML format. I will sometimes include pictures in the newsletters, so you will have to unblock the content to see them. Feel free to e-mail me to confirm your receipt or with any questions and suggestions on my contact form.
