Year of the Air Force Family: 2009 Survey of Active-Duty Spouses

Air Force leaders are concerned about the well-being of airmen’s families, but are the programs set up for their benefit doing enough? To find out the answers to this and other issues, the Air Force asked RAND to survey the spouses of active-duty airmen. The main concerns related to children, finances, employment, and the effects of moves and deployments. By and large, however, the families were satisfied with Air Force life.
