At this time of year, many Army families find themselves on the move following the receipt of a new assignment order. In our Your Home section, we take a look at what we can all do to make the stressful moving process run more smoothly. This edition’s special feature, ‘Faith and fatigues’ focuses on the Royal Army Chaplains’ Department and what our Padres can offer the Service community.

Many of us have given up a successful and lucrative career to be with our soldier. So, what’s the solution? Workplace looks at some inspiring internet–based businesses which spouses have been able to continue even when they move house. From the 14-19 strategy to the facts on Continuity of Education Allowance, our Education pages have plenty of reassuring information for parents.

As usual, we have a bumper Postbag which is full of interesting and thought provoking letters and, if you fancy a treat this summer, don’t forget to enter our fabulous Reader Giveaways.
