“…Differential associations for AD and civilian spouses were also noted within the model for community connections. As we expected based on previous research indicating the benefits military members glean from strong community connections (DeGraff et al., ; Russo & Fallon, ), AD members with more community connections were better able to cope with the demands of military life. While civilian spouses' connections to the military community were related to greater satisfaction with military life, their community connections were unrelated to their ability to cope with the demands of military life.…”

Likewise, military service or aspects of service life are often identified as antecedents of well‐being (DeGraff, O'Neal, & Mancini, ); however, for many, the decision to enter the military is a result of some aspect of personal experience and family history.
