A Note to Military Spouses

Military Spouses seeking employment should come to the Career Resource Center and talk to Bob Leeds, our Family Member Employment Assistance Program manager. His phone number is 577-6491.

Spouse Transition Classes Every spouse with a deployed military sponsor, knowing that the service person will retire or end active service shortly after returning to Miramar, is invited and encouraged to attend our four-day transition class to learn information that might assist the family with future relocation and employment. Spouses may make a reservation 30 to 60 days in advance of the class date desired by calling 577-6710 and talking to Ben or Larry. Spouses are always welcome to attend our transition program when their military service member attends.
