Omni Hampton grew up in a military family, traveling from place to place. She swore she’d never marry a military member. That was before she became a navy wife and mother.
Life as a military spouse comes with challenges, from getting used to life on the move to having a spouse who is often absent for months on end.
For Omni Hampton, juggling marriage and motherhood in a military family has provided adventure, frustration, and a unique insight into the true meaning of home.
On a new episode of KPBS Explore podcast "My First Day," host Andrew Bracken talks to Hampton about her "drop and go" life.
