Military spouses and family members who are looking for up-to-date and reliable information from the Defense Department can now access Military OneSource on their new smartphone app, My Military OneSource.
Users can easily personalize the app by selecting "service member," "military spouse," "family member" or "other," and then by selecting the installation they are closest to. Adding the branch gives more personalized information.
Personalizing the app loads content that might be of interest to you. For example, under the "military spouse" option, you might see content pertaining to your benefits and military life. You can save content and information as a favorite, and find the contact information for your installation.
