5 FORT KNOX, Ky. A recent call from Army Chief of Staff Gen. James McConville for installations to start providing work space for spouses is being answered by Fort Knox senior leaders, with a twist.
The directive focuses on carving out spaces for spouses who desire to start or grow their own business, or remotely work in a more office-friendly environment rather than from home.
“We’ve seen it throughout our careers. As we travel through duty stations, our spouses have really struggled,” said Command Sgt. Maj. William Fogle, senior enlisted advisor at Fort Knox Garrison. “They’ve sacrificed, not just dealing with our deployments and having to be home alone and raising a family without us, they’ve truly struggled with their own careers.”
