Spouses Rejoice: The New Volunteer Management Information System Is Easier to Navigate A check is presented representing the amount of dollars saved from volunteer service, during a recognition ceremony held at Camp Darby. (DVIDS/Chiara Mattirolo) 11 Feb 2021 Spouse volunteers may have reason to rejoice. After decades of frustration from military spouse volunteers over the old Volunteer Management Information System (VMIS) site -- which was unstable, inaccessible on Apple products and rarely updated -- a new system was rolled out Jan. 11. While a new system to log hours won't fix the problem of finding volunteers or showing them they are valued beyond their hourly contribution, it could at least help out those who were so frustrated by the old system -- including me -- that they simply stopped attempting to log their hours. It never seemed worth the effort.
