  • Dog Tag Diaries provides a platform for military women to tell their stories and speak their truths. We are not only raising awareness about military trauma, and mental health but fostering a supportive community where women can find strength and inspiration in each other's stories. It's an informative way to reduce stigma and promote healing through open dialogue and exploration of therapeutic modalities. Our goal is to increase connections among women to offer empowerment, encouragement, and a sense of belonging as we each navigate the unique challenges and experiences faced by women in the military. Each week we’ll invite a woman who has served in the military to share her experience and how it has impacted her, or we will bring in a guest who can speak about the healing abilities of specific therapeutic methods. This is a podcast you don’t want to miss.

    Navigating the Waves: A Pre and Post 9/11 Gay Servicewoman's Journey -9
    2024/08/07

    In this episode of Dog Tag Diaries, we sit down with a remarkable woman who served both before and after 9/11. She shares her experiences as a Damage Controlman, the challenges she faced in a pre-repeal "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" military, and her journey of navigating life and service on her own terms.

    Prepare to be inspired by Jenifer Groves' raw and unfiltered experience. Faced with childhood trauma, Jenifer chose faith and resilience to guide her path. Jenifer touches on life before and after 9/11, shedding light on the controversial "don't ask, don't tell" policy and its impact on LGBTQ+ service members like herself. As she recounts her hardships, including a "marriage of convenience" that was more necessary than convenient, and traumatic separations from her children, Jenifer offers crucial insights into the unique challenges military women face. Her candid advice to women considering a military career— "Don’t lose your voice"—is a powerful call to action, encouraging listeners to champion the stories and struggles of military women. With grit, she balanced motherhood and deployments, raising two children who later joined the military.
