MILITARY EX was founded in 2006 by Rhonda Coleman ***** FIVE STAR MILITARY SPOUSE. MILITARY EX has two organizational tiers. MILITARY EX Tier I : the for profit organization which includes social networking, merchandising, production and event companies and MILITARY EX Tier II : the not for profit organization which includes support groups, events, merchandising and outreach services for US Military Members and US Military Families.

Coleman, is happily married to an active duty US Navy Commander who has proudly served his country with over twenty years of stellar service including being deployed worldwide, on IAS in war zones and acting in the capacity of Legal Officer, Chief of Staff, Executive Officer, Nuclear Engineer, Chief Engineer, Communications Officer and Department Head during his career. The Coleman's have traveled extensively and lived across the globe while on official business and pleasure.

Rhonda Coleman is actively involved in multiple charities including three that she personally founded. Currently she devotes her time between raising her four children, Managing her own businesses, Writing screen plays and film making. Her focus and the MILITARY EX agenda is to shed light on the alarming trends in the consistent destruction of the US Military Family which has plagued generations and continues to do so.

The numerous non Military Member spouses of career Military officers with ranks ranging from 03 to 07, from all branches of the US Armed Forces, anxiously convened for this noble mission vowing to finally break their silence in support of preserving the AMERICAN MILITARY FAMILIES. The MILITARY EX Board of Director members offer their time, tears, sweat equity, support, experience, and knowledge to advance their agenda. The MILITARY EX speak out after years of enduring this Military lifestyle to demand accountability, an increase in the pay, benefits, and the quality of life for all military families.

MILITARY EX has become the 'voice' of the hurting, silent, uninformed, AMERICAN MILITARY FAMILY victims and the often blacklisted military members or non member spouses who speak out against these policies and hardships. Most military members and military families are simply silenced by a system that discourages complete honesty or disclosure of the facts. These military members and families live in constant fear that if they do speak out against this super power war machine, The US Military, that they will lose their sources of income, employment and promotion opportunities or worse !

Sky rocketing rates across the board in divorce, suicides among active duty members, murders, other serious crimes committed by military members, stress disorders, harassment, sexual and racial discrimination and a range of addictions including drug, alcohol, porn, sex, and gambling are ruining the lives of our troops and the families that support them! A growing percentage of our troops are returning in designer American flag body bags which will forever cripple these AMERICAN MILITARY FAMILIES. The returning service members who do make it out alive, return from combat zones, retire and quickly become disillusioned about the realities of the elusive American dream when they are unable to secure high paying civilian or government jobs upon their exit from years of patriotic Military service. These patriotic pawns are unable to provide for their families and live a paycheck away from near poverty on the fringes of society. Our veterans become further victims of a system that has turned its back on them.

Our politicians, War mongers, Corporate CEOs, the jet set and the affluent get richer and enjoy their lives in the lap of luxury while toasting champagne flutes to the American dream they have secured. The very individuals who fought on the front lines for the freedoms and lifestyles that every American citizen takes for granted are further victimized by the US Government, US Military and the citizens of this country.

Where is the American dream for the military members? Veterans are embarrassed and deeply afraid to admit they have disorders, mental or physical issues, due to the attached stigmas. Often these vets do not obtain help because of the shame. Our vets agonize over not being able to provide for their families. Vets are in despair over their broken families and most have had their marriages torn apart due to the strains of deployments, the ill effects of war and military service obligations. Veterans continue live with the realities and the difficulties of the military lifestyle even after their service obligation ends. These unresolved issues are tearing families apart and eroding the very foundation of our society.

The US Military train wreck families are always carefully hidden from the world community and kept as America's dirtiest little secret because our government and the military prioritize its super power image, the pursuit of capitalism, the appearance of global do gooder and spinning positive PR. The safety, well being, mental health of military members or the preservation of military marriages and quality of life for families and dependents are clearly not the priority for our government and the military leaders. No one is doing enough to make changes in this broken system. When we will convene Senate hearings to discuss the military dependents who are suffering? The clinically depressed, neglected, at risk children who will never reach their full potential or become productive, contributing members of society because they have suffered due to this lifestyle? When will we have our politicians try to understand and stop the Military divorce hemorrhaging? When is someone going to insure that our vets are provided guaranteed, high paying jobs after their tours end? When is the blacklisting and the attempts to silence the whistle blowers going to stop? When is someone going to stand up and make sure our military members are safe, well trained, well protected and not dumped on foreign soil, directly in harms way just to keep the billion dollar business of war going for capitalistic gains? When is someone going to do more than say we support our troops as our military members are dying by the thousands on the front lines? When will our nation finally empathize and actually realize the hardships that military Families endure daily? Each and every one of our military members are returning as damaged goods from these wars. They come back either maimed, suffering from disorders, nightmares, addictions, diseases or disabilities that are incurable. These are strangers that we hardly recognize and empty, cold, frightened shells of the people we once knew and loved. The US Government and the US Military refuse to accept the burden of responsibility that its military occupations create and their very acts of denial substantially increase the likelihood of this tragic AMERICAN MILITARY FAMILY destruction crisis to continue.

Remember how women in our nation were treated as second class citizens even having to fight for the right to vote? Remember that our nation looked the other way during slavery because it benefited from free labor. Remember racism then and the horrors of civil rights violations? Remember when big tobacco denied that cigarettes were harmful? Remember when our government installed foreign puppets and removed them at will when these regimes fell out of favor and didn't suit their agenda? Remember how minorities and the poor are viewed by the majority of our national power base and politicians? Remember the victims of Hurricane Katrina and what still is a mass wasteland that has yet to be repaired? Remember that the MILITARY EX agenda is to protect military members and preserve the AMERICAN MILITARY FAMILIES by speaking out, righting the wrongs, obtaining the respect, the rights and the benefits that our nation's heroes deserve. Remember these military members are on the front lines as pawns in wars we all may not understand nor agree with. Remember that together, with one big voice, a courageous community and effective political leaders who are devoted to the AMERICAN MILITARY FAMILY we will create positive changes.

MILITARY EX is executing an aggressive, innovative campaign agenda to bulldoze through the bureaucratic blunders insuring a better career and life experience for our first and most important family, The AMERICAN MILITARY FAMILY. The MILITARY EX spouses are fighting their toughest war yet; the war to save their marriages and families from the hazards of Military life. The MILITARY EX are fighting to protect their Military Member spouses from post traumatic stress, other disorders, addictions, diseases, death and the many occupational hazards of a military career. The MILITARY EX are fighting for the respect that their military members richly deserve but have yet to fully receive including substantially increased pay, benefits, incentives, resources, programs, non biased clinical trials for military service medical issues and guaranteed employment upon the end of military service. The MILITARY EX are demanding the highest quality of life for their families and superior educational opportunities for military dependents in order to prepare them to contribute, compete and become the next generation of world leaders.
