Hi Mollie! You came to Hawaii and spoke in (2014) and I enjoyed it so so much. I thought I would share with you! My Grammy passed away when I was 22 and I had just decided I would follow my long time boyfriend to Hawaii where he was stationed. Once I got here I quickly felt lonely and depressed. I had a hard time finding a job that I could use my bachelors with and Tony was a corpsman in weapons company so out of the three years we were here he was only on island for 10 or 11 months total in the 3 years. It made the transition so shitty for me being alone and also not being a “wife” at first since kbay is such a small community and I didn’t live on base. You made me realize after that speaking engagement at the officers club that my Grammy would have told me to enjoy the ride 😊 she was a 22 year navy wife and I was so caught up in grieving losing her as I entered this world where I could’ve used her advice that I forgot to just ask myself what she would’ve done. As we get ready for our first official “pcs” (since we since tied the knot on island) I am feeling more ready for San Diego and not down in the dumps anymore. I am embracing the opportunities that her service has given me. I’m even MISERABLE at the thought of leaving Hawaii now (go figure) so thank you so much for sharing your story! – Mia Bell

We were so pleased to have Mollie attend our Spouse Appreciation Event.  The military lifestyle can be stressful and the timing of this event was perfect – everyone needed to laugh! – MCFTB, MCAS Yuma

The spouses were asking for her. She’s got great energy, and she really has a wonderful story to tell, having been a military spouse. I think she could relate to the (spouses) and (they) could relate to her. On Sunday, 30 March, 200 Marine Corps Base (MCB) Hawaii spouses attended a two hour presentation/performance by author, comedian, and motivational speaker Mollie Gross. As Mollie shared her experiences as a Marine Corps spouse, and the lifetime friends she met along the way; there were tears, laughter, and at the end of it all a bonding with the spouses. Mollies’ energetic and upbeat persona, sent waves of energy through the room exhilarating the spouses. Mollie concluded her visit with an autograph signing of her book, “Confessions of a Military Wife,” and photos and shared stories with each guest. – Bobbie Brock Special Event Coordinator, MCCS, MCB Hawaii
