I am often asked about being married to a General.  Believe me it has its benefits but it is not always easy.  Brigadier General Carol Ann Fausone has spent 32 years wearing the Air Force blue uniform with assignments all over the world.  Currently, she is the Assistant Adjutant General for Veterans Affairs in the State of Michigan.  

 Veterans Day 2010, she will travel the State and give a dozen speeches.  One good assignment is being the Officer of the Day at the Illinois v Michigan football game’s ceremony honoring veterans. The General gets field access with the ROTC and sky box access with the Regents. Not a bad job for the spouse who tags along.  She recently gave a presentation at the University of Michigan where she obtained her nursing degree.
