Review for United Service Organizations Inc, Arlington, VA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

As with any organization, one person may have one experience and another have a very different experience. For me, Tide detergent doesn't work, but that doesn't color my entire view of PnG. Running into one ill-informaed volunteer should not color your experience with the entire organization. For me and my family, the USO has been a valuable resource for support, sometimes being the only people I could lean on in a difficult situation. The USO provides a quite place to rest in an airport, a place to find community and maybe a "senior wife" to lend perspective to a situation one might only face as a military spouse. USO volunteers have stood by me in remote locations where I never would have suspected they even had a presence, but they did. Every interaction I have had with the USO has been superior.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

the support they provide informed by their intimate knowledge of the issues military families face.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

add more airport locations, like TPA, and move a few of them inside security like ATL or Dulles.

Role:  Client Served & Received services from the USO on numerous occasions during the 26 years of my husband's career.
