Introducing our first Boots on the Ground spotlight: Chelsea Bader Rushing
Chelsea is a military spouse, mom of three, and content creator who's made it her mission to help families find the good at every duty station — because "there's nothing to do here" is never really true.
She started out managing her husband's YouTube channel, and it grew into something all her own: a career she can pack up and take with her wherever the Army sends them next. Now she's bringing that same energy to Fort Campbell, sharing honest local favorites, kid-friendly adventures, date-night ideas, events, small businesses, and all the PCS tips she wishes someone had handed her on day one.
Chelsea also kicked things off by writing our very first blog post on the Honest Guide, over on the Clarksville Standard — go check it out (link in the comments below). She dives into something every family here should hear: wherever you land, on post or off, it's easy to stay in your own little bubble. Her honest take is to get out and explore both sides of the gate, because Clarksville is a city of "exits" and each area feels different, and to be intentional about staying connected to the Fort Campbell community too, even if you live farther away. A little drive time is part of the deal here, and it shouldn't stop you from finding the good on either side.
