I got this from myspace and thought it was funny and wanted to keep it going...Being a Soldiers Wife isnt always easy, but ask one of us if we'd give it up you will hear a resounding quot;HELL NO!quot;(Feel Free to add on ladies!)A Few Thing You Should Know About REAL MILITARY WIVES!!!1. We know the difference between BDU's ACU's and what both acronyms stand for (army wife).2. When our men come home late from work, we dont complain. we are just happy to sleep next to them tonight.3. We would NEVER dream of calling our husbands work/boss and complaining4. We know that endless hours and shitty pay is just the way things are in the military and we deal with it5. No matter who you are, come a few days before the first and the fifteenth you are broke as HELL!6. Unlike what the public would like to think we are well aware that our husbands paychecks do NOT go up in value when we have a child.C'mon ladies add on...
Indeed the wives who are faithful to their husbands when they go off for extended periods of time are to be highly commended. The weak ones will cheat on their husbands when they get lonely. God bless both the military husbands/wives and their service for their country. And don't listen to the superliberal democrats - the military is a very noble organization and those involved are excellent people. I am very happy to see that not all women are slutty, easy girls and that some still take relationships seriously serious.
And while we are rearranging the budget to fit the unexpectant in, we bake a loaf of bread for our husbands buddy that lives in that barrcks and invte them over for dinner so that they can have a homecooked meal instead of DFAC food or take out. We some how always keep everything going soothly eventhough we think that things are falling apart. Edit: And make cookies for FRG, and volunteer to be a friends lamaze coach since her husband is deployed, and make a blanket for the next baby shower, and watch other peoples kids so they can run to the bank, go shopping, get the car fixed etc And count calories so that we can keep our husbands in shape so that they can fit into their Class A's and attend every military party, function or celebration in the cold that starts a 1/2 hour late when you have a tired, hungery , cranky kid Another Edit: And making Army sock monkeys for all your neices and nephews and then you husbands buddies that think they are cool. And listening to hours of Korean and watching Korean movies so your husband can practise while relaxing and spending time with you (I have now come to love Korean flicks and reading sub-titles) And smile when he smile when he comes home in his NASTY smelling PT's and and washing them seperatly so that they do not contaminate the other dirty clothes and then Febreezing the car when he drives his buddies home from PT as well - Oh that smells. And then just smiling and thanking God when he falls asleep on the couch before dinner with your son laying on his chest
OORAH! While I'm not a military wife YET, I'm a soon to be Marine Wife. You're so right on everything you just said, another thing for people If you want to meet the strongest people on the face of the world, meet a military wife. They are the strongest because we put up with everyone's bullshit and We are also the strongest because like your number 2 statment, we don't see our husbands every day, and our husbands might die in their line of work!! KUDOS TO MILITARY WIVES!!! *** you don't care if he comes home dirty, sweaty, smelly, or exhausted, your just glad he's home in your arms. ***When he calls and complains about his rough day, the last thing you think about is telling him how rough your day might have been. You just smile, tell him your doing fine and that you miss him...because any chance you get to talk to him might be the last.
I have a magnet on my fridge that says Boots - $85 Beret - $15 Having them home on the floor - PRICELESS! I have to second the comment about other women complaining because their husband's travel for work. I know just how you feel - my husband is gone 1 week every month. Oh I could just hit them... My favorite - being Household 6 and knowing that he knows damn well who's in charge at home!
