Wanna make your soldier do a double take when he returns from Iraq? TMWC is partnering with "Capessa.com ":http://capessa.comto give a few lucky ladies the chance to give their husbands a welcome back surprise that will be sure to remind him just how great it is to come home. The women we select to participate will be filmed for a series of online videos that will be published in the fall.
Have you ever thought about joining the military? I can't say that I ever have and here are some of my reasons. Please feel free to comment and add yours!
I am tired of being labeled as a "military wife". My sister is married to an police officer and she isn't being called a "police's wife". It just bothers me because I work at a marketing firm and make twice as much as my husband and why don't they call him "marketing husband". LOL IDK, its just all juvenile to me and it just bothers me when I am labeled. Though I am not saying that some wives do have hard jobs, but why be labeled like that?

I don't think military wife is anything offensive. To me, it's a special group of women who all really have to experience the same thing...our husbands being gone for several months for many years to fight for our country. It's just not the same as a police officer's wife or a plumber's wife or whatever else.
bc you come to true "military wives" confessions. Duh!
I agree. I'm not a $BRANCH wife anymore than he's an $AGENCY husband. We've each got our own careers and achievements. I identify myself as $AGENCY first and find $BRANCH spouse to be irrelevant.
If I'm going to identify as a "military [something]", I'm going to identify as a military veteran. However, most of the time, I'd prefer to just be called by my name, and regarded as a fellow human being. Nothing more, nothing less.
I did not marry the military. I married my husband. The closest I probably ever got to marrying the military is when I raised my right hand and took my oath of enlistment. Marrying someone in the military does not tie you to the military. It ties you to that person. Enlisting or commissioning ties you to the military.
I find the term "military wife" to be kind of a misnomer.
My sister in law is a police wife. Part of a police wife group as well!
i am proud to be an Army wife, period. And you should be too.
because a policeman's wife doesn't have to go 15 months without seeing her husband. because we are a special type of people in a special type of relationship. because we are proud & strong. because your husband is a soldier, and you should be happy to be called his wife, life, and support.
and if you don't, then quit whining about it & let the rest of us enjoy it.
I consider it an honor. But then again, my husband is a very honorable man.
I can't think of another profession that permeates and affects the lives of all family members more than the military. While being an Army wife doesn't dictate who I am or how I see myself, it's relevance in lives can't be ignored. It's not an insult, and it doesn't have to mean that's all you are, but it does speak a great deal about your life.
eye roll get over it.
It's just a term, get over it. That's a long post for "not caring".
oh good god. what's wrong couldnt find anything else to complain about?
