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 getting tired of reading all these posts about how everyone's husbands are assholes, cheating on them, etc. Honestly, the vast majority of these marriages happen because people suck at assessing the personalities of the person they are about to marry. People either overlook shortcomings or think they can magically change them after they have a ring on their finger. Your husband didn't suddenly become an ass- he was one before you married him, you were just too stupid and naive to realize it. Don't expect sympathy for something that was at least 50% your fault.
I seriously need to go on Who Wants to Be A Millionaire- I'm kickin ass today!!
i think i want my husband in the military more than he wants in the military...he loves it but doesnt care if he's out. i got so adjusted to the life that i dont really want it any other way!
My husband really wants to re-up again. This time for good. I think the military has been good for us but the deployments are long. Confused??
My husband wants to make a career of the Navy but I really wish he would just get out so we can have a normal life. He's so determined that I don't want to poop all over his dreams. I don't really know what to do.
I miss being active duty so much...so I have decided that when I finish my degree, I am going back as an officer! I can't wait!! I keep daydreaming about running into asshole people I served with and making them salute me lol!!
Texas sucks.
My fiance told me I was "not allowed" to commission in the Army as an officer. When he gets back I'm leaving him because I can't be with a man who tells me what I can and can not do. Particularly when it comes to serving my country...
I just wish I could break it off sooner...but he isn't stable and I'm worried that causing him distractions now would cause someone (either him or one of his men) to get hurt over there.
7 months and counting and then OCS here I come...
My husband doesn't want to re-enlist. I will support him in whatever he chooses, but I wish he would. I've told him, but he's set on getting out. I guess I'm just afraid.
My Fiance has 2 years left... He doesn't want to re-enlist because he doesn't want to leave me again and his family. I dont want to be away from him either, but I am very uneasy about the money... the usmc is not who he is, its what he does. But... I want him to stay in. He's talked about joining the coast guard but idk...
If someone has in at least 10 years and then gets out, I think they're being stupid. I won't say anything to them unless they ask my opion (not my place). But I told my husband, if he hits that ten year mark, he's halfway to retirment and he needs to stay in. He COMPLETELY agrees with me. And I'm doing the same. We both think it's stupid to be so close to retirment. How many other jobs offer a retirment check after only 20 years? And you're still young enough to start another career! Okay, I feel better getting it off my chest.
Life outside of the military right now is virtually impossible. He's working 2 full time jobs and we still can't make it. We have kids to take care of. He's working on re-enlisting and I cannot fucking wait!
My husband's on his 2nd enlistment and finishing up college. He had been planning on making a career out of the military and becoming a Warrant Officer as soon as he finishes up school (in about 2 yrs). All of a sudden he decides he wants to commision (and become an actual commissioned officer for those who don't understand O1-O9)... I don't know, but for some reason I don't want to b an officr's wife!!!
Just because I say in my confession that I'm active duty don't just assume I'm not. I make a post and suddenly I hear I'm "just a wife" What the fuck?!?
After three years of being a SAHM, I'm going back to active duty. I'm so excited!
I don't want my husband to stay in the military. I love the military life and I'm scared living in the "civilian world" of which I've never lived in. But I know he isn't happy in the military. That's why I really want him to just get out. But he won't. He says it's the best way to take care of our family. I hate that he's determined to stay with a career he hates.
I miss the military I grew up in. Everything is so damn politically correct now.
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 love re-entry. sometimes it takes a few minutes of downtime but not too much. give me three or four minutes and you'll see what's up. giggidy giggidy
I'm prior Navy. After I had my oldest son I went through a very hard battle with postpartum depression. It didn't help that my husband, a Marine, just deployed (thank God he was there for the birth, we were very lucky for that) and Hurricane Katrina hit my hometown where my family and all my friends still lived. I was so depressed and confused that I let a counselor talk me into getting out of the Navy. He thought I'd be happy being a SAHM. Now, three years later I still regret that decision everyday. I can't go back in either. I got out because of my depression and because it was a mental illness they won't take me back. It kills me thinking of the career I gave up.
