PING: Wikkeddoll

someone e-mailed this to a yahoogroup today, and I immediately thought of
you.....




25 Ways you know that you are a Military spouse
1. You yell at your kids saying, "Don't make me email your father!"
2. Your neighbors know you but have never seen your active-duty husband.
3. Your conversations are sprinkled with PCS, TAD, LES, etc., and you know
what they mean.
4. You have had 8 address changes in 9 years and you are not on the run from
the law.
5. The front hall closet of your home is designated as a uniform closet.
6. Your spouse will be gone for 2 weeks from his job and you think, "Is that
all? No problem."
7. The radiator blows up on the car and the washing machine dies just as
your spouse leaves for temporary duty.
8. You aren't surprised when you get 4 days notice for a 4 month deployment.
9. You don't know your own Social Security number, but you know your spouses
by heart.
10. You are in a disagreement with a bill collector and say, "Let me speak
to your commander!"
11. You spend your second wedding anniversary alone.
12. You move your day care business from one state to another and still have
the same children enrolled.
13. You have a collection of different shapes, sizes, and colors of window
treatments for the same room.
14. Your heart races when you hear the doorbell ring during a deployment.
15. You've done more oil changes and mowed more lawns than your spouse
because he's never there to do it himself.
16. You remember milestones by duty stations.
17. All your kids, including your 2 yr old, stop what they are doing and put
their hands over their hearts whenever they hear the national anthem.
18. You can sleep through the sounds of fighter planes and bombers during
their morning practice.
19. You reach for your ID card when entering a civilian store.
20. You ask someone to hold on by saying, "Standby."
21. Your kids point at anyone wearing BDUs and boots, regardlessof race or
gender and yell "Daddy!" or "Mommy!"
22. You tell the movers the correct way to pack.
23. You notice when Hollywood makes mistakes in portraying the military.
24. Military homecomings on TV bring tears to your eyes because you can
relate so well.
25. You start to read the Army Times in place on Cosmopolitan

LOL

Actually, he gets out more than I do...
[color=blue]

LOL - yes I do, but that's mostly because I used to be active duty myself.
Actually, they've changed a lot of the acronyms, dammit :-) (They don't even
use the AFSC from my day: 90250)
[color=blue]

LOL we're not *that* bad
[color=blue]
> 5. The front hall closet of your home is designated as a uniform closet.[/color]

Hubby has his own half of our walk-in closet :-)
[color=blue]

He was gone for a year, so no, 2 weeks wouldn't faze me hehehe
[color=blue]
> 7. The radiator blows up on the car and the washing machine dies just as

Heh - there are these wonderful people called appliance technicians...
[color=blue]
> 8. You aren't surprised when you get 4 days notice for a 4 month

Not a bit, no - but I certainly pray it doesn't happen! (Hubby has to
maintain a ready-duffel for just such an occasion)
[color=blue]
> 9. You don't know your own Social Security number, but you know your

I know both - but again, that active duty thing I did has something to do
with it. :-)
[color=blue]
> 10. You are in a disagreement with a bill collector and say, "Let me speak
> to your commander!"[/color]

LOL I'm not *that* bad, but I certainly go over peoples' heads when they piss
me off. BUT...when I get outstanding service, or at least a great attitude,
I make sure I speak to the boss for *that* too. It's important, IMO, cuz
people are so quick to criticize!
[color=blue]
> 11. You spend your second wedding anniversary alone.[/color]

Heh - nah he was with me - come to think of it, This recent remote tour of
Korea is the only time he's missed the anniversary; however, he's missed a
couple of my birthdays. Hey, it's cool - he sends me cards, gifts, and tries
to call.
[color=blue]

LOL nah
[color=blue]
> 13. You have a collection of different shapes, sizes, and colors of window

Hehehe - hubby makes us stick with the same stuff till it's in tatters...
[color=blue]
> 14. Your heart races when you hear the doorbell ring during a deployment.[/color]

Thank the lord, I haven't experienced that!
[color=blue]
> 15. You've done more oil changes and mowed more lawns than your spouse
> because he's never there to do it himself.[/color]

I'd like to be able to say I've done that stuff, but really, computers and
other electronic gadgets (Not *those*, you perverts) are my specialty
[color=blue]
> 16. You remember milestones by duty stations.[/color]

LOL guilty - I also do that mother thing of figuring dates by how old the
children were at the time.
[color=blue]

Those slackers of mine? HA! But hubby did that when he was a kid, no doubt
instilled in him by his (very grateful) immigrant parents. I think that's
great
[color=blue]
> 18. You can sleep through the sounds of fighter planes and bombers during

....and loud teenagers
[color=blue]
> 19. You reach for your ID card when entering a civilian store.[/color]

Not that bad...yet LOL
[color=blue]
> 20. You ask someone to hold on by saying, "Standby."[/color]

Heh - not me - probably cuz hubby and I are medical types.
[color=blue]
> 21. Your kids point at anyone wearing BDUs and boots, regardlessof race or
> gender and yell "Daddy!" or "Mommy!"[/color]

LOL nah - they just wanted to wear them.
[color=blue]
> 22. You tell the movers the correct way to pack.[/color]

Damn straight! I don't even allow them to pack my (mostly porcelain) doll
collection, since most of those are irreplaceable.
[color=blue]
> 23. You notice when Hollywood makes mistakes in portraying the military.[/color]

oh HELL yes! So far, only MASH and now Stargate SG-1 get it right! Of
course, SG1 has the full support of the Air Force. General Ryan (Joint
Chiefs of Staff, no less) appeared on SG1 as *himself*, which I know requires
clearance from the top. (You can play another character without permission,
but not yourself in the actual military)

Oh, those got me before I was in, honestly, but of course now it gets me
more. An ep of "Queer Eye For The Straight Guy"
[color=blue]
> 25. You start to read the Army Times in place on Cosmopolitan[/color]

Nope - AIR FORCE times, and Cosmo is crap anyway!

hehehe

The snot - I mean plot - thickens. In another post she says she goes for
handcuffs and a gag. Hmmm, bondage and electric gadgets. Kinky.

Yet another side to Don't Ask, Don't Tell.
