Top 10 signs you may not be cut out for a life in (or married to) the military...

One of my New years resolutions for 2012 is to a better Key Spouse for my husband's unit, so tonight in preparation for NYE I decided to start researching "what makes a good military spouse"  I came across this list in another spouses blog and wanted to share this with the people I have reading mine as well. Enjoy...

 

Ojo’s Top 10 signs you may not be cut out for a life in (or married to) the military…

10. If you can’t bear with the thought of not seeing your spouse for longer than a 9-5 shift, you may not be cut out for the military.
9. If you can’t go more than a week without sex without being a witch, you may not be cut out for the military.
8. If you think having kids will get you a better schedule, get you out of a deployment, or get priority for R&R, you may not be cut out for the military.
7. If you can’t handle always being the last to know, you may not be cut out for the military.
6. If you can’t come to terms with the military being top priority and your marriage being second priority, you may not be cut out for the military.
5. Hurry up and wait. Submit a leave request six months in advance, only to find out 3 days before your sister’s wedding that the leave request has been denied because someone effed up a report. Pack your house up, you got orders! Oh nevermind, paperwork got routed wrong. If you can’t adapt to those (constant) annoyances, you may not be cut out for the military.
4. If you can’t handle moving away from family and friends often, possibly every year or two for ten to twenty years, you may not be cut out for the military.
3. If you cannot respect rank, you definitely aren’t cut out for the military.
2. If you cannot support the Commander In Chief because of his political party, you may not be cut out for the military.
And finally…
The top sign you may not be cut out for the military…
You think AF and CG members are mean


I have to say I agree with most of this list (of course excluding the comment that AF members are mean).

I think Iam going to do a blog on each one of these topics over the next few weeks or months depending on how long it takes me to explain or "vent" however you want to look at it.


I do want to remind you all that this blog is primarily my opinion and I dont require you guys to read or like it, isn't that afterall the joys of blogs is to be able to get your opinion out there?  Maybe it's not but I do tend to feel alot better after I post a blog.  I hope you guys all had a wonderful Christmas and it is followed by an incrediable New Year and remember al military spouses everything you have planned for the new year... don't hold your breath lol
