You Know Your a Military Spouse When....
You Know Your a Military Spouse When....
-Someone asks when your Spouse will be home and you say July or August instead of 5 or 6pm
-You live on your own and by yourself more after you're married than before you were married.
-You know al...l of your Spouse's co-workers by their last name, ...and rarely know their first name. ...
-You say "I'm going to the commissary" instead of the "grocery store".
-You need your I.D to buy groceries
-Half of your wardrobe has some kind of Military insignia on it and once belonged to your Spouse.
-The sounds of helicopters, and Jets flying over your house shaking your windows, surprisingly soothes you!
-Your Spouse's work and dress clothes cost way more than yours do.
-You only write in pencil because EVERYTHING is subject to change.
-You know that a 2 month separation IS short, no matter what your civilian friends say.
-You know better than to go to the commissary between 11:30 and 1:30 or on a payday unless it's a life or death emergency.
-You know that any reference to "sand box" describes a deployment to Afghanistan, not your kid's backyard toys.
-You don't have to think about what time 21:30 is.
-You pick apart uniforms on TV and in the movies for being inaccurate with your Spouses'.
-When your Spouse says they get to "Sleep In", they are referring to 6:30am. -Moving is the SOP and you keep half your household goods in labeled totes.
-After dropping off your children at CYS, you meet at the ACS building, at 17:00, for you FRG meeting where the CG, in his ACU's, will give a briefing on the status of your soldier downrange at the FOB.
-You understand that sentence.
-You are asked to stop talking in acronyms and translate it all to English -Your child calls out "Daddy!" to everyone wearing camoflouge.
-Your survival tools are prayer and chocolate and your friends offer you both on a bad day.
-The national anthem makes you cry every time.
-Each day together as a family is precious.
