"Is this seat taken?" (new to board)

Hello ~ So, I just lurked for a minute here and have decided that I think I'm in love! lol.  Your proficient sarcasm is so refreshing! Stoked to find a place with real life, no bs, military peeps to converse with.

Short intro? Army wife stationed at Ft Riley, KS (be jealous! bwahaha) No kids, two insane cats, trying to get knocked up (me, not the cats), part-time student, living the dream of course - as all mil-spouses do, yes?


Me: 32 DH: 38 TTC for 4 years (total) Me: PCOS, Low Progesterone, Factor V Leiden Thrombophillia (fancy for genetic blood clotting disorder) I've had 4 miscarriages, two with my current DH, and two in my previous marriage. Unfortunately, I am the common factor here! *3/2012: Clomid CD 4-9, awaiting ovulation!! *1-23-2012 BFP! Unfortunately without Progesterone supplements early on, M/C 1-30-2012 *3-2010 BFP! Low progesterone, small gest sac, m/c 4-2010 at 9 wks *9-2008 BFP, Tried Myofacial Release Therapy and Daily Progesterone Injections. m/c 10-2008 at 9 wks *9-2007 BFP, Clomid, Estrace, Gonal F injection, Progesterone suppositories. m/c 10-2007 at 7wks

  • Holler! Finally someone doesn't think we're bitter old hags and feels sorry for our husbands. 

    I'm BLT. DH and I have been married 3 1/2 years. I've been in the ARNG for 7 1/2 years, he's been in 11. We just moved from IL to PA and now I'm unemployed and he works on computers. We have no kids, just a crazy cat who thinks he's a dog and a child.  Welcome.

  • Hi and welcome.  I'm known around here as TX.  I am prior service USAR.  DH is AD Army.  We have 4 kids and a crazy foster pup.  I've been a SAHM for most of the last 6 years.  I start my first full time job since in a few weeks and I am so stoked about it.  Other than that, I waste time here, on FB and Pinterest as much as possible to avoid laundry and dishes.  I hate them and can't wait for the day I get my own Rosie the Robot Maid to boss around.

    Welcome! 

    I am Brandie, DH is AD AF and we are hanging out in New Jersey for the time being. I love it here! I am finally finishing my bachelors (and hoping to get into the MA program) in English. So that keeps me busy. No kids yet, I love my wine a little too much still. We have a dog and cat though. They are characters, I tell you.

We live in CA with our two mini doxies, in siggy Simon and Darcy, and our cat Mister who is a little crazy.

  • Greetings! My name is Mary but my homies call me Boo. H is AD Navy and we're in Virginia. We have 3 cats who only listen to me when I talk to them in this stupid high pitched voice. I take pictures of babies at a studio and work in retail because I have no clue what I want to do with my life. In my free time I play World of Warcraft and League of Legends.

  • Welcome!
    I've seen a lot of military surprise homecomings. It wouldn't work on me. I always have my back to the corner and my face to the door. Looking for terrorists, criminals, various other threats, and husbands.

    Ninth Anniversary
    Welcome!  I'm NSL.  H and I have been married for almost 9 years, and he's been in the Army for 15.  I'm a high school English teacher, getting my MA in Literature, and we have two young sons, so I'm not on very often.  I like to think of myself as more intolerant of stupidity than sarcastic.

  • I like you. 

    I'm A, married to C who is AD Air Force. We are stationed in South Carolina. We have a dog who has a certain affinity for eating markers and a daughter, who is stubborn, strong willed, and the brightest light in our life. I am currently a stay at home mom and chronically unemployed despite my best efforts. I'm in the process of joining the Air Force, so we will see if that works out or not! 

    Welcome! 

  • Hi! I'm new too. My H is brand new AD MC, I'm currently cooling my heels in Fl while I wait for him to finish school and get stationed and while I finish my bachelor's in social work.  In the meantime, I'm an assistant manager for American Eagle. No kids, no pets yet (although we have plans to get a black lab and name him Rambo once we get settled).
