Adventures in being "that" spouse

Oh for goodness sake. Dumb Photobucket. 

I'll post the picture later.

Spouses are dumb sometimes.  

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.

  • I wish I knew exactly what unit, because how fun would it be to check out the unit's specific FB page? Lol.

    Also, this page was for a major huge tent group over a larger number of units, I don't know why she didn't just call SecDef Panetta...

  • Wait is she complaining because they're given leave the day they land so they can be with their families and are due back the next morning for demob work?

  • People need to learn to filter, and accept that they have no control over anything in the military.  Sure, be upset that your H is only home a few hours and goes back, but you don't freaking post that on Facebook and try to contact someone about getting him home longer.  H would kill me if I did that.

    She would have asked SecDef Panetta, but she couldn't find his FB page.

    Yeah, I can only imagine the spouse's reaction.  I feel like my FI, though he's never deployed, would be mortified if I was trying to rock the boat.  Just roll with the punches - I wouldn't go calling my spouse's boss to talk about giving him holidays off if he was an ER doctor on call!  Some inconveniences you have to accept as part of the job.
