I am an Airforce wife and lived at 5 different posts. Each time I find it really really hard to make new friends. Other wives are only interested in what rank my husband is, if he's lower or higher than theirs then they don't want to know you and if you are the same rank they only want info from you so there own hubby can beat yours at promotion. Others are only interested in you while your at the same base, once one of you moves you never hear from them again. Then there are the ones who are only interested in having you baby sit their kids while they go out drinking. I've joined a group of women who get together for morning teas but the whole morning tea revolves around military talk and ends up being very competetive as to whose hubby is more important or whose hubby has been deployed the most times and to where. How do you make genuine friends with other wives. I'm not looking for a new bestest friend ever kind of thing, just normal women who want to make genuine friendships.
