I grew up around a Navy base. I met a lot of navy wives.
If you want to get laid on a Saturday night in Mayport, FL just find out if the Super Sara is out to sea on a 6 months cruise.

Military wives (and husbands for that matter) are among the most respected and selfless people in America. It's hard to do what they do. It's hard to be a military person, and worry about the deployments, combat stress, on top of everything else that normal people worry about, but it's probably even tougher to sit at home and constantly worry. Those who do 20 years or more (careers w/ retirement benefits) owe an enormous debt of gratitude to their spouses who have stayed home.
There are a lot of military to military marriages, as well. Those people have it even tougher...both can be deployed to different locations at the same time, and if they can't find childcare for 6 months to a year, then tough luck. If they do find child care and leave, sometimes local governments (even overseas ones) charge the parents with neglect.
Military wives are great. My wife is one, and after 9 years of it, I think I might say enough is enough (11 years short of retirement) b/c of what it puts her through. Having served the nation for a decade has been a great experience, but there is a great cost, even for someone lucky like me who has never been injured or lost a close friend or family member in combat.
Are you thinking of becoming a military wife, or are you one?

many of the ones in Norfolk VA are hoes. Sorry. Men out there on six month deployment and the wives are out tricking,spending up that tax free money. The husbands that had wives deployed weren't angels either! It is hard enough trying to maintain a marriage these days, but having a spouse in the military is extremely hard for most, but not all marriages.

Well I am a army wife and from what I see theree are few types of military wives. You have the ones like me that are ther doing everything we can to support are husbands.When are husbands are gone we take care of the kids, the house, the bills, we send letters all the time. We go to bed alone. We have to be strong for kids and our husband. Every time husband leaves for a deployment we pray it wont be the last time we see them.
Then you have some that only think of themselves and what they are feeling. Then you have the wives that as soon as their husband is gone they start messing around on them.

I think it must be a hard way to live,and that they must be very brave.They have to usually be the mother and the father 3/4 of the time.Plus the fact that they mat never see their husbands again if they are called to war. I hope that they have each other(other military wives) to talk to, because it must be very lonely

I was a military wife.....It is a very hard life...All the wives I met over 12 years were wonderful...wonderful mothers and worked very hard to be good wives...if hubby was ever home...Most of us worked outside of the home as military pay is slim.

They ought to be a devoted lot, with hubby's career coming before their own. They may not have their own full time career at all. May be a stint of school teachership before moving on to another station. And if the hubby cannot take you along, you keep keep writing him how you love him and keep that thread of loyalty strong. The military wife has to assuer her hubby that he has a loving home back there.

I wouldn't put all military wives in one category like I wouldn't put all wives of business men or all wives of doctors in one category.

We are strong.....and resilient. Nothing is harder than knowing the one you love isn't home....worse when you give birth to your children they are never there. We are the ones that send letters to them to keep their spirits high, and gift packages. We are the ones who take care of everything while they are gone. We are the ones who kiss them goodbye not knowing if they will come home.Yet overlooked...we still smile and go on with our lives. There is no tougher job than being a military wife.
Ooo Raaahhh

I was a young military wife and I was no different than any other wife. I was lucky there was not war going on and my husband was never stationed away from me and the children.
