Another reason I hate deployments
I usually don’t bitch too much about the hubs being deployed. No, I don’t! I accept that it is a fact of life for us as long as he is active duty, and the War on Terror is still ongoing. Seriously~ the War on Terror will never end. People in the world hate us for simply being us.
After returning Monday from the beach, I didn’t jump right up and cut and edge the yard. Damn, I was tired from two days of driving! Well, I should have. Our inspections are on Tuesdays, and I was outside Tuesday morning, at 7:20am, and had already been wrote up.
For non-military families I will try to explain this some-
You do not pay a monetary fine~ that would be too easy. The active duty troop’s superiors are notified. Then the hubs will get a first class ass-chewing. The fact that he is deployed doesn’t matter one freaking iota!
Ugh! Just having one of those days where I think I have earned the right to bitch.

Great post. One thing. You were written up not wrote up.

Should have been

Oh my gosh, that is crazy. If it makes you feel any better, I would have been written up so many times already (I had to make sure I got that right, as I see the grammar police are out, and I wouldn’t want to get written up for that, too)!

Didn’t realize the grammar patrol was out in full force!
Wrote up is the term everyone uses, whether it is correct or not!

At our base if spouse is deployed someone will cut your yard for you which they should - that’s the least they can do to help you out.

Oh good God… you have the right to bitch every single day… the wives and families at home are just as brave and as strong. You all are the glue that keeps the family unit together. God bless you!!

That totally sucks. As if you have time to worry about the grass when you’re trying to explain to your kids why their Dad is being shot at!
