Stereotypes of Army wives/female soldiers?

Stereo types are generaly true. My experience in the army is that military wives have nothing better to do then cause drama and screw other men when there husbands deployed.

The only reason navy chick is mad at u is because your right.

Edit: point proven they have nothing better to do then troll yahoo answers and b$%^* at you

Hmm, I don't know really. This has been a problem since the military Integrated the genders. I read a book about when the Navy had the first Integrated ship. The same problems were evident with the spouses at that time. I think that it is a problem that will always be with the service. Perhaps if you don't associate with those that irritate you and just play nice, IE publicly.

** About Army wives wearing their husbands rank, in the old days that was the way things were done. By the way, how many NCO's wives are in charge of a FRG?

It seems by your answer that you are or were in the military yourself. Listen, so was I. The regular army wives are a different breed. You know what it is like to be in the military...and you probably have better things to do than them. I would guess you're having a hard time because you're an outcast. They don't like you because you don't stoop down to their level, and you are probably beautiful. That's why they give you a hard time. To other readers, I might sound hateful. But to some you might also identify with me and agree. Some wives take their husband's rank to their head, "you don't" because you know what it is like to actually earn the rank yourself. And you probably scoff at an army wife that looks down on you because her husband is higher ranking than yours, you laugh because you've been in the trenches and away from your loved ones and everything you know. And you know that she has NOT earned that rank as much as the soldier. The matter of the fact is that you are better than the average army wife, sorry you're having a hard time. Keepping to yourself us probably best because these women will take you down with them if you give them a chance.

Stereotypes of Army wives/female soldiers?

I know this is awful, but I kind of hate Army wives --- I have some friends that are spouses, and I know there are a great many of them who work, raise kids, etc...but nonetheless, those few awful ones KILL it for me! Those ones who don't work, think all Army females are out to "get their...

Honestly there's nothing you can do hun. People are gonna judge you reguardless just based on the fact that you are who you are. Because you are military personell yourself and your spouse is as well. I was in the Navy and I constantly got judged by people. You have to correct people when they steryotype you. You have to let them know that they are wrong about you in particular. Although you are a military wife you have been a strong and independent woman and not a lazy housewife like some of the other women you know. From what I read you have 2 full time jobs being a wife and mother and serving you country. Just know who you are and tell them exactly what you said earlier. Besides that you dont owe anyone an explanation of your life. Plus those women who are thinking all Army females are "out to get their man" are insecure. That has nothing to do with their man being in the Army that's something inside of their mind. The other women arent who they should worry about it's their man. No one can take something that trueyly belongs to them. A woman who has self confidence and has a great self esteem never worries about another woman TAKING their man because they "got it like that". Hope I helped.

If you are in the service you should know how much cheating goes on. How many sh*tty people don't care that somebody is married. Female or male. Wife, husband, or service member.

Yeah a lot of army wives are all about their husbands, good for them, but I've got other sh*t to worry about.

Yeah a lot of female soldiers love the male attention they are able to get, good for them, but I've got other sh*t to worry about.

Not every wife is stuck up and not every female soldier is a cheap date. So long as nobody messes with my husband or I there is nothing for me to worry about. I don't go to FRG meetings, I don't volunteer, I don't try to put on a pretty fake smile and build some lame friendships that will end as soon as our husbands get home. You are generalizing people. Which is wrong but very hard not to do. You really just have to keep an open mind about people. You know which wives are the ones that do nothing but stay at home and talk about their husbands accomplishments so just avoid them. Avoid their little FRG kingdom...you have better things to do than live in la la land and live through your husband. They will be the same way when he gets out of the service. Lots of other wives feel the same way so just focus on those types of wives. Same goes for female soldiers, there are those that love breaking up relationships and sleeping with anything that pays them any attention (wives to). They will be the same way when they get out of the service. So avoid them.

If a man is going to cheat he is going to do it regardless of where he works and who pursues him. So if he was a businessman he would be the kind of guy to sleep with his secretary. If you're husband is the kind of guy to pay attention to women like that, and show you that kind of disrespect, then maybe you need to get a new husband and quit blaming his coworkers?

Just my thoughts on it.

The bad eggs are the ones with the biggest mouths. They are usually extremely over weight and smell like Dorito's. I know that they are only the smallest percentile but they make the most noise. Being a Military wife is the only success in their live's. Be proud that your not in that single digit percentile. It's called riding your husbands coat tails. Most don't have jobs. Most claim to something that they're not. None of them have their own identities. Just look at all the Negative comments you'll get the try and see the profiles of these big mouth liars. THEY ARE ALMOST ENTIRELY NOT ACCESSABLE. because then their secret worthless lives would be public.

I think your question has your answer. These "stereotypes" hurt us all. As a female married to a soldier, an army wife, if you like, I see it and feel it all the time.

I am a college graduate with a great job and real goals for my life... that happened to marry an army soldier. Even within the "army wife" group, I get bashed because I have a job and a degree. "Why arent you at home for your husband?" "Why dont you devote your life to your husband's career?" I tell people - I'm a psychologist that happened to marry a soldier. I can have a life and be a part of his.

But there are these stereotypes. *All army wives cheat on their husbands* *Female soldiers go downrange and sleep with everyone they can* *All army wives wear their husband's rank* I know great examples of all of these. I've had friends I had to stop hanging out with because they cant be faithful to their husbands while they are deployed. And female soldiers that cant be faithful to their dual military husbands.

But I know many many others - army wives and female soldiers - that dont fit this at all. One of my best friends is a female soldier. Wives that would move 15 times in 19 years just to be with their soldier. Wives that must give up their jobs to raise the kids because their father is gone every 6 months.

There are stereotypes about EVERYONE - gender, race, creed, education, etc... it just goes on. As an adult, I think it's our job to try to ignore the ignorance of stereotypes and generalizations. We must rise about it.

So when the 19 year old army wife with a 5 month old baby on her lap bashes me for being 25 with a college degree and a job what am I supposed to do? When the female soldier in my hubby's squad tells me she cant wait to be deployed with him, what am I supposed to do? We all act like adults. I have a life. And I have a husband I trust with my life.

Being a spouse with my husband in the Army I hate it when people stereotype anyone, First and foremost I'm a person, a wife and a mother. There are always going to be people like you describe in and out of the army. Best thing i have found is to avoid those people, turn and walk away. its obvious to see that those who say that females are out to "get their man" are not 100% sure of their relationship with their significant other (trust issues) also I may not have a job but that doesnt mean i dont work, raising any child by yourself while your significant other is away doing his job is a lot of work along with taking care of all the other things that goes with having a home and bills to pay ect. Not all wives are like those that you describe.

I still thinks its best to turn your cheek to those who "KILL" it for you..

HATE is a very strong word to use. I was a army wife and was never out to get someones man. I worked until I had my daughter, then I stayed home with her. I joined the army a few years after I divorced her dad who was in the Army for cheating on me. I was a single mom and a solider. Then I met my husband who was also in the Army. So I was a Army wife and soldier. If you don't like it then don't listen to what they are saying.
