Any other Military Spouses sick of hearing this?

Well You Knew What You Were Getting Into.

I understand where you're coming from. Sounds like u belong to the same category as I do, veteran/military spouse (double whammy)!! Don't know how long you've been toughing it out, but it doesn't really get any better, you just have to learn to deal with the challenges just as when you were in the Army. Suck it up and drive on is still the motto!! You will never have the understanding/ sympathy of civilians period, so don't expect it. Even family members can't understand how we "cope". The most unfortunate part of our unique challenges is when we don't get the support and understanding from our own unit/ section. My husband has been in for almost 17 years, and his several of his bosses have the attitude "the Army didn't issue you a family" (his current boss actually says this to him!!). Hang in there :-)

If you ask my wife, she'll agree with you. Unfortunately, and regardless of how many times leadership says "We support the military families too!", the focus is on the military member. When I deployed and she had difficulties and went for help, she usually got the same answers you did. It's sad but true, and I really doubt it's going to change. And we can expect military spending to get reduced by a huge amount in the next few years, which means people programs will be targeted to save weapons programs. Get ready for more griping.

It does hurt my feelings to hear it. Just because "I knew what I was getting into"....some days that doesn't make it any easier.

The Silent Ranks are largely misunderstood I think, and widely ignored by the public. We wear no uniform, except our hearts on our sleeves.

But this is what I always to say to my husband...It's not always easy, but it's always worth it.

Well people somehow think because your married to a member of the US military you're supposed to be as tough as they are. Truth be told it is a very hard job to be the spouse of a military member and I for one Salute you.

I remember you. You were that crazy spouse that came here screaming how young wives didn't respect you and ask your permission first before call you by your first name. Somehow you thought you had a rank and women had to follow protocol just to speak to you....your royal highness. You are bananas crazy.

I have a feeling you complain a lot!
