You hear tell of how strong one must be to fully handle the life of an Army wife. The constant pull of insanity can wear on a persons very fiber. As Army wive's we know if we don't work together we will not make it. As women we have a tendency to be a bit hateful towards other women. But as Army wives, we have no choice but to put that stupidity aside and hold each other up.
So with that being said....when somebody hurts one of us, they should probably take caution. There is a bond all Army wives share. Its stronger than any sorority, group or in some instances, family. Each of us know what we sign up for when we marry a soldier. For the most part we expect a struggle of some sort. However, that can only take us so far.
When we are pushed to the edge, we have to make a choice. We can either fall, jump or fight.
If we fall, its like saying the other person wins. Army wives rarely take this approach. Those who do, probably weren't cut out for this life.
If we jump, its implying we made the choice to let you win. Still not the best option. But sometimes you work with what you have.
Most of us will fall into the later category, fight.
Ticking off a single Army wife, seems harmless enough. But what people fail to remember, is we travel in troops.
You can tell a lot about a wife, by asking which troop she belongs. This works like a ranking system for an Army Wife Fight Club. Those who belong to a troop will always remain a member even when they are taken from us and put into a "lesser" troop. (Yes I said it!)
In general, this is how it works....
Idiot A, will do something to Army Wife #1 (it can be something as simple as a late payment or something as large as failing to purchase a home after stating in writing this is their intention and instead of being a decent person, defaults). *specific enough?*
This Army wife, calls #2. Who in turn calls wife #3 and so on. Eventually it is relayed to our fearless leader, who will either pretend she didn't hear it or drive the get away car. (like how I threw you in there)
So a situation that could have easily been avoided, has now turned into a troop smackdown. Once the "phone tree" is activated, we turn into the Soprano's. Occasionally, we may even get help from another "family". But that of course, involves permission from another fearless leader and it can get messy from there. So we'll just leave that alone for now.
So the moral of this story...don't piss us off. Doing so, may end up getting you a new pair of concrete combat boots.
