If one were to spend too much time on an Army base, you may get the impression all Army wives are nosy, gossipy and frustrating in general. You may be right.
Keep in mind, we spend months upon months alone. We may have no human contact (with the exception of the time we spend yelling at our children)for days.
For example: Today I did not speak to another adult until approximately 6:30pm.
My conversation skills are limited to "PUT THAT DOWN" and "STOP PUNCHING YOUR SISTER IN THE BUTT".
So with this in mind, some of our behavior is almost understandable. Like how when you get two of us together, we talk about who did what, when, why and where. We are great with specifics! We are sure not to leave any information unattended. We've convinced ourselves it not "gossip", but concern.
You never know the kind of safety issue you could be facing, when somebody wears a tube top to the commissary. Perhaps, you heard one "specific" wife got a housing citation for not keeping her lawn under the specified maximum height. Not to mention, when the spouse of a deployed soldier has a "relative" come vist. This topic can provide hours of (Intelligence Gathering)entertainment for those of us lacking adult contact on a regular basis.
Why, just tonight at my son's T-Ball practice, I learned that in another unit.....
One wife gave a ride home to another soldier, but the women behind me didn't think that was appropriate. (turns out, he was an injured soldier who's car broke down- Jezebel!!)
That SAME wife, had the nerve to say she would take over the FRG when that leader leaves. (I know I was appalled!- Seriously, why? Volunteering! is she nuts?)
I also, learned that soldiers who post things of any nature on Facebook, should be relieved of their right to wear the Uniform.(apparently Facebook is the Gateway to Hell- who knew?)
So you never know, when knowing this seemingly useless information MAY SAVE YOUR LIFE! I have to end the blog for tonight, I think I just saw my neighbors lights come on!!!!
