Welcome To The Zoo!

Somebody asked me what its really like marrying into the Army. If its anything close to what you see on tv, or if my blog is even an exaggeration of Army life.
Well I will say this.....everything I type is 100 percent based off my own experiences. While I may put a comical spin on some stories, they are still absolutely true.

So, what is it like to be an Army wife, dealing with other women who are in the same situation as you? Well its like living in a hormonal zoo.

You pay at the gate for entry. Only we don't use money (we don't have any). We pay with our soul, sweat and tears.
We meet our tour guide, for arguments sake, we'll call her Flo. (get the joke, lol)

Flo takes us on a guided trip around the facility, with our first stop, the elephants. She then demonstrates how the animal can retain massive amounts of water in its trunk.

Next stop, the monkey cages...where you see the proper way to throw shit at people.

Then we are off to see the lions/tigers. Be careful, you may be eaten at any time.

We also, have the more gentile animals such as the zebras and giraffes. They don't blend in well, but they just mostly want to be left alone.

We are now off to the meerkats. The stay amongst themselves, popping out once in a while to let you know they are there, but prefer to stay in their little holes.

The gorillas of course are always a site to see. Making a scene, pounding their chest can come off as a threat. Just wanting to be left alone, to swing from their trees in peace and are usually satisfied with a simple banana.

Then there are the birds. Hiding amongst the trees. Building their nests (off post)high up as to be kept at a safe distance.

Then our tourguide Flo will usually wrap up the tour at the snack stand.
Some of the animals will return to their caves, holes or nests. Others will try to escape and eat the weaker animals. But all in all, we will remain in our zoo surroundings as much as it kills us to do so. Never being able to fully live outside of captivity again.
