Flexibility

Being an Army wife means you have to be flexible in many, many ways. Depending upon your position within the Army your levels of flexibility must vary on any given occasion.

The biggest thing when dealing with Army wives is simply that you are dealing with wives. Now I'm not knocking Army wives, or women in general, just making a simple observation. Women can be the most deceitful, manipulative, back stabbing group of people. This is one area I will say we will always topple a man. At any given time a female, can look another female in the eyes and sing her praises then run to the next female and tell the world how horrible she is. Now knowing this about women, lets add in another factor....the military.

So now we not only have a clique of grown women who have nothing better to do than gossip and cause trouble, but we take their husbands away for long periods of time.
Say what you'd like about men, but atleast when they are home the women are less likely to run amuck. I don't know if its boredom, the need to see other women suffer, or the feeling like they are getting away with something, but its ridiculous.

Women like this are the reason we Army wives are stereotyped the way we are. Even though they may make up only a small amount, they manage to make the rest of us look bad. Like I've previously stated, I've been doing this for many years now so my flexibility is decreasing to say the least.

So I dedicate tonights blog to all those Army wives who stand their ground and don't fall into the stereotype we have cast upon us. To the wives who carry the torch of the stereotype, I will only say..... my flexibility is nearly gone so since I can't reach it would you please kiss my ass for me!
