When your married to the military, it become much like a sorority. Theres a hazing process known as, 'how strong can you be when the most vicious of rumors are spread about you and your family'. There's also your cliques. The gossipers, the hermits, know it alls, and the over supporting wives.
I've been with my husband through all but 10 months (at the beginning of his army career) of his 4 year term. We became a civi family in august of 2009. Since i've been out of the army wives 'cliques' i've missed it. Sure it was a rough time in my life, being a new mom, a new wife, and on my own for the first time ever, but for some weird reason, I really miss it. I could never bring myself to watchin 'army wives' on lifetime because i was afraid it'd bring back good memories and i'd overly start to miss it. I just seen the preview for the new season coming out this year, and it made me want to watch it for some reason, lol, so now, i'm catching up on ALL the seaons, starting with episode 1. Thank you netflix.
To all my former friends at ft lee, I miss you all tremendously. I miss the frg meetings, the holiday get togethers, the bbq's, the bonding time, and yes, even the rumors, lol. I should've been stronger when dealing with all the hateful things were spread, I should've been comfortable with myself, so it wouldn't effect me. I feel bad about the way we left. There's so much more I could've done as a wife of a soldier to make my life that much better being in the military,
As much as i miss it, i'm also glad we got out. I'm closer to my family, which in turn lets ME live my life. I get to go to school now and have a for sure babysitter for much needed date nights with the hubby. I'm able to see my husband a lot more now than i did back then, thanks to wonderful programs like the new gi bill. I'm also away from the horrid military base which is filled with bad drivers, busy px's, and the constant worry of deployments.
LOL! I'm a lot like Roxy, I felt just like her when I first got to ft lee, new, and dealing with the crazy new life of army wifery. Omg......and now a lady confronted another one about saducing the chaplen, omg, love this show so far, so real......
Love, Support, and army family forever,
The Wiles Family
