The Military Wife

This is for all the military wives going through deployment. It may feel like no one knows what you are going through or that you are not appreciated. But we military wives are stronger than most people could ever imagine and more amazing than most people could ever hope to be. We are an Army unto ourselves and can accomplish anything we set our minds to!

When Dad’s away, Mom’s the Commanding Officer.

When Dad’s home, Mom’s the Executive Officer, coordinating and executing actions for the Command Team..

Keeping track of kids, she’s the S-1.

Collecting the neighborhood news and relaying it to Dad, she’s the S-2.

Making plans for the entire family and training the kids, she’s the S-3.

Stocking food and supplies, she’s the S-4.

She answers all family correspondence and makes appointments for Dad, which makes her the Adjutant.

Worrying about the family budget makes her the Comptroller.

Paying the bills and accounting to Dad for the paychecks makes her Disbursing.

Looking for a new place to live when we move, she’s like Billeting.

Assigning kids chores, getting them fed, bathed and put to bed, she’s our First Sergeant.

Serving the food and doing dishes, she’s the Mess Hall.

Carrying small children, she’s the Ammunition Handler.

Driving the family to appointments, she’s the duty driver.

Looking like a queen when she goes out with Dad, she’s a Military Man’s Lady.

Shit! Mom's the whole damn Army!!
