What NOT To Do As A Military Spouse 3

We had to share the medics and we liked. It can Canadian lurkers chime in if not then admins please delete so. We tend to not see the same quantity pas of dependents due to our. More open policies regarding marriage benefits and housing but there are a few gems in the mix context. You can live.

Wherever you want at your duty base at any rank in fact. You can even buy a house as. You want to there are. Some financial assistance perks to buying a home ie military covers the cost of your realtor is still cheaper to live in base housing PM qs with. Most basis offering apartments 2/3 / 4 bedroom houses. Either as a row house duplex or single-family at a controlled rent the worst. I saw was my buddy let's call him Peter over the few years. I worked with him he went from being this outgoing super fun social hilarious guy to a withdrawn bitter recluse the worst part is the look in his eyes just dead. Now Peter and the guys used to go out on weekend screech. It up a moonshine type drink popular on the East Coast and play the slay the dragon contest no explanation needed I'm sure. One day a lady showed up at his place holding a baby no DNA test needed no doubt the kid was his he wanted to step up took her in got a pmq worked away at his career.

He proudly claims the only other time. He drank screech after. That can be noted by the birth of a second child nine months later. Many of us were skeptical Peter didn't seem very happy complained non-stop about his. Now common-law wife. He brushed us off saying adulting is hard sometimes sometimes our office had calls from collection agencies but I didn't want to delve into Peters personal life too much. When his wife took the kids to visit her family for a few weeks. He partied like. It was his last day on earth the truth came out. They were posted to another base. One summer while packing up the house. He went into the basement. He found boxes and boxes of hundreds maybe. Even thousands of things. She had bought doubles. Even triples of some things with the tags still on she was a complete Shopaholic.

They were their own Walmart no wonder creditors were calling on his last few days of the unit. He confessed. He hated his life. She was constantly lording those kids over his head making extravagant demands or I'll take them and you'll never see them again every time. She visited her family. She booked one-way tickets which is ridiculously expensive in Canada for three people easy dollar 3k dollar okay and keep cycling the arguments about more demands or he couldn't see the kids. She insisted. He requests specific postings or else. She would sit on the computer to shop Amazon and gain 100 pounds which she did 150 pounds actually. He caved completely telling us he had to protect the kids from her terrible influence on them so they've moved a few times hemorrhage money resent. Each other every waking moment it's like. He is a hostage in his own home. This one always struck. Me as the worst. Because some guys are left penniless and alone at least you're free again Peter lives in a prison with no bars. Once asked Peter. What his retirement plans were. He replied divorce and drugs. I believed him we were deployed and my buddy's wife drove to an apartment in Atlanta. She got high and started effing some doomed my buddy's kid fell off the balcony and died woof. That escalated quickly.

If don't get an A. That it Jones. You Asian man wait lady boy. Me so horny. Me Rove you wrong time soldiers wife came up to Alaska from Kentucky was not Command sponsored would regularly just walk into my platoon office accusing him of adultery and demanding that me and my Sgt s kick him out of the military like on the spot was. Either bipolar Raw on drugs had to borrow a 12-packs fan an NCO and four soldiers to escort him out of his off post apt. He filed a restraining order against her since. She wasn't command sponsored my soldiers passed the hat around to buy her a plane ticket out of Alaska. She and he spent.

That money at the bar next weekend a month later. She returned to KY flipped her car into a ditch with her baby inside the next day and her husband got a compassionate reassignment to Campbell the following week. I supervised the soldier who had to pack up his barracks room and toss his high school yearbook letters and family photos into the dumpster. What yeah I know the army has. Me taught never to underestimate just. How dumb a person can be and the soldier had the good Dan gall to joke like sheesh my wife is some crazy right sir well you're the mouth-breathing retard who decided to marry. This meth head in the first place and not inside her so. What does that say about you. That was sad from start to finish.

What a ride here's what I don't understand why oh why do. Some many guys keep marrying these obviously trashy / insane women. That ruin their lives like. It the barracks suck but it doesn't offset the cost of the absolute hell. That these women bring with them obviously crazy spouses exist outside of the military but it seems so much more endemic within. They marry the first hottish girl. That huck stearic on the first date. How dare you talk about my second wife. That way an insatiable need for instant gratification it's the root of all unwise and unhealthy decisions see also tattoos and if we're being honest joining the army tobacco fancy cars at 16% interest the list goes on how. Many women do.

You think want to pick up and move every three years. You can pretty much scratch. Any professional women off the list and while there's no guarantee. That a dentist or lawyer won't be crazy. Anyone with a career at least managed to hold. It together long enough to build. What we left over with our women who are comfortable actually being dependents. Because you kind of have to be I'm not bagging on housewives or stay-at-home moms but it's like. You said endemic within pretty accurate but that's why you wait and date chicks. That have easily movable jobs like nurses. Although for an 18 years old looking for love you're right it's pretty much chicks. That like the idea of being your dependant exactly.

This I hate to paint with broad strokes. Because it might not be true for every Engels spouse but the quality of people. That decide they'll be a dependent for someone in the military is exactly the type you'd imagine they'd be. I was hesitant to say. Because a good spouse will be. More of a partner it's like at one end of i-95 in Maine. You have all the stay-at-home moms who bust their ass at an unpaid job and then at the other end. You of Florida. Where the dependents live sure they're connected by. One thing but the distance between them is tremendous seriously.

Who was the worst townie spouse you've met and what made them so awful specialist Cletus was a combat engineer stationed at a remote post in the southwest months before deployment. He met and married an overweight tattooed single mom. That he met in a bar downtown. He was in Afghanistan SPC Cletus wife lived in his house on post drove his car and used her power of attorney to snatch. All his deployment money shortly after. He redeployed.

If you need a good resume look at the lots of examples - https://edujobssearch.com/. I know stories like. These aren't unique do. Any of you know. One that's especially bad or bad in a different way do tell Jesus. None of my stories are. This bad had a LT C's wife civvy tellin LT. That her rank and word outweighs theirs and then proceeded to give orders to the soldiers the LT was responsible for cringy at best I've never died on a hill but if. That time comes. I hope to die on this one did. They listen to her yeah and she was a real slave driver too. How would an LT. Even go about handling a situation like. This surely. You can't just tell her to F right off. It was at a change of command ceremony.

Where her husband was taking charge of the battalion so. We kind of followed suit the LT didn't say a single good dang word probably just as dumbfounded as. Us good NCO at Fort Polk married to a terrible woman caught her cheating so. He filed for divorce. She proceeds to launch unending fabricated adultery complaints against him as soon as. One investigation is closed she's demanding another one we try to ignore her she files a congressional complaint and then we're effed for not having an investigation to hand. I straight-up told her. That she was just wasting the commands time but clearly. These investigations were never going to be substantiated and to please stop her response was so take. It out on him she was a truly terrible person and I frequently hoped. She would just disappear mysteriously a buddy of mine married a woman from Thailand. She was a bar girl paid by the owner of the establishment to be hot and unavailable to service members the second. They were official. She completely took over their finances his phone plan so.

She could see who he was texting and talking to and installed a GPS on his car. He went from. One of the most motivated individuals to a make destroyed husk of a man in less. Than six months couldn't go out with. Us anymore and even. He could couldn't afford much on the allowance his wife gave him from his paycheck. Some soldiers need. That shit though so much for the whole servile Asian woman stereotype. I find that most stereotypes are about as incorrect as. They can be long. It takes a strong Asian man to do.
