well, scary, army officers are only allowed to marry nurses or teachers, aren't they?
i'm not quite sure if i'm dim or a thug now. but i only got to page 14. i got ignorance fatigue after that. i was coping with the military bashing, but army wives dim? only as much as any other cross section of the general public, but possibly 'bigoted' was over-represented on that thread.
fwiw, after leaving the military i did ta/ lsa for a while whilst doing my msc (was sort of pondering the possibility of gtp, but realised it would be the 'easy' option)... i don't remember mentioning my glorious fighting career at all in the classroom... in fact, most people seem to struggle with the concept that i spent 16 years in uniform. in charge. if it comes up i get all sorts of 'is she hallucinating again?' looks. people smiling sympathetically. etc.
i do have a history of wondering about teaching though. i did start a 4yr qts at warwick once upon a long ago (english and pe, don't ask) but the ethos wasn't right. (obviously not enough killing 
) i left the course and joined up. i thought i ought to pop back when i left and see whether the time was right, but it appears not. nothing to do with the timing after all, just tis not me. still fascinated by education, like. but more as a concept than in a practitioner sort of way 
not nearly as fascinated as i am by society's misconceptions of the military though.
ooo, btw, did we manage to cover in the last 7 pages whether male military spouses were dim too? or does the fact that they have a penis over-rule any lack of brain power caused by marrying a female service-person? just curious.
