What do you love most about being a forces sweetheart?

uniforms on hubby

Yes Loopymumsy , was a long time ago now, and im now married to a wonderful man who is my soul mate who loves me too!

mess prices

OOh yes mess prices - bit of a shocker though when yo get a round in civvie street - how much

I know! And you have to pay with real money

DH in his uniform (except his trop suit as he looks like an ice cream man)

Mess functions - the RN really know how to organise a ball.

Homecomings

LL-I can't believe you don't like those lovely white socvks and shoes....better than the white overalls though

littlelapin, you are winding us up, who wears white shorts and long white socks then?

LL - the whole white shorts, shoes and socks thing is SO not a good look - less Officer and a Gentleman and more Albino Postman...

But I luurrve his mess undress

The Amry number 2's are yuk, but Dh in his blues is phwoar

I can vouch for the long white socks thing. I feel really sorry for the minority of naval personnel out here! They do look smart though The RAF mess light weight mess dress makes them look like waiters, swap the blue jacket for a white one and it looks like there are more waiters than guests at most functions

My DH's number 1 and 2 uniform look great, much better than all that green combat stuff he occasionally has to waer.
And he has a white hat too!

I like the OG's that regiment wear but DO NOT tell my DH (although I think he knows )

How do you all feel about the "other" thread?

I have made a coupe of comments but I'm so angry and upset. I think you are right, just ignore is the best policy.

See ya, I should really go to bed too as I am 2 hours in fromt of you lot!!! Which means my children will be awake 2 hours before yours arrgghh!!

Talk more tomorrow! xxx

I'm almost scared to ask, but I will any way...what "other" thread?

I think it was called 'forses section'
began by a small minded, ignorant man

my dh had some choice words for him when I was telling him about the thread

deep breaths little lapin. soooooooooo hard to stomach these people that have no idea what it is really like to be in forces . They feel they have to offload to us the wives or partners oh don't get me started. i started this thread by the way so i am pleased to see 50 hits impressed.

It's my anniversary today apart again this life really sucks by times. loads of sympathy please.......
