Married to the Army ?

[jrsmum]

Just wondered how many Army wives use this site ?

i'm married to someone in the RAF, not quite Army I know

Almost the same but in blue. My husband would kill me for saying that. Do you know that my dh refers to RAf as bluebottles ! My sis in the RAf thinks hes just so funny, but then she says he is cannon fodder !!!!

There are Army wives who post. Dh is away at the moment in the US, but due back tomorrow, He has had a desk tour this last few years so I have had a soft time since the end of Gulf war 2. He is about to get back flying, so I will be lone mummy again

Bloody Gulf War2. My dh is there at the moment. He's in basra where the explosion was yesterday very sleepless night but thankfully he is fine and no-one was badly injured.

My dh goes to Iraq in Apr for 6 months...not looking forward to coping with two small children on my own but I used to be in the Army myself, so I know it just goes with the territory.

I realy feel for Army wives when it comes to conflicts. Dh (am I ) have it easy in comparison. Even during the war dh was a long way from most of the trouble, flying over doesn't realy compare, tbh. I hope the time passes swiftly for you all and your dhs are home safe and sound. Hugs.

Satine, your dh is probably taking over from our lot as they have just started a 6 mth tour. That is if hes Army of course.

Word of advise watch out for ITV they have been door knocking, and went to the local junior school and asked the headmaster to comment on how the children were coping when 9 soldiers had died!! No one has died they just shitty heartless b***d's.

Sorry for swearing but I think their sick!!!!!

Bastards! They are kids ffs!

When I was first married ITN posted the names of two guys who died in a crash before the father of one had been contacted! They said it was 'in the public interest'. Even though the crash was over the North Sea and no civilians could possibly have been at risk. Blood sucking bastards.

They are nasty pieces of work and I really want them to knock on my door so I can tell them exactly that. The BBC however have gone through all the correct channels and only talk to us via the regt.

Can you imagine having the press on your doorstep if (god forbid) your dh had died/been injured? They really are despicable. God knows what I'd do to them but it would probably involve the heaviest saucepan I've got...or perhaps a full nappy....

I think a swift kick to the correct place may also solve the problem. Even worse is when they report wrong informaton. On a lighter note so far today we have been based in Aldershot and Canterbury. both are wrong!! And at least 2 yrs out of date. Stupid people !!

The journalists and editors (and reporters for most TV channels) are such barefaced hypocrites, too. Aaaagh! They really make my blood boil. They cause such misery and make awful situations so much worse. I heard a reporter the other day complaining that conditions were so hard for those on location reporting on the tsunami. One hopes they get their comeuppance one day.
