Mature audiences only. No hurt feelings. No repercussions.

In aviation, I thought it was a conspiracy to drive me insane! In combat, I loved them all. Air Cav!!!

As a Military Police Soldier, I can say without a doubt that FM/W (Family Member / Wife) wins this hands down! As all of my MP brothers and sisters will attest, 95% feel they are owed something, 40% feel they deserve the rights and privileges afford to their husband's rank, and 30% disregard the rights, responsibilities and privileges of others.

Haha, my wife must've been in that 5% that didn't do that stupid crap. She did however make fun of the spouses that did do it.

If you wear your spouse's rank, you're going to wind up having to go get your spouse. I'll happily explain as respectfully as I can to any Soldier what their spouse's role is in the military. Someday, once I'm retired, even the Joint Chief and his/her wife hold zero sway over me. Until then, only the Joint Chief..., um..., and all others appointed over me do. However, their spouses do not, unless they're dual military. I should really stop posting when I'm bored.

I agree wholeheartedly! It's even worse when they put on 100+ lbs in that time and forget what PT is.

I can't complain I was a fast tracker.  my primary MOS Forward Observer which was the bare min. to make E5 when I was a SPC(P).  Then I made E7 pretty fast after I dropped my packet.  So I was very fortunate.

SFC Todd G. Is correct about FO's. I made E-7 in three years and had orders to E-8 in three more years, before medical retirement. I worked for many star chasers, and they were the ones pushing me up the ladder. I am friends with several generals and colonals now. Forward Observers have it pretty good in the army, especially if you are in a Corps Artillery comand.
