Why do spouses insist on wearing uniform items that they didn't earn? Better yet, why are the military members letting them?

If I see another spouse half naked in either military blouse or draped in flag, I might loose it. And then claim 'I serve to'. NO. YOU DON'T. 'Toughest job in ___(insert branch here)' I'm a military spouse and I am a Marine, and once I'm off contract, I will not be saying that we serve together while he's gone. I run the home. So do you. Period. Self-entitled lazy .......

We had a chick that was married to the supply officer here at command fleet activities Yokosuka scream at a petty officer demanding that the petty officer salute her because her husband is the suppo of the base I nearly died when I heard this story

My CO would have ripped that supply officer a new one for screwing with us like that.

I think that my wife has given up just as much as I have / did. So if she wants to put on my blouse it doesn't bother me at all.. As for the Flag it is her flag as much as it is mine. I don't ever remember reading in the doctrine of our flag that doesn't say anything about wrapping up in the flag is disrespectful.. My wife is far from being self entitled lazy.

Posting photos like that on the internet, I have to agree. Spouses should not post those photos publicly. Originally their intent was to keep their spouse motivated during hard times. Very personal photos like that should not be shared.

My Ex -wife tells every one that she served. She wasn't involved in any thing military related functions. She was very racist towards other. Very hard to live with. But now she tries to get vet discounts. I agree with your post

I'm going to add that the only part of this that truly gets my back up is the 'army/whatever branch wife, toughest job in the army/whatever branch. '. I'm aware that it's not terrible but personally it annoys the crap out of me.

Two separate issues. Bringing both issues togother create more conflict. These signs of support should be private just like conversation about non classified work activities.
