Alysha, maybe YOU are the one that needs to go back and read it again. She said the same thing that I did "recruiters lie". In neither of our posts did we say that ALL recruiters lie! and if you think that all recruiters are angels and DON'T lie, then you really need to get out more. There is always going to be a recruiter that lies. Whether it's one or a million, the fact remains that SOME RECRUITERS DO LIE.

And for whoever asked if it was our only source.. I know it wasn't for myself and my husband, I don't know about anyone else. But again- NOT ALL RECRUITERS TELL THE TRUTH and you're kidding yourself if you think they do. Some people don't have other resources other than what the recruiter has said, whether it be they don't have internet access to find out otherwise or they don't know any other military members that they can talk to.. Some people do get sucked in by a lying recruiter and then their whole world gets turned upside down.. You can't expect for someone not to complain even a little bit if that has happened to them! Get real.

But everyone is different and deals with stuff in they own way so It wasnt very nice to write this. If you dont like it then dont read the complaints right right.

Im an army and have been for 2 years now was dating my hubby when he joined. We have a littl guy together and im fine with all the stuff that pops up. Ive always been a strong person and him being away is not hard its something he loves to do and I chose to marry him. Im happy with the letters I get and the late night phone calls, because I know he is happy doing what he does. And hey lets face it the economy sucks so at least he has a stable job and a stable paycheck.

just thought id look at this again and i thought of something . is this post not a Vent ? or a complaint .. you are complaining about people complaing ... nice ... just thought id tell you that

@Jaci.. I hardly think you would look like a baby compared to her. I am sure she has had her share of complaints and hard times. She can act tough all she wants, but what it all boils down to is it's all fake. Unless she has always been one cold-hearted person, there were probably MANY times that she had hard feelings about the military when they did them wrong or when her husband was deployed. She does have the right to say what she wants, but at the same time she could have gone about it in a nicer way. There are some people in this world that do have a reason or two to complain, but she is acting like no one ever has a reason- and that's just not true. Everyone needs to vent. It's healthy to vent rather than bottling it all up inside. She doesn't need to be so rude about it, making everyone that's EVER vented (and that's admitted to venting, b/c I am sure the few that agree with her will NEVER admit to EVER venting) feel bad b/c "they knew what they were getting into". Bullcrap! You can do all the research in the world and still have some curveball thrown hard at you that you never thought was coming and it hits you square in the eye! And just b/c people complain or vent doesn't mean they aren't a PROUD military wife! And it doesn't make them any less of a real military wife either. We all support our husbands, we love our husbands. Yes we have some hard times and need to talk to someone, but just b/c we DO talk to someone doesn't mean anything as far as whether or not we are REAL military wives. She's full of shit, I'm sorry for the language, but it's true! I hate to even think that I hope that all the people that think the way she does gets some curveball thrown at them that they didn't expect and hope that they have to vent to someone to know what it's like. But you know what? I DO hope that happens- I hope that no one is physically harmed or anything- But I DO hope that they have to go through something unexpected so they know how it feels to need to vent and I pray to God that when that happens that someone won't be as heartless as they are and will listen to them w/o judging them for it. All experienced military wives should be here to help build up the newer military wives, not tear them down and make them feel like they're a piece of crap on the bottom of their shoe just b/c they need to talk to somebody! And that even goes for the newer military wives that think they are above everyone else b/c they haven't had something thrown at them yet. I agree that we should all ban together and help each other out, but at the same time we need to weed out the ones that are tearing us down to do so and that includes Leigh and her hateful posts.

If you don't want people complaining then don't read it or get off the site. This is one of the few places military spouses can come to vent and get support. With all of the years of experience you have being a Navy wife, you'd think you might have a little more understanding!

Ashley - posted on 01/29/2010

me and my husband both new what we were getting into when he joined the military. however, it is hard adjusting to being away from families and friends, especially with children. i totally agree with you that people do complain alot about their life in the military. i also know where they are coming from. so i see two sides of it. im not complaining about our lives in the military but i want to go home as soon as its over.

Jaci - posted on 01/29/2010

okay so i actually posted on this yesterday with this big long reply that probably would have gotten me banned from circle of moms, but instead i'll just say this.



Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and although my opinion doesnt match hers, I know she has the right to say what she wants. Yes I am outraged that she thinks this way, but at the same time, I probably look like a baby compared to her if she knew how hard its been for me being a military wife. But I personally believe its hard for all of us in some way.

We just need to ban together and support each other as best we can.

C. - posted on 01/28/2010

@Shannon.. Now come on! I don't care what prompted her to write this post and apparently others don't either. What I DO care about is that 1) She seems like a cold-hearted woman that has a lot of built up hatred and anger towards anyone that has an inkling of emotion for no reason (I mean honestly, what did ANYONE do to her to make her post such ignorance and hate?) 2) She has not come back on here to defend her post, so that likely means she did this just to stir up some kind of crap, 3) You cannot possibly tell me that she has not even once missed her husband and needed SOME sort of support or advice in the 15 years that she has been married to a military man! Yes, everyone expresses things in their own unique way, BUT to Leigh and the woman that said she and Leigh are the only "real military wives" just b/c they don't like to complain or hear complaints, sorry but that is nothing but a huge load of crap! Just b/c they are hard-hearted, doesn't mean they are any more of a "real military wife" than the rest of us!

Rebecca - posted on 01/28/2010

So, since you deal with things so well and never complain or whine, then everyone else should follow suit? Yeah, I'm sure. What business is it of yours how others deal with things anyway? If you don't want to see people sad, hurt, upset, confused or angry about anything related to their spouses career in the military, how about you stay away from groups of this nature. People like you are really toxic and it's a shame that you would rather ridicule people than help them.

Stacy - posted on 01/28/2010

for some odd reason i doubt the fact the ones saying " LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT " ... in all thier yrs of being a military wife has NEVER complained once. i doubt the fact she has never cryed about her husband being gone. worried about him or all the things OTHER women have been posting about ! i bet you she has had OTHERS supporting her emotionaly. i am an army brat turned army wife . my mom a army wife of 22+ years relied on support from other wives, friends , familly ect ... does that maker her not a 'REAL ARMY WIFE " ? i can tell you first hand she has gone through a lot . having my brother while my dad was in iraq, multipul deployment, raising 3 kids, working , AND school...just becuase you ask for help or "complain" DOES NOT MAKE YOU NOT A MILITARY WIFE ! i have been married a year. my husband is serving his FIRST deployment ...i knew he was in the military when we got married but that does not make it any easier ... if i want to " complain " about him being gone i feel i have the right to ... and i do not care how long you have been married ... my mom a military wife married 23 yrs ( been together since h.s) STILL misses my dad when he leaves... just becuse you KNEW what you were getting into DOES NOT make it any easier !!! i bet you still miss him when he is gone and you have "bad days" where you need to vent and need the support. you as a VETRAN WIFE should be HELPING those who are new to it .. NOT complaing about them. WOMEN like you are the reason i do not associate with Vetran wives. you think you are so much better A LOT has changed in 15 years !!! ITS A DIFFRENT WAR A DIFFRENT MILITARY! so why dont you pull up your " BIG GIRL PANTIES " and deal with it you dont like it why dont you ' LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT " you do not have to read nor reply to the post they make ... im sorry if i have offended anyone

Shannon - posted on 01/28/2010

It's nice to see a few women who aren;t going to bash the messenger on this thread. No one knows what precipitated this response, no one knows what happened to make this woman write this post, and as far as I know there is no written rule that states you either act one way on this site or go to hell. Everyone expresses stuff their own way, not one of us is created in the other's likeness. I have serious doubts about a majority of these posters ability to show compassion in any situation unless the person they show compassion to is saying what they want to hear. Step one step outside that box of comfortability, or say something that hits a little too close to hme for another woman, and watch the fur fly.



Remember ladies...most of you give the advice to ignore posts if the lady didn't like what was being said. You all can do the same, unless hypocrisy is what everyone is going for. What is good for the goose is good for the gander.

HAHAHAHA. Did you post this just to see what kind of reaction you would get out of people!??? WELL YOU GOT IT. You are a disgrace to the term "military wife" and you arent acting like a proud wife by posting something like this!

Ashley - posted on 01/28/2010

Well, I married my husband before he even joined into the military, and I have never knew any one in the military, so, NO, I didnt know what WE were getting into and seeing this just pissed me off, cause yes, we are supposed to be here to support each other, not to bring one another down and feel bad. Obviously you are not a very good person or military spouse. Cause we help each other in need, and support one another when needed. Shame on you!! Everyone deals with life in their own way. Have you ever heard of venting??

Cori - posted on 01/28/2010

AMEN SISTA! i married my husband after he joined the military, had a subtle idea of what all was involved.. basically i knew that he wasnt going to be able to do things a normal husband would do, we werent going to be able to live wherever we wanted, and maybe sometimes he would have to be in a hostile war zone without much notice. there are a lot of things that i have learned a long the way about health care, single men in the military, and rules that arent all that known!

BUT ITS THE LIFE! i think that women never know what to expect but you are part of a bigger picture now! your life isnt always going to be your own or go by your plan!! yes people dont tell the whole truth when you ask questions in the military and you dont always get the answer you want but its the life, we all deal with it and hearing people complain about it just makes it worse!

my husband and i do what we can to keep ourselves happy and healthy!! dont think of the military as just a means to cause but rather just any other JOB! because that is what it is.. yeah its contracted , yeah its demanding and yes, stressful! but any job that you or you spouse has is going to ensue the same problems and you dont hear all of the civilian families complaining because they know that its life and its what they have to deal with to get by and be happy!

Alot of people are saying that some people just need a place to vent....well what do you think she is doing.....some of yall are talking about acceptance.....yet your the same ones condemning her comments....so why the double standard.

Diamelia - posted on 01/28/2010

I'm not even going to read what everyone else said because I'm sure everyone is supporting military spouses and their need to do a little venting. The Military constantly changes their minds and you never know what you're in for besides crazy hectic lives that though it may all be worth it EVERYONE needs time to vent. Be it with the job you chose, the kids you chose to have, or the person you decided to marry whether or not he be in the military. As for recruiters lieing. He may not think he's lieing because he may not know better. Recruiters push a lot of info that is best case senario if you're super lucky. The majority of people that join do not get that lucky. As for Leigh, you just sound like a bitter lady that needs to take YOUR biotching somewhere else. Blogging about the craziness of being a military spouse with kids is what this forum is about. Don't like it?? Buh Bye!!

Gayle - posted on 01/28/2010

wow, what nerve! like others have said, this is a support site not a shut up and get over i site. woman come here when they have problems ndto make friends! my husband also joined adter we got married and i had some idea of what i was getting into, since my uncle is a 20+year soldier, but there are things that come up that are unexpected and harder to dea with once you get to them then you thought it would be. when i got pregnant, i had no idea that they would tell us "oh you'll be deployed in 3 months" so he left for Iraq when i was 6 months pregnant, and it was hard! i love my husband and am just as proud of him as anyoneelse can be, btthe military life is a difficult one and sometimes we need emotional help.

Brigitte - posted on 01/28/2010

As a Army wife and my husband is a COL. who has to been in for 20+ years i would like to say that leighs comments are a horrible display of what a military spouse is and what we represent. our younger spouses need forums like this to be able to talk with other spouses, there is nothing wrong with venting or asking for help.. my husband just returned from a 15 month deployment and thank god my kids are alot older but for younger spouses i realize how hard it is.. so please do not listen to people like her. there are plenty of us who are here to help.. i feel sorry and hope to god her husband is not in a postion of command, because i would pity her frg and spouses!

Heather - posted on 01/28/2010

I agree, that when you marry someone in the military that you marry the military too, but this is also a place where people should be able to vent about the frustrations of living in a military family! Which unless you are completely clueless there are frustrations and struggles about being married to someone in the military! There are also the frustrations and struggles that our loved ones in the military are also "dealing" with. I was in the Army and met my husband, I know both sides. I love the Army! I wish I could still be in the Army but I had to do the best thing for my little girl! The military is rough and talking about the struggles and finding out what people who have lived this life for a while are doing to cope/ deal is a good idea. So why if you don't like it then it seems to me that maybe you should try joining a different group! I think this should be a safe place to vent!

Cassandra - posted on 01/28/2010

I agree that most military winves knew what they were getting into but that doesn't mean that it is easy. I found out I was pregnant with my first child in Hawaii a week after my husband left for his first deployment...it was no easy. My family is on the East coast and I lived alone. I love my family but it is hard to deal with a lot the crap the military hands out. Them leaving for training and courses and deployments all the time isn't so great. You have to deal with missing them and basically being a single mom so if I or any of the other spouses want to talk about we have the right to. We are supposed to all be like a family and support each other not criticize and be rude and mean for no reason...just stop reading the topics that you don't like.

Jess - posted on 01/28/2010

I have to admit that I am deeply offended by the originator's comments. Like many before me I did not know what I was getting into....nor did my husband. I was not fortunate enough to have support from other military spouses and I have had many distasteful experiences. However, I still hang in there. Why? Because my love for my husband is stronger than the weak oppinions and actions of others. In fact it is one of the things that connects us all together...no matter what our experiences are in the world of military spouses. Some have it easy or adapt well other struggle. Isn't that why we are all here?

Denise - posted on 01/28/2010

Did u have the same opinion the very first time he deployed? It is annoying, I agree, but it's the internet, people get together and complain. Read it or start a new group, either way people complain...

Rachael - posted on 01/28/2010

this is so insensitive. I agree that many military wives need support, especially new ones. Hopefully no one in need will ever ask you for advice only to be bashed and abused. You need to reevaluate your thinking. I hope you can somehow be able to view things from another point of view. I'm always here if anyone needs a helping hand. If you're in need, feel free to message me or add me to your circle. Not all military wives are insensitive as this woman.

Vicki - posted on 01/28/2010

I find it interesting that the person that started all this mess has yet to return to defend herself. Then again she just MIGHT be smarter than that, after all who wants to go up against 86(at the time of posting this, i'm sure the number will get higher) pissed off Military Wives all at once? It could get pretty ugly pretty fast.



All in all, I have found a lot of wives that are patriots just from reading your messages. It is quite encouraging to know that I'm not the only one that thinks Leigh is full of B***S***, as well as finding other wives that have struggles just like me, or worse even. I can't imagine being a Navy wife and not seeing your husband for long periods of time just bcz he's on a Naval Ship. Deployments are hard, difficult, depressing and just sucky. Having 2 kids under 2 w/ my husband home is hard (we didn't have kids when he was on his Deployment) not having to worry about having kids was hard, add on 2 babies plus all the crap that comes with a deployment. You'd be crazy NOT to reach out for help. Any way my point is, even though the majority of the posts are about complaining about Leigh's post. I have found some comfort and yes dare I say it SUPPORT from just reading your messages. See there Leigh, even when you weren't meaning to you did the exact opposite thing you wanted to do, you brought a LOT of pissed off Military Wives together, if only to b**** about you.

Aundraya - posted on 01/28/2010

So, I read your post to my husband last night, because it really upset me. He's in the Navy, and he told me to tell you that you need shut up and ship out. He said that if he didn't have his friends to "whine" to, he'd go crazy, and he loves his job! It's human nature to want to complain, even when we knew this could happen. I just think it's sad, because as a new Navy wife, you would be the sort of person I'd go to for advice, seeing as you have so much experience. Thank God I'm not a timid sort or your post would have shamed me into thinking that missing my husband is wrong. I'm just happy to see that out of all the women on here, your opinion is shared by a slim minority.

C. - posted on 01/28/2010

@Danielle.. Uh, YES People DID hear you the first time.. CHECK YOUR MESSAGES!!! And another thing, you can claim that no recruiter lies all you want, SOME RECRUITERS DO LIE! I never said my husband's recruiter has lied, so I'm not looking for someone to blame at all, but the fact remains that there are some dirty recruiters out there and if you can't see that then you really need to open up your eyes!!!! PLEASE RE-READ THE POSTS, NOBODY SAID THAT ALL RECRUITERS LIE! BUT SOME DO!

THANK YOU ALYSHA....apperantly no one heard it when I said the same thing about Recruiters....where are you stationed at? We are currently in IN.

Marilou - posted on 01/28/2010

Well Leigh, in this circle everyone has her own points of view and needs help and encouragement. Thereby, we should post supportive replies. Everybody here should acquire the camaraderie just like the AF's vision, just like our husbands deal to their corps.

Lisa - posted on 01/28/2010

where is the compassion for your fellow human beings? I have been a military spouse for close to 29 years now and yes we will be retiring. Let me just say that military life IS NOT EASY and it is not for everyone. You have to learn to wear many hats and deal with things you never thought you would have to. I was an FRG leader for many years and it was difficult to get people to come to the meetings - but they knew we were there if they needed us - no matter the time or day! And we did our best to try and keep them informed and check on them. Some accepted it - others not so much. But you still try. Even if you only help one person deal with a deployment, that is one person who needed you. People deal with stress many different ways and that includes lashing out at the ones who are trying to help. Yes my husband was already in the army for a year when we got married but I didn't understand everything and things have changed so much since we first came in. The resourses that are available now are WONDERFUL and the support groups are as well. People just need to learn to be compassionate and understanding and not so judgemental. As our one daughter tells us all the time - "Opinions are like buttholes - everybody has one" and good or bad EVERYONE is entitled to their opinion - even Leigh. For all the new wives, don't let one non-supportive military spouse spoil it for you. There are just people like that in this world. There are many of us out here who will listen and try and help anyway we can! Remember we are all military families and even though a few seem like they are handling the stress well, there is always something that happens that they too need someone to talk to!

Well one thing is for sure, there are those out there who do not support eachother or the new wives but we can sure band together like no other. you girls are like a hurricane!lol now dont get me wrong im right there with you all. i am a new Army wife, my husband and i have only been married a year, my dad was a Army Ranger but things have for sure changed since he was in so no i dont know everything and yes i am looking for support! and what Leigh has done is the reason i look out side my own community for support there are to many wives who think because they have "experience" that they are better than us with less. and they are extremely wrong!!!! and although it sounds horrible there are a few with thier noses high enough i would like to stick my foot out and trip in the grocery store, but in all honesty they are the ones that need help, they need to be brought back down to earth and into the 21st century, where its not every wife for her self and figure it out on your own, we need to do this together, there are way to many of us to go out and attempt it on our own. So girls stick together even if it is to defend our own because we are for sure a specail kind of woman to deal with what the Military puts us threw. and for those of you like Leigh i will pray for you because i truly do feel bad for you and all the extra grace people need to be around you with that kind of out look.

I LOVE my husband for being a GREAT husbad and GREAT father and even BETTER protector of our country...I knew it when I said, "I do," that there would be times that our country came first and I know it know...that is the way of the military wife...Thank you!!!

Amber - posted on 01/27/2010

Congrats Leigh, you offically suck at life. You should know as a salty military wife that things happen and as a human being you need support. Military life is a huge adjustment whether you married into it or were there from the get go. Use your years of experience to help the young wives through their experience through the mind fuc* that comes with this lifestyle. Be a voice of help and understand not such a cold Bit&h.

Angela - posted on 01/27/2010

I guess my biggest problem was when she said "IF YOU or your spouse is in the military!" Leigh how many days have you spent in the military? If the answer is none you can not tell me that I do not have the right to complain sometimes about what happens to me while I proudly serve. You may think you know what the military is because you are married to someone who is in the military, but you really don't understand unless you have been there. How many straight years has your husband has spent at sea? My husband will have spent 7 1/2 straight years stationed on board a ship. No one tells you about oblihold when you join. We have a saying in the Navy, "a bi*&ching sailor is a happy sailor", sometimes you just have to complain because it is the only thing you can control in your life.

Caryn - posted on 01/27/2010

WOW! So after reading through all of these messages the first thing I notice is that Leigh has never once come back to defend her status, which leads me to believe that 1. she wanted to see what she could get started and is sitting back reading and laughing about the chaos she created or 2. she is using the internet to say things she would not normally have the guts to say to people if she were face to face to them and in my opinion that makes her a coward.
I am a new Army wife... my husband will be graduating basic training next week and I have a 2 yr old and another baby on the way. My husband and I will be married for 4 yrs next month. Did I think I knew what I was getting into when we went into this, YES. But sometimes circumstances change, when I agreed to doing this the plan was for me to stay with my parents for support and help with my daughter. Well the day my husband swore in is the day that my mom very suddenly passed away. So on top of my husband leaving, I no longer have my mom and I am taking care of my dad as well as my daughter and my pregnancy. Do I sometimes come here looking for the advice I would have asked my mom, ABSOLUTELY. Is there days that are just plain hard and tiring and it is nice to have someone who knows say "You are doing a good job, keep it up!" - YES! Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, and everyone is entitled to have a bad day. But when you post mean and hurtful things to make yourself feel superior or better you are nothing more than a school yard bully. The wifes that come on here for advice or that are just having a bad day, they do not need to be kicked while they are already down. If your opinion is one that is going to be hurtful... well than maybe the old saying "if you have nothing nice to say dont say anything at all" should apply. Us military wives need to stick together... we are the only ones that can understand certain aspects of all of our lives, this attacking eachother on this post has gotten out of control. There is a back button on all of our computer screens, instead of being mean, click that.

I completely agree with you Meghan. Being an FRG Leader, it is so hard to get spouses to participate. Either the soldiers dont want them involved bc they hear it is nothing but drama or the spouses themselves has had a bad experience. We should be uplifting and helping those who needs it. Not saying hold their hand or blow smoke up their backside, but actually listen to them and help them in a way that would be beneifical to their situation. Dont make them feel less than what they are. Just as you are supportive to your husband, be supportive to your military family!! Dont think because you have been in for so long that you know everything bc as I have stated before military life CHANGES DAILY!!!

Meghan - posted on 01/27/2010

I am going to say only this, that you Leigh are the reason why so much drama is caused in FRG's and why the younger military wifes can't ask for help or vent to someone. So thank you for making it so the next generation feels that they can't go to an expierenced wife for some help and support.

Sara - posted on 01/27/2010

I too am married to an Army soldier. I think it is a lot easier for me to "deal" with it because I too am in the Army. We met while both of us were stationed in Korea. All I have to say is, there are a lot of support groups and things the military offers to military spouses to help with transitions. Do your homework and it will make things easier. Of course when our spouses are overseas we naturally worry but it is part of the job. Study up on it and you will be able to see that the real military really does help out and support us as spouses and also soldiers.



As for Leigh, you are a cold-heartless BITCH!!!!!!!! For someone that has been married to a servicemember you sure are negative. I bet you are one of those wives I heard about that just bitch and bitch and bitch. Well news for you..... DONT YOU DARE SIT HERE AND SAY THOSE THINGS UNLESS YOU EXPERIENCED IT. I WAS STATIONED OVERSEAS AND AWAY FROM MY SON FOR OVER A YEAR. I knew what I was getting into but it still hurt to be away. Why dont you try a support group.... "MY HUSBAND MARRIED ME AND ALL I DO IS BITCH!!" GROW UP

My father was a recruiter and my husband is currently a recruiter and he does not lie to his applicants, truth is a lot of recruiters don't care if you want to come into the Army. If your there to just come in because the Army is a last resort in your life, they honestly don't want to waste their time putting you in. Yes there are shady recruiters out there trying to get numbers, but not all of them are like that. So please watch what you write in a post before you go posting it! Thanks!

whoa I just read your political views "none I stay out of that" I certainly hope that means that you just dont want to put that info out in a public place for all to see. I belive that as a spouse of a memeber of the military I have even more of a responsibility to be informed, and active, in the democratic process of the country that my husband has pledged to die to protect.

the whole "real military wives" from rebekka comment is complete bullshit..what is everyone else except you an leigh and that other lala lady...fake wives? you ladies are so much older then me, so its kind of funny too see a 20 year old more grown up then you. asking for help or complaining isnt weakness..i think your confusing emotionless with strength. you dont know any of theese womans situations, so how are you going to judge their strength and weakness based on your own experience.
