I got this off another site and thought it was so cute and very true!
Army of one
I am an Army Wife. I've noticed in my present job, there is a tiny quirk. There's no respect at all and its not considered work! Well, I am here to show you another point of view, and give you an idea of what I really do! Here's my job description and to better understand, it's written in the language of the Army man. I'm the IG, complaints come to me. I am the Medic, I bandage skinned knees. I'm the Leagal Office and the courts-martial, too. I decide the punishment, how much and on who. I'm Health: Welfare, inspecting for junk, and the ISG checking the bunk. I'm also Supply, in charge of food, clothes, housewares, diapers, toys heaven only knows. I'm the MP who secures the door, I'm also the PVT who GI's the floor. I'm the Mess SGT who cooks all the meals. I'm TMP in chage of the wheels. I'm MWR planning all the fun and I am the Bugler, announcing the "day is done". I'm the KP who does all the dishes; I am the DA who hears all your wishes. I'm the CQ and the Fireguard, too, there isn't that much that I don't do. I'm the instructor too, you see, because what is learned is taught by me. I'm the Squad Leader who knows his troops well, sometimes the Drill SGT who really can yell. I'm the S4, S1, 2 and 3, just about everything must come through me. Appropriations, taskings, commitments too, I'm responsible for all we do. I never go to battle, and AR of some sort, but you can count on me to bravely guard the fort. I'm ALWAYS on duty, I never take leave, no Holidays off, it's hard to belive! I can never ETS, I signed for life, my primary MOS is Mother, my secondary is Army Wife. For all my devotion, to duty, my LES says "NO PAY DUE" because I'm not paid in money, but in the words of 'I love you'. I AM AN ARMY WIFE!
Amen, amen, and amen!!!!!!! I'm printing this out to hand out at our FRG meeting next week!!!!!! Pretty much sums it all up! ('specially the IG part! )
Well - we were in chat last night & it got down to just three of us (well, it's down to me & you & you!! ) and we went from having fun to just downright silly in a matter of nanoseconds - I started singing Cisco tunes, Melody was playing with buttons, then Melody & I hypnotized Missy & she was a dog - first a little one then a bigger one, then she morphed somehow into a duck ....anyway - somewhere between straight jacket buckles, M&M's, and thongs, I decided it really was time to lose the bubblewrap, find my clothes, take my pills, and just go to bed! In the midst of all this fun - Missy lost the ability to type legibly, so Melody dubbed me "Elmer" & hey - I kindda like it! Someday I hope to be ElmerBob, but for now, that's just a dream.....just keep dreaming, just keep dreaming, just keep dreaming, dreaming, dreaming......
