PCS Moves

This doesn't apply to every move. I have never done an international move, and I have heard that, due to increasing budget cuts, do-it-yourself moves are not as profitable as they used to be. But, here are my how-to's and two cents.

Military Spouses Selling Crap at Home

I have to vent. On the one hand, I support someone who is trying to earn income. On the other, I am sick to death of being told what a bad friend I am if I don't help so-and-so's bff make their Scentsy quota for the month. This work at home concept has gotten out of hand, and, much like everything else, if everyone could pay their rent hocking products from home, then everyone would. Only a few people make money for a reason, loves.

Military Discharge Types

I've heard some spouses get confused about discharge, and, since my husband was in the service and discharged previously, I thought I would attempt to shed some light and give others an idea about what the paperwork means when you fulfill your contract in the military.

More on Military Wives

Okay, for my New Years Resolution, I am going to try to avoid all the military wives that I can, haha. I mean, seriously, they stand outside of the schools on post and trash talk each other like they aren't all standing four inches apart. It's a disgusting display of being perpetually jealous and petty.

So here is a slew of new posts pertaining to military wives:

See, the Military is Full of Criminals!

True story that happened yesterday: My dad comes here to visit, loses his iPhone between the PX and getting into the vehicle to leave (not sure if it was dropped or if he was pick pocketed - we'll use the benefit of the doubt and say it was dropped on the ground or fell in a chair at the food court). He realizes 10-15 minutes later that the phone is gone, and goes back to search. I call the phone - it's off. Since they don't find shattered pieces anywhere, I assume it was taken. So I leave a message on the phone.

Another 10-15 minutes later, we get a call saying that the caller's buddy gave him to phone to return. He was an MP that found it, erased everything on the phone, and was going to resell it. That is, until he heard my message! Apparently, that scared the crap out of him, so he handed the phone to a friend and bolted.

Now, finding a phone in the PX area, you can guess it belongs to a soldier. Not only do you attempt to flat out steal it, but you're an MP??? The guy that's supposed to be UPHOLDING the law on post???? If you didn't see my post on the military being full of convicts, go check it out, this is a perfect follow up post!



And yes, it was my dad's fault for dropping the phone (if he did in fact drop it), but come on, where is the decency of people? Especially around Christmas time. Why should I have to threaten to get the real police involved to get back what's already mine? And deleting the pictures and apps, that was just evil. This reminds me of last year, when my mom placed an order on toysrus.com, accidentally switched two of the numbers on our address, and I had to threaten to call the police to get a package back from our neighbors when the box had our fricken name on it! I hate everything about the military at this point...

Military House = Convict Housing?

No offense to any ex-cons who are trying to turn their lives around, but I don't want you in my military. I'm sorry, but, if a teacher has to have a superb background in order to be around children, why can a criminal join the military and move into housing with hundreds of military children? Heck, how can you even be trusted to defend and serve as required if you couldn't do it in the day-to-day life?

Am I the only one that thinks this way? I mean, the military is at capacity and trying to get rid of soldiers to lower their budget, so why aren't the standards for becoming a soldier drastically rising as a result?

The Military Would Be Awesome Without the Wives...

Okay, I am tired and more than fed up with seeing Enlisted military spouses going around and acting like trash! I don't care who you are, if you're old enough to get married, you're old enough to at least pretend like you have some sense in your head.

Now, I recorded this when I was very angry, so there is an extreme amount of profanity, but I just can't take these little girls who are absolute idiots making military life intolerable!
