AHHHHHH.  Someone asked a question about my job. *L*\n\nI retired from the Army after spending 20 years as an MP.  I never wanted to do anything else.  It's one of the few jobs in the Army that has a peacetime mission.  We enforce the law on base, and take care of our soldiers when they are off base.  In time of war, we have our law enforcement mission as well as providing escort for various convoys and route recons.\n\nA lot of people don't like the MPs, but they are the same folks that don't like civilian cops.

I am!  And no, I'm not pregnant OR going away.  Wishful thinking on his part, I'm a Sargeant and here to stay.  When I joined up three years ago, the Marine Corps (according to my recruiter) had less than 10 thousand females to the 90 thousand males.

I was also a young Marine Corp wife (still married, but now he has moved on to law enforcement).  As I know money is tight in the military and you are so far away from your friends and family it is hard to find something to do and find any time together.  The best thing you can do is to get to know your neightbors.  One of them might have or know someone that has a daughter/son that babysits.  We were lucky enough to find that!!  If that's not an option right now......try some little day trips as a family which is always good for the military man to spend time with his family as a whole.  There is always something to do without spending a lot of money.  Pack a lunch and go check out everything there is to do around the base and then spawn out to the towns around.  And car time is always a good time to talk and reconnect!!  Good luck.....it's not easy.....but it can be done!!

You don't say what nationality you are. I'm sure you wouldn't be able to vote if you are just here for a short time,and not a BRIT. Is your husband British?If you are British then I would go to the nearest town hall.

I'm sorry to hear you say that people with children are snobs.  While, I'm not Army (you're Army..that's probably part of the problem), I'm an Air Force wife.  We have a 3  1/2 year old son.  My curfew sure isn't 2000 and I have many many single friends.  Now as a parent, I'm not as likely to go out and drink wildly and party like when i was 21 but I do like to entertain.  I think your problem is that you are still immature, you sound like a new military wife.  You need to get rid of your prejudices against people with children.  We can be good friends too!  By the syntax of your sentences and your improper spelling, I'm thinking you are under 21.  Try the Enlisted clubs.  That's usually where the kind of people you are looking for hang out.

Why if she love and respects you whats the problem i would stick by my man whatever he wants to do. She should support you.\n\nMaybe she is scared that you will have to go to iraq or something you have to talk about it to her and you both have to be reasonable and she will have to give you good reasons. Good luck and fair play wanting to join up

buddy i am a vet, two tours in iraq. and i want to thank you for saying such a good american thing and having the courage to post it here. i finished my military sevice couple of weeks ago and people like you are the reason we can keep going. even though our wives leave us, we lose most of our money, never get to see our kids born and miss thier birthdays. it helps to know there are still people left that have a love for this nation we serve. its hard to put up with the things we do and most every morning we'd rather stay in bed. thanks for makeing getting up every morning worth something good. my name is sgt curtis wellman, 6 years usmc 3 years us army

I take it you are one of those military experts that never served? Hey, you should be a Republican politician. The USA will pull out of Iraq when the hostilities have ceased and there is no threat from Iran and Syria. We do not hear much about it, but most insurgents that are not from Iraq enter over the border of Iran and Syria. The USA and Canada will be in Afghanistan, until the last al Qaeda is tracked down and killed or cartured. No women pres or pm, especially in Great Briton. They learned from Thatcher. US will not have a US president for another 20 years. I would get lower than a snakes belly or run the other way no matter where I am shot at. Some people do do extraordinary things in a hostile situation that you would not normally do.

The military may be a lot of waiting around, but thank God for that! I rather the men and women in the military be sitting here doing nothing, then fighting in our streets. If its so bad to be sitting there, why not volunteer to join the fighting? I have nothing but respect for those who fight for and defend our country, but I am ashamed that you are one of those people. You should be grateful you are alive and well.

If you want to send a care package or be a penpal, the best site to use is AnySoldier.  There, you will find troops from all branches of the military and all ranks and both sexes listed.  It will state if they want a penpal or what items they or their unit could use in a care package.  It will also give their address so that you can send it directly to them.\n\nThank you for your willingness to support our troops.  Morale and knowing the people back home care is a huge part of their lives.  Please just be cautious of websites asking for donations and such.  Even during this time and for this cause, there are many scams out there.  \n\nIf you'd like links to any other sites, please leave a message here and I'll post them for you.  I try not to post all of them because there's quite an extended list, but most of them are ones that we in the military are told are safe and trusted.  I usually just post the source link for what I think is best suited for what's being asked.\n\nThanks again from and Army wife of 18 years and 3 deployments!!

My hubby just got home in September!!! If you don't live on base and have military wives as friends, I suggest joining a Yahoo group for military wives... it's good to talk to others who've been there.. and are there for that matter!!!
