Tag Archives: Army Wives When it comes to the show Army Wives, actual Army wives have some very strong opinions. Those opinions seem to be split almost 50/50- either we love, love, love it and see ourselves the real-life versions of Roxy, Pamela and company; or we hate it so much, we’re on the verge of burning our ACU-patterned bras (please…  For the longest time, I considered myself misanthropic, but really, I’m just an introvert with misanthropic tendencies. To most people, if you like to be alone, there’s something wrong with you. You’re a hermit, and you need to get out of your shell, because being a “loner” is unacceptable. My perfect day would involve being… Its about time you came outta the closet! This is exactly to a tee how I am, and I’ve always felt so guilty about it and like I had to force myself constantly to become more extroverted. It’s almost like I’ve hidden this part of me. People constantly make me feel bad for not wanting to “go out and have fun”. I have more fun at home with a Sex & The City marathon! If I was out “having fun”, I’d feel awkward, uncomfortable, and be counting down until the minute I felt it was “acceptable” to leave. Thank you for putting it so well, and making me a little more comfortable with who I am. I think that people forget that some people just need time to recharge and refocus. As always I’m glad you are there to speak up for those that can’t seem to find the words to express themselves. I’m an introvert with and extrovert daughter and an extrovert husband.From someone who gets it thank you. I totally get this! For years I thought I needed to fix this about me. Then I read a book designed to help a person realize their God-given gifts and talents and I realized that my talents, though they make me inclined to be an introvert, can be used just as effectively for unique and purposeful things. I’ve come to embrace my introvertedness and I too count down the minutes until bedtime. That’s when my gifts and talents come out of where they have been hiding all day while I needed to take care of everyone else. Thanks for posting! [...] I am an introvert. Many criticize introverts, but I encourage criticizers to read “I *want* to be all by myself” and “Guide to Understanding the Introverted.” Not everyone can be a people [...]  Dear Roland, THANK YOU for standing by your soldier, especially through all the ups and downs Army life has thrown your way. THANK YOU for showing America what it looks like for a man to stand beside his wife and support her and her career. Especially in the unique role you play as a male… like, sharing, |

For years I would go to school, I was terribly shy, up until the 10th grade! Then, a Holy Uproar of “Who the heck am I”???, came about, and I had pushed a limit, but not my limits. Each year, its harder to make friends since I have moved again, and left them behind, or they have left me. Each year, my Facebook grows, but the True Friends that I have where I am I can count on one hand! Its difficult being friends with Women! THERE, I said it! I do not know how they are going to handle things. I have been friends with closet eaters, blabbermouths, and mice women. AND MORE!!! The good thing is, that when we see others, we do not wear it like the Scarlet Letter! I am glad I met you, and laugh at your blog…well, that or cry!
I love Army Wives…I do not look at it like a documentary…its a soap…a guilty pleasure if you will!
I love the show as well! Being an army wife myself I see some things that are true about being an army wife and some that are just for drama but I love it all! My husband hates the show but like you said, you either love it or hate it
Real Army wives are different as I know cause I am one for a long time now. You won’t see a generals wife friends with enlisted soldiers wives. Plus you cross a lot of wives for are not friend material. With that said I love this show and even though they get things wrong in it I will continue to be a faithful fan of Army Wives. It has gotten me through deployments and long month of field training.
I too am an Army wives fan. Yes. I know it isn’t realistic. Too me it is like the “Real Housewives” shows. A fun guilty pleasure!
I have about 20 friends, some of the best I have ever had, all from different states, from Long Island to Michigan to North Carolina to California to Mississippi, I could go on but I’ll spare you, lol. And even though we are spread out all over, some divorced and some whose soldiers got out, and some at other duty stations. But once you make that bond, it stays. So I am all for the new girls, because God knows, there ain’t a thing fancy about post housing unless you are above E6, haha. Sad but true. But I love my life as an Army wife and am both dreading and looking forward to the next four years. Because as many tears and fights the last four brought, it was all worth it:)
i love it too
