What do you need it for?

That's a common question, but when I was asked that question today it caught me by surprise....

I went to housing to get an air filter and asked about a weed whacker and if I could borrow one, the guy said yes you can borrow it, what do you need it for? HUH? I stopped for a bit and thought this might be a trick question, but I answered "uh to cut my fence line?" hoping that was the right answer, LOL The maintenance guy asked "you're not gonna cut your whole yard are you?" WHAT? with a weed whacker? WOAH! That is just nuts. I answered again "uh no?" And that was that. Makes you think though, what people will do when they do not have brains in their heads, ha!

I don't get it.

In the wonderful world of the Army Spouse you have 2 groups. First is the HOOAH in your face support our Soldiers and other spouses. They usually try to find the good in this life and help out in anyway you can. Then there is a 2nd group, where they think they are helping but would rather sit and bitch about whatever they can. Now don't get me wrong, everyone complains, but instead of sitting there whining why not try and come up with a solution? That is the HUGE difference between the 2 groups.
I am proud to say I belong to the first of the 2. Where do you find yourself?

And DH is done being a Drill Sergeant! WOW! 2 years ago our family moved to Fort Jackson, on Jan 1st to be exact. It's been a great time and I made many great friends. But it's time for us to move on. Soon we will be packing up and headed to our new home in the hills of Tennessee. I am trying to enjoy my last 2 months here at Fort Jackson and try not to be too sad to leave. I truly love it here, I am in the minority on that but I don't mind. There is plenty to do and it's close to home. Being an Army wife you don't stationed near malls or activies often. Usually you are in the middle of no where!
