So hubby is army and he wants to stay that way. No big deal. I will support him and he loves it and it does have its pros. But I get so jealous when I see these pictures(in NC mainly) of how they painted their nurseries, or how they painted their houses, planted flowers. Im so jealous of that. Yea Yea Yea I know he signed up for this and Im his wife but I still can get jealous right? I feel like if I complain I get the WELL YOU SIGNED UP for it speech but that just irks me so bad. It could also be my horomones all out of whack but I dont know why I get so jealous. I am happy with our life. Does any one else feel like this?
psh let the green eyed monster out girly =]
im the same. Id LOVE to be able to paint and STAY somewhere... but alas, we seem to be doomed to apartments for the next 14 years.

14 for us too. I know I just hate talking about it because you know the speech Im talking about you knew what you signed up for. Why is that we knew what we signed up for but yet we arent in the military so to speak? That irks me so bad. We can paint but its either paint it back or get charged. We can plant flowers as long as they look right the dieing bushes they planted. And our yards are too small to plant anything. I also see kids toys thrown all over the yard and we cant do that we get in trouble it looks tacky. I love this lifestyle and my husband is happy but I do wish we lived in one spot

I agree, feel free to express you're feelings. My husband is currently deployed, hes coming back the begining of the year so we're moving back to hood, we just found out he's supposed to be getting orders for germany, so much for stablishing a home together for a while, it'll be up and go once again.

There are a lot of sacrifices we make that others may not have to and it can be hard sometimes. It is okay to express your feelings on stuff like that.

He got home from his first deployment November of 07, had to inprocess and it took 4 months they kept messing everything up, and then in May he reclassed for 2 1/2 months came home in August we PCSd here to Polk, he deployed again Fathers Day, comes home sometime next summer, and his unit is deactivating so which means we PCS again to somewhere else. Its like after each deployment we PCS to somewhere new. I still have things packed up. Thats the other thing Im jealous of I cant unpack everything lol

I feel ya on this. It seems so unfair at times. It's not even just being jealous of civilians. I know people in the military that never deploy because of the position they are in. My hubby has deployed 4 times in the last three years. He just deployed again on Sunday. They gave us a weeks notice, and we just had our second baby in September. When I was telling my friend whose husband is also in the military, she just said well thats the military. Honestly, I wanted to bitch slap her. She doesn't know how it feels to have her husband deploy or go tdy. He's been in over 6yrs and not once had to go anywhere.
You have every right to vent. I agree with you. It would be nice to stay in one place forever. We were at Ft. Sill, then Ft. Gordon (Which i hated Georgia) and now Germany. But we have actually been here for a year. But supposed to be moving somewhere else in Germany next year, then moving again a year afterwards.
you dont have houses where you are? I live in a house and I have my rooms painted and a garden outside. Mabye its just the army, are the bases in small towns? Most Navy bases are in huge cities so we can live anywhere we want.
Complain away. Just because we signed up for this, it doesn't mean we're not allowed to complain ... you're at Polk after all. We just moved from Polk ... you certainly have every right to complain! LOL!
BTW ... IF you wanted to, I know they allow you to paint. I know that's not the point of this post, but it's allowed there ... you just have to paint it back before the final inspection. We lived in Dogwood Terrace & painted. It really does make a HUGE difference in making a temporary place more "homey".
