Today I was picking my girls up from school like every other day. A man was there, who I've seen a hundred times before, but never talked to. As I was getting the girls into the car he came up to me and said "Isn't your husband that military guy?". I simply said "yes, he is". Then he starts asking me a hundred questions "is he a Sergent?", "are you stationed at the base", "do you have access to the base?", "isn't he a recruiter?", "what did he do before he was a recruiter?", "where have you been stationed?". The questions went on and on until I said I had to get the girls home. It was so out of left field that it's been on my mind since. My dh doesn't have any extra security clearance, he doesn't have a top secret job or anything like that but the whole asking about base access and dh's rank has me uneasy.
Am I over reacting? Was this just a man showing interest the military?
That is a little creepy... But maybe he is just curious? I dunno.
Thanks for the replies. I'm sure he was just curious, but they way he approached me was kind of off. He waited until I was at my van instead of starting a conversation with me up at the school. Then he didn't even say hello, he said "isn't your husband that military guy". That just got my guard up, I guess.
We'll see what happens tonight when I pick the girls up.
When we go back home to California people are very interested in my husband, but here nobody cares, maybe he wants to join.
Anyone Stationed in Germany?
