So I have just started to hang out with some wives, our husbands are in the same unit. Already there is drama, this wife doesn't like that wife. This wife said this about that wife. It's a bunch of immature, catty women who have nothing better to do that start crap. How do you all feel about other military wives? Have you been able to meet any who are on the same intellectual level as you? I'm am just curious!
I just moved a month and a half ago to our new base and have yet to meet anybody else, much less other wives from the unit. I know there is an FRG meeting coming up, but I'm not sure that any friendships will develop from that. Before we moved here, we lived an hour from post, so I wasn't around the other wives. Good luck though!
We have been at our current station for 3 years, getting ready to PCS to Hawaii in June, and I really only have 1 true friend who isn't all about drama drama drama gossip gossip gossip. We hang out with our neighbors quite a bit, but they do a lot of gossip about the other neighbors and talk drama about the ex-wives, etc. This is only our first duty station, so Hawaii will be our 2nd, but from what I've heard, most wives are very catty, two-faced, consumed by gossip, and are just looking for that right moment to stab you in the back.
It's absolutely rediculous how these women act. I'm like get a life, get a job, go to school, pick up a hobby...something! I'm a very private person and I don't run my mouth about my personal life, nor will I run to the next woman and tell her what I know. I will be starting school soon and hope to meet some new people who are on the same level as me.

I'm the same way. I went 2 years here without a single friend really. The 1 great friend I have, I met her on a support group on Facebook, then after we started talking outside the group she told me she was moving here, so when she did we met up and really clicked...That was just this past September and now I'm moving in June :( It's just the way of the military I guess. All the wives are obsessed with what rank everyone's husbands are, because they want to "outrank" everyone else. Personally I could care less what rank people are. If I don't like someone, I don't talk to them and that's that.

My military friends are the wives from DH's BN except for one .. but we have our own circle and keep to ourselves. Hope that makes sense. So, yeah. There are some amazing military-wife-friends out there.
Quoting Soniam301:
I have amazing military friends but none are in my dh unit.
I have 1 very close friend whos husband was in my husbands company. Her husband went to drill school so they will be leaving in april 
. I have a couple other friends who are not in the company but not as close as I am with the one. We live 45 mins from post so I don't get wrapped in to drama a lot. I have made friends in the area who are not military.
I have been able to, but they are few and far between. Most are pretty catty, and immature. I can stand any one for a short amount of time, but those types of people are the worst.
i've had mixed experiences with them. my theory on it is simple- i will give anyone a chance, but if you are drama, catty, too gossipy, i will stop hanging out with you. i find it's better if you hang out with wives from a different command, boat, unit(whatever...). We're Navy and my husband is on shore duty. I've met a couple ladies that are also Navy wives, but are all associcated with other commands. So far, so good. :-) Our last command was so full of drama! I was over it...
