we were told alllllllllllll week he would be off..they kept him till 10 last night in hopes of finishing up just to be told to come in today..UGH its frustrating as hell..especially with no overtime :(
to all the Military wives and g/fs..a BIG kudos to you for having the patience and understanding
Happy Independence day ladies

oh yeah.. why wouldn't he.. he's not military anymore.. but he's getting double time and a half about $34 a hour for 8 hours we wont pass up a extra $275 for today
My fiance is working today but I'm lucky, he works as a maintance man and only has to go in to fix something, so it will be an hour tops. Say thanks to your hubby for all he is doing for us!!
My hubby is working today and this morning i got a phone call at 2 a.m. from him calling saying happy 4th. but excited this day marks exactly halfway thru this deployment

My husband works today also. He will be home around dinner time so maybe we can enjoy some 4th of July festivities this evening. He is getting Holiday pay and the extra money is nice so Im trying not to complain too much.


Nope, he's at home still in his pjs....I'm the one who's stuck at work!!!! We've got 2 grant applications that HAVE to be mailed out on Monday so there was no way around it for me.
My husband works retail so he is always working holidays. It's almost a guarantee that when there is a holiday he will be working. He gets off at 7 tonight so we are going to be able to take the children to see the fireworks, and for that I am extremely grateful.

you mind if I ask why your upset that he's home?
Quoting Ambermurry08:Unfortunatley he's home

NO MY HUBBY HAS OFF TODAY BUT THIS IS ALSO THE FIRST HOLIDAY THAT HE HAS HAD OFF SINCE HE STARTED THIS NEW JOB IN SEPTEMBER SO HE HAS WORKED HOLLOWEEN, THANKS GIVING, CHRISTMAS EVE, AND DAY, NEW YEARS, EASTER, AND MEMORIAL. IM HOPING THAT HE DOESN'T GET CALLED IN BECAUSE OUR 2.5 YEAR OLD DD REALLY WANTS TO SEE THE FIREWORKS AND I CANT DRIVE DOWN TOWN BECAUSE IM TERRIFIED OF DRIVING IN SO MUCH TRAFFIC AND PEOPLE.
NO but I actually wish he has. If he was then that would mean he still had a job since he got laid off yesterday
