...it doesnt mean anything, Victorias Secret doesnt care what your husbands rank is, youre still going to pay $50 for their bras...the restaurant doesnt care either, if youre military you get a free bloomin onions on veterans day...if youre having a baby, the dr is going to care for ur baby just as much as a civilian...when you go to get a car loan ur credit is more important than your husbands rank...if you have cancer youre going to get the SAME treatment as an E3 and below...

So lets cut the B and remember that NO one is better than anyone else because of their husband. Your husband earned his rank by working hard to get there...going to college, or kissing butt. YOU supported him. We are ALL military wives, we go throug the same stuff, we all have challenges, we all have issues...maybe we dont always agree with one another, but there is NO reason to down one another, give your opinions, but no need to judge people because we have ALL made mistakes in our lives...but at the end of the day we are ALL military wives and we ALL have the best husbands that we are SUPER proud of and love with all our hearts!!

What brought this on?

What brought this on?

lol, the other thread about housing and how rank matters...and all the other threads were women post ranks...so just in general, one of those pet peeves that im venting about :) lol. 

Camerons Creations --- 13 years ago -

oh I see. You know what drives me insane? Is the ranks on the wives windsheilds or on windsheilds in general. I don't get it. MY personal opinion.

AGREED! we dont have anything military on our car... 

Camerons Creations --- 13 years ago -

Neither do we. I don't mind military affiliated stickers, it's just the ranks. It's like I don't care what rank you, or your husband is, just freakin' drive! 

HavingaBOY --- 13 years ago -

hahahaha yes!! especially on the freeway, when they cruise in the fast lane on their phones... 

shellibeth --- 13 years ago -

Yep it all makes me giggle. I've worked way too hard in my own career to take any of this seriously. Thank goodness I can stand on my own accomplishments. I feel kind of sorry for rank nazis. 

hihi --- 13 years ago -

I agree.. I hated living on base (not saying everyone is like this) but every time I met someone it was like " Hi what rank is your husband"
I hated it a lot

Seriously, if someone came into my work and was like oh my husband is such and such rank...id be like ok?? and your credit is 530...sorry, cant help you!!

Do they expect the Mps at the gate to greet them as their rank every time they drive through? 

Calimommy --- 13 years ago -

The only reason I care about rank, is because obviously our hubby's try hard to earn the next step, so in that sence it's exciting. Also of course pay, seeing that jump in pay and how hard they worked. Probably the only thing I think about when it comes to rank. 

SecretSquirrel --- 13 years ago -

I don't have any military stickers (nor does my husband) but what if the rank stickers were placed by the husband? Just because a wife is driving does not mean she put it there.

To me there is a difference between rank and experience. I highly value the experience other women have in all matters of life including military life. I am also willing to use my own experience to help, reassure or advise another when appropriate. I also feel that showing respect for those older than oneself is a value that not displayed enough nowadays.

I agree, except it's their rank you know? So why would I have it on the vehicle that I primarily drive. I also wonder what the purpose is? I know it is something to be proud they earned, but what purpose does it serve on a vehicle?

Actually, a lot do.

There is a difference between being PROUD and wearing it as your own...

Exactly :)

If one of my patients stated they had a higher rank I would laugh. As if I would save their life any faster than if they were still in boot camp.

In my experience, when you are around classy wives of higher ranking Marines you never know their husbands' ranks.

I took care of an elderly man for months. His daughter, who stayed by his bed, was a Marine wife...but that's all I knew. One day, her sister let it slip out that the lady was a general's wife. The Marine wife actually looked embarrassed. She quickly looked at me and said, 'My husband is a regular Marine, just an old one.'

People who throw around rank that isn't theirs and they haven't earned should be ashamed.

Every few months there is a "my husband has it harder then yours" grunt wife. Let the argument go noo one cares. 

SecretSquirrel --- 13 years ago -

Uh oh, here comes the grunt vs. Pog argument by the wives... until further derailed by a recon wifey! :-D 

mnm72318 --- 13 years ago -

Recon? I'm making my point about what homegirl mention "we all go through the same thing" NO WE DO NOT! Some marines sit in an office some are out in the field etc . no one cares what your husband does ! Julie :)

lol oh geese!!

In my experience the only wives who have ever asked me about my husbands rank is the ones of lower ranking Marines. I think most, not all, but the majority of O wives know how stupid it looks to try and pull their husbands rank. I also don't think I've seen car with an O's rank on it, it's mostly enlisted people with their rank.
I used to think it was funny living in 29 Palms and people would ask what street you live on, to try and figure out your husbands rank. 

shellibeth --- 13 years ago -

Somewhat true. My husband delivered fuel and ammo (and pretty much any explosive) with his old MOS and he was in several convoys that got blown up. Some wives have husbands that don't even deploy. No matter what your husband's MOS, being a Marine wife is not easy. I think they all sacrifice.
