For those of you that WOH and say you have to do it to make ends meet. Do you really do it to make ends meet or do you do it cause you want to keep up a certain lifestyle? Do you know how to live with out debt or without having to keep up with the joneses?


ETA Please excuse all my siggys. Obviously I dont know how to turn them off. I thought I did.

If he joined before 9/11 then he would have at least one re-enlistment since 9/11. Again a choice.

Part of signing up is signing a contract stating that you will go any place, any time your country needs you. Anyone that signed that contract did in fact volunteer to be deployed.

A consequence is different than a choice. One does chose to join the military. One doesn't chose to be deployed. People chose to be nurses. They don't chose to get sick from exposure at their job. People chose to be police officers, firemen, etc...doesn't mean they chose to be killed in the line of duty. There is a consequence to all jobs, doesn't make them a choice.

You might be right. He might be all these things. Just wondering why you think I should give him a break? I haven't said anything to him. He spends a lot of time alone with her. Again I believe I have stated more than once, that I don't have any issue with him enjoying his afternoons but this is an everyday event.

<>

Hmmm..why would you think I talk negatively about him to his wife? Where did I say that? I don't have to imply anything to him to his DD. He has made the statement himself that he is happy that his DD is so happy with me that she cries when he picks her up.

<>

That isn't my job. That is his wife, and a job for himself. He is one of 5 children. His youngest brother is 12 years younger than him. He has no issues with babies. When he gets here his DD is ready for her nap. His wife just went away for the weekend to a girls weekend at the beach. He had the baby the entire weekend. No problems.

Just wondering why you would think it is my job to show him how to care for his DD? Especially if he doesn't ask for it?

Then I guess I am still right. I never said wrong...I said odd. If you want to define what I said as wrong be my guest. However that isn't what odd means, nor did I ever use the word wrong. I believe I have been pretty clear in saying that I didn't mean wrong. Just to be even clearer...if I thought it was wrong, I would have said wrong.

Did she say her DH was deployed to Iraq?

But the contract that they signed stated that they would go anywhere, any time for their country. So deployment was part of the contract that they choose to sign.

I can see why you are confused. You have continually made false statements about many of my posts. That is why I told you I will just let it go. I can't debate with someone that continually does this.

Uh, no. . .but one of the tickers she has incorporated into her plethora of signatures shows that they have over a month before her dh returns from sea (which is still a deployment).
