The Military ABCs: As told by Military Spouses

 

The internet is an amazing place. Not only do you get to read up on this crazy military life, but once in a blue moon you get connected with another spouse who is on the other side of the world (Japan to be exact). Holly and I are both relatively new military spouses and we collaborated together to make our own version of the Military ABC’s: Military wife edition.
A: American pride will be engrained in your every being. B: Blues, a girl’s favorite uniform.


C: Care packages will become its own job and you will spend more than you should on them. 
D: Deployment, the least favorite word in the military vocabulary.

E: Excitement when he finally comes off that plane from a long deployment.

F: Facetime is the life force of long distance relationships.

G: Growth, because you will quickly grow a lot as a person and within your marriage!

H: Hurry up and what. Bring snacks and a water bottle

I: Ice cream will get you through those long, lonely nights

J: “Jogging” with your spouse does not mean a quick lap around the block at an easy pace. Get ready for a hike.

K: Keepsakes, you could probably fit all of them in one box because you know how much you’ll be moving through their military career.

L: Language, because the military speaks a language other than English.

M: Moving, moving, moving. What you have to look forward to over the course of their military career.

N: Names, because your spouse’s given name will be replaced with all sorts of nicknames.

O: Operation Security, something that is always in the back of our mind.

P: Patience, because the military likes to test it.

Q: Quality time, every minute together counts even if it’s through Skype.

R: Religion, something to keep you sane.

S: Skype, speaking of which; this will be your life line while he’s gone.

T: Travel, one thing that’s guaranteed by the military.

U: Uniforms will take over your house whether they are home or not.

V: Vacation, what we are all hoping gets approved.

W: “What”. You’ll be asking yourself ‘what’ when hearing about anything pertaining to the military. Prepare for lots of confusion.

X: Xbox, the device you share your spouse with.

Y: You time is so needed in this lifestyle, don’t lose sight or your hobbies and goals!

Z: Zebra, between the face paint and field time, your spouse will come home with some interesting tan lines.

Feel caught up on the military life yet? Are there any funny ones we missed? I’d love to hear your take on this alphabet or what you can relate to the most!
