Still no drama on any of the FB pages
to write about so once again I'm on my own for an idea for a topic of
writing. Today's topic won't pertain so much to Edwards but to
military wives of all branches in general. Also, part of this post
will be in response to a recent video of Lil Wayne's blatant
disrespect to the Flag.
I'm not entirely sure what it is but
for some reason there are a majority of wives and girlfriends who
feel an absolute need to post photographs of themselves wearing their
husbands uniforms. Some of these photographs are extremely
distasteful and could be considered pornographic, some of them not so
much. Regardless, photos of women wearing their man's uniform always
seems to leave a very bad taste in my mouth.
I've never understood the desire to
take these types of photographs. Now, I'm sure that for some, it has
a lot to do with pride in their service member's military career. But
wives all around the world are equally proud of their civilian
husbands and I can think of no other career field where wives rush to
post photographs of themselves wearing their husband's work uniform.
Seriously, how many photos of women dressed up in pizza delivery
shirts, custodian uniforms and stuff like that. But you get a man in
uniform and the next thing you know, you're posing half naked in his
hat, jacket, dog tags, rank and unit patches. I know there's the fad of taking sexy
boudoir shots in part of the uniform to send to our husbands overseas
– I'm okay with that as that's for his eyes only. But when you're
posting photos on your facebook wall, making it look like you
yourself are part of the Armed Services, well, that's where it turns
from simple fun to disrespect to the uniform. Even more so is when
you have name tapes made to put on an ABU jacket stating “Air
Force/Army/Marine/Navy wife”.
The right to wear the uniform of the 4
branches of the Armed Services is something that is earned by signing
a contract, swearing in and volunteering your life for specific
amount of time for the service of your country. Just because your
boyfriend/fiance or spouse has made that agreement with the
government does not mean that you did as well.
Some bitches take this “Military
wife” thing way too far to the point it's sick. We all know the
types – the ones who throw their husband's rank around, demand
their car be saluted because they are married to an officer, who want
preferential treatment because they feel they are entitled to it
because of their husband's advances. But, here's a reality check, YOU
are not in the military. You are a spouse, a dependent and nothing
more. Your husband's career will carry on without you, believe it or
not. He will still deploy, he will still acquire rank, he will still
take PT tests with our without you.
You do not have “the toughest job in
the military”. If you honestly believe that is true, go spend a day
with any Ranger/Pararescue/Seal and try to do what they do. Even
better, go sit in a dug out foxhole in the middle of the Afghanistan
desert, shitting in a hole, not taking a bath for weeks on end, while
getting shot at and watching your brothers in arms die. Then tell me
how hard you have it. Unless you go to work with him daily, doing
the same exact job and receive a paycheck in your own name, you are
not in the military. Until the US Government adds a new AFSC or MOS
for Spouse you have absolutely no right to wear the uniform and
disgrace it with your tits hanging out or your legs spread and posed
like your waiting to service the entire flight. Want to wear the
uniform? Easy. Sign up for 4 years, go through basic training and
then you can earn that right. I bet once you did, you would show it a
lot more respect when posting photographs of yourself in it.
No Disrespect my ass |
Even the USC in Section 771 states:
Except as otherwise provided by law, no person except a member of the Army, Navy, Air Force, or Marine Corps, as the case may be, may wear -
(1) the uniform, or a distinctive part of the uniform, of the Army, Navy, Air Force, or Marine Corps; or
(2) a uniform any part of which is similar to a distinctive part of the uniform of the Army, Navy, Air Force, or Marine Corps
I don't see any exceptions to the rules being made saying its okay for military wives or girlfriends who think they are cute.
Which leads me into my next bitch. The
American Flag. Want to talk about something that deserves even more
respect than the uniform? The Flag is the symbol of what our fighting
men and women wear that uniform for in the first damn place.
I'm sure most by now have seen the
latest news about Lil Wayne tromping all over a flag on the ground.
On any military related site you can find the video and read comments
in response to it. Everyone is up in arms over his behavior and have
every right to be – it was an outright display of disrespect to the
symbol of this nation and what our troops fight for.
Yes he's a dipshit - but in reality are you any better? |
In truth, Lil
Wayne is a punk and his behavior shouldn't shock anyone. But these
same women who are bitching about Lil Wayne are many of the same
bitches who disrespect the flag themselves. People use it as table
cloths, wrap it around their naked bodies for photographs, wear
bikinis designed to look like it. Hell, you put your naked newborns
on it as a backdrop thinking its cute without even considering the
fact your kid might piss, shit or puke on that very symbol you so loudy
bitch about when you see idiots like Lil Wayne stomping on it. But
each and every time you do any of these things, you're disrespecting
it just as much. It is not a decoration for you to use to flaunt
your military family status. There's a reason why the men and women
serving salute the flag – the flag does not represent them – its
the other way around. I've had several members of my family fight
and die for this country and when I see you laying naked on the flag
thinking your cute I just want to scream “Get Your Cooch Juice off
my Flag”. You are not cute, you are not sexy, you are a
disrespectful twat nugget who deserves to get slapped.
Disrespect - it's not just for military wives |
To the photographers on this base –
Stop taking these types of photographs in the first damn place. If
spouses ask for it, refuse. If you desire to take these types of
photos then spend a bit of cash and buy fabric that is striped
without the Stars that is made for this purpose. But when you take
photographs just to collect a paycheck, your just as disrespectful as
the bitches asking for them.
Until next time....
Jane Doe,
ReplyDeleteAnother great blog...Love it!
We really should go for drinks...You are one cool chick and love what you write about!!!
Glad you enjoyed today's post. Maybe I will take you up on that drink offer. Are you buying?
DeleteI will buy if I can have the pleasure of your company!!!! Of course Brenda must join us too!!!!
DeleteLOL Jane, I shared this with Shameful Dependapix and they seem to like it.. one of their mods sent this message LOL
ReplyDeleteShameful Dependapix: Someone give that person a hug for me.....scratch that a big sloppy kiss with tongue ♠9 Romeo
Great post as always...
Thank you for the plug. Glad they are enjoying it.
DeleteJust plugged you on www.Facebook.com/dependapix. I'm glad you like the memes I made! Now you can tag us with hash tags on Facebook. Rapture :-D <3 Staci
DeleteThank you Staci. Not sure which one I used of yours but thank you for making a great one for me to use. Let me know what hashtag to use and I'll be more than happy to do so.
Delete1, 3, 4 and the last one are all in our albums. I made 3&4. I have no idea how has tags work. I was being facetious. I'm an old fart <3 Staci
DeleteAhh yes. Shall I tell you that your album rocks? Looks as if we have mutual appreciation for each others work. lol
DeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteI would love to speak with you privately. Could you please email me? Janelle@vitatransitusphotography.com
-Janelle
Janelle, email sent.
DeleteThere are five branches of the Armed forces.
ReplyDeleteJanga, you are very correct. I sometimes fail to think of the Coast Guard when I think of the Armed Forces - I tend to think of them more of homeland security but you are very correct, they are indeed a branch. No disrespect to any Coasties out there.
DeleteI did pose once, but it was for his eyes only...I am not the type to post half naked pics on FB. The girls (and guys) that do that or post a million selfies on FB daily (& yes I have friends that do it!) Need to find a new way to boost their esteem. I am the Mom that posts a milion pics of her kids, don't like it...defriend me. My kids r my life and I have enough confidence...I don't need to postpics of myself and see how many "likes" I can get :)
ReplyDeleteWhile on the topic of FB posts..people please stop posting about foods that will kill me. I get it, GMO's and pesticides and blah blah blah will kill me. My opinion...something will kill me eventually, death is a given in life, so leave me to eat my delicious processed food in peace....
Ok, done :)
I am actually guilty when it comes to wearing part of my hubby's uniform...only, at the time, I didn't know I wasn't supposed to. I was new to the whole life of being with a military man. Once I read that S/Os of military men weren't allowed or supposed to wear any parts of their uniforms, I automatically stopped doing it. I didn't want to disrespect my husband or any other service member. I absolutely love your blog!
ReplyDeleteWhat started as entertainment with my morning coffee has now become a place for people to become cyberbullies...let it go people, it's a blog...opinions, jokes, a place to bitch about being in the middle of nowhere..not your personal page to air your own drama past or present.
ReplyDeleteNow J.D....where do we go from here (bet u would like that glass of wine about now lol)
Now ladies how about them drinks! My treat! Lord knows i need some company lol We can't continue to bring drama we are better than this we will survive :) We just moved here last year and already feeling the downers. I am a positive person but you giys make it hard to keep a smile. I love this blog, gives me something to read with my coffee and puts a smile on my face.Tread on Jane Doe!
ReplyDeleteInteresting night for sure. I took the liberty of erasing a handful of comments. There's enough drama on this base to not have to bring personal arguments here. One of my rules I made was that nobody's name would be thrown around on this blog. It was also a stipulation made by the Air Force and I will uphold it. Whatever argument is going on between the three of you, it will not be played out here.
ReplyDeleteSince it has been made apparent that some people cannot play nicely and I make the rules, from here on out I will make it where comments must be moderated. I originally did not want to do this as I do not sit here and babysit but my hand is being forced. A few have ruined it for the rest.
That glass of wine sounds really great right now.
Just wanted to point out that you can buy uniforms pretty much anywhere these days, also your choice of civilian jobs blow. Firefighter and police officer wives do this as well. And I noticed you said on your Facebook page that you accept negative and positive comments, when you just contradicted yourself here and deleted comments you didn't like...I know you have that right, it's your damn blog, I just wanted to point that out.
ReplyDeleteSmall Fry - while I gladly accept both positive and negative comments regarding this blog, the comments removed were not related. They were instead a personal attack on one particular individual and were unrelated.
ReplyDeleteDarn just missed the drama that I soooo thrive on. ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I missed the drama. Lol.
