View Full Version : Am I just blind? Or is this really true?
Becca 06-21-2008, 03:23 PM Ok seriously. I was taking to an army wife today (not affiliated with the boards). She said "Army wives we're all bitches, we're just mean. Coastie wives are wierdos, Air Force wives are snobs, and Navy wives are some of the nicest people I've ever met."
I never knew that each branch had their stereotypes like that - so I was seriously curious if I just missed something or if that's really how it is? Stereotypically I mean.
wcchick712 06-21-2008, 03:24 PM Thank god marine wives aren't up there :D
Jennifer 06-21-2008, 03:25 PM not that I have seen, lol. there are snobs, bitches, weirdos, etc in all branches
truzbabygirl 06-21-2008, 03:25 PM :sigh I've heard that somewhere too
=Mrs.AiNokeA= 06-21-2008, 03:25 PM Wow ok that's not right... one of my sisters friends who is also my friend is an army wife and she is really sweet.
not that I have seen, lol. there are snobs, bitches, weirdos, etc in all branches
Exactly!
Becca 06-21-2008, 03:26 PM Thank god marine wives aren't up there :D
I know, right? :dunno
BrittanyJo 06-21-2008, 03:26 PM I think that is a gross generalization of wives in every branch. There are all of those things within every branch. People are bitches, weirdos and nice. I hold no expectations for any SO from any branch. I don't have the time to formulate stereotypes!
browneyedbeauty 06-21-2008, 03:26 PM yes those are the stereotypes. They match up with the stereotypes about the services.
BrittanyJo 06-21-2008, 03:27 PM needless to say, I'm an army wife and I am a huggggge bitch. :D
andreacc 06-21-2008, 03:27 PM Thank god marine wives aren't up there :D
Ya im glad too.
My grandma was an army wife back in WW2. She wasn't bitchy.
An im kinda a "weirdo"...
square bear 06-21-2008, 03:27 PM As long as the NAVY wives are the nice ones :D
Just kidding. I think that's weird, I've never noticed a trend like that really.
Anytime you have a bunch of women in groups there's going to be nice ones and duds.
carmel11725 06-21-2008, 03:32 PM Thank god marine wives aren't up there :D
seriously! lol
i wonder why we werent included:dunno
not that I have seen, lol. there are snobs, bitches, weirdos, etc in all branches
sooo true!
navywifeplus3 06-21-2008, 03:34 PM There are stereotypes that are often attached to military spouses period. I know some wives refuse to socialize outside their branch and furthermore outside their S/O rank. Those same women tend to attach stereotypes to the various branches spouses. I've heard people make a variety of stereotypical comments about the branches, just depends on who you talk to I guess.
wcchick712 06-21-2008, 03:36 PM Yeah you cant categorize by BRANCH of military, all wives are different.
I've heard of plenty of PSYCHO marine wives!

I thought us navy wives were supposed to be lazy slobs who never bother to get dressed before leaving home! You mean I'm supposed to be nice! :P
JoRose83 06-21-2008, 03:36 PM This cant be true!!!!
I am a total wierdo, and my DH is in the army!!! Maybe he joine the wrong service to fit his wife!!!! HEHEHE
navywifeplus3 06-21-2008, 03:38 PM Yeah you cant categorize by BRANCH of military, all wives are different.
I've heard of plenty of PSYCHO marine wives!
I've encountered a few psycho navy wives, let me tell ya! Crazy people do not discriminate as to which branch they marry into that's for sure.
PeppermintRei 06-21-2008, 03:40 PM needless to say, I'm an army wife and I am a huggggge bitch. :D
Me to! :woot
:lol
Stereotypes will abound everywhere. All the types exist in each service branch. :shrug
Fidzy 06-21-2008, 03:41 PM Never heard that one, glad to know I'm stereotyped as a bitch though.
Polkadot 06-21-2008, 03:52 PM Nope have not heard that one ! that is crazy !
USCGBoxerMom 06-21-2008, 03:56 PM WOW that is a first...never knew I was a weirdo just because I am married to a Coastie.
Gillian_Angela 06-21-2008, 03:59 PM Ok seriously. I was taking to an army wife today (not affiliated with the boards). She said "Army wives we're all bitches, we're just mean. Coastie wives are wierdos, Air Force wives are snobs, and Navy wives are some of the nicest people I've ever met."

I think you get that in every branch. There are nice women in EVERY branch. I don't think i'm a biotch :(.
I mean I can be, but overall I try to be nice :D
little.lili 06-21-2008, 03:59 PM :hystericlaugh
I'm sorry but that was funny!!!
WGs_Grrl 06-21-2008, 04:00 PM Where did she hear/get this dumb a$$ info? :no
crumper07 06-21-2008, 04:01 PM I'm navy...all the wives seem to be pretty nice.
My mom was an airforce wife and so was my aunt and they were anything but snobby.
whoever came up with that has too much time on their hands :P
kittieb 06-21-2008, 04:02 PM not that I have seen, lol. there are snobs, bitches, weirdos, etc in all branches
:yes
Dragonfly76 06-21-2008, 05:01 PM I hadn't heard that before. :shrug
ftgordongirl 06-21-2008, 05:07 PM haha you are your own person and have your own personality. i havent changed nor will i. i think im pretty down to earth,..btw im army haha
JKirstiH 06-21-2008, 08:23 PM I have met nice and crappy in every branch. I had never heard that though:dunno
Becca 06-21-2008, 08:25 PM Obviously we all know it's not true :rofl My issue was just that I hadn't heard any stereotypes like that (ever) so I wasn't sure where it was coming from, or if I was just completely oblivious to it all this time...
ali1005 06-21-2008, 08:25 PM weird! i've never heard any of those :dunno
kiwijus 06-21-2008, 08:26 PM Well, I'm looking down on all of you pansies, bitches, and freaks from my 24 karat gold-plated podium, so I don't know what the hell you're talking about!
:lmao
kiwijus 06-21-2008, 08:28 PM Obviously we all know it's not true :rofl My issue was just that I hadn't heard any stereotypes like that (ever) so I wasn't sure where it was coming from, or if I was just completely oblivious to it all this time...
I've heard stereotypes about the branches, like Marines are more "Brotherly" and Airmen are more "Business-like", but the only things about the wives that I've heard is that officer's wives were snobs, which, for the record, I think is bullshit, for the most part, and I think any woman who rubs your nose in her husband's rank is a snob.
JudyB 06-21-2008, 08:29 PM Hmmmm...never heard that one before :dunno
Learn something new everyday about the people you meet though....being in how some will generalize in so many different ways
goodiegurl18 06-21-2008, 08:38 PM haha thats funny. im not a wife but a navy girlfriend and pretty sure i can be a real bitch, its kina one of my nicknames
charm586 06-21-2008, 08:44 PM thats weird i've never heard that before.. but ppl do tell me after they get to know me that they thought i was a snob when we first met because i'm shy with new people.. but i've gotten that since high school way before i was an air force wife!!
SemperFiWife 06-21-2008, 11:05 PM Please tell us what us Marine Wifes are then...oh wait there are so few, the proud.....I bet we don't have a sterotype hehe!...Okay...I guess we are PROUD!
shellbellwillis 06-21-2008, 11:06 PM As long as the NAVY wives are the nice ones :D
Just kidding. I think that's weird, I've never noticed a trend like that really.

I've met some bitchy navy wives... But that is just like sterotyping the branches ie:Air Force=Lazy. which is not true, but you will always have sterotypes.
Miss Carly80 06-21-2008, 11:07 PM My cousin was a navy wife.....she cheated on her husband
Wasn't so nice, was it?
Sarah 06-21-2008, 11:43 PM I think what that Army wife said is a little true for all the branches.
You have your weirdos, nice ones, snobby ones and even bitches in every branch :lol
