what's the deal? are there no marine wives here other than me? :confused

somebody fess up here! :pout

I believe you are one of the first. We just did the switch from navysos to militarysos so it'll be a lil bit before there are more Marine SOs

well that makes sense. :)

There are several on here, just none that have posted yet, I think. Congrats on the bun in the oven!!

thanks :D

Hey would've not it be great to be able to say in a couple of years "yes, I was the first Marine wife posting here" :D

Hello marine wife here just joined so hello all. Im out of camp pendelton Ca anyone else?

There are several on here, just none that have posted yet, I think. Congrats on the bun in the oven!!


I love that pic of your baby!

Camp Pendleton here, too.

aha more marine wives then? we transferred out of pendleton last year to come here to port hueneme (naval base). we're about 2 hours north of pendleton, depending on traffic. i miss good ol' camp p. :( but, i don't miss the fleet.

hello to you ladies

I'm a MC Fiancee, gonna be a wife on thanksgiving.:blush

congratulations alanamarie! :five :yeehaw

my BIL is a marine ;)

welcome!

Marine wife here! Stationed in Corpus Christi, while hubby goes through Primary for flight school! How do you get the Marine Corps under your name?

hi kate! :) let me see if i can remember how i did it. i got jealous of all the girls advertising their navy connection so i had to figure it out for myself LOL.

okay, try this link: http://forum.militarysos.com/profile.php?do=editusergroups and then select Marine Corps. if it doesn't work, go to your control panel and then go to edit user groups and select Marine Corps. :)

how is Corpus Christi? do you like it there?

I like it better than Pensacola. Of course, that could be because I finally have a two bedroom apartment! I love having a spare room to stick all of hubby's military junk in! What does your husband do?

Woohoo! I got it to work! Thanks!

awesome! now we're matching. hahaha

my hubby is an 0351 - infantry assaultman.. he was stationed in camp pendleton for a long time but we recently transferred here. he's now on an I-I staff, so he organizes and plans the training for the reservists as part of a 12-guy active staff.

i like it here alright but i miss camp pendleton because.. well, i don't have any really good reasons. i think i just miss being on the "big" base. and the fact that this is a navy base wouldn't bother me but they seem to do so many things differently. i can't complain too much, though. it was either this duty station or a third deployment to iraq. which i was not down with.

what does your hubby do? we have the extra room for DH's junk, too. but he's going to have to reorganize that because we have a baby on the way now! :D

Congrats on the baby! My husband is in training to be a pilot. He is a Student Naval Avatior in Primary. We have 6 months here for that, then it depends on what he flies for where we go next for his Advanced training. After that, he gets his wings! I can't wait for all his training to be done, cause then I will actually get to see him!

Im a Marine Wife also. Mine is no longer active duty, he is IRR.

i know what you mean about not being able to see them until after training! psh.. and thanks! we're both very excited about the baby. :)

MW5M, what is your DH doing now? did he get a civi job?

Yep, he has actually been out for 3 yrs now. He was running a DM position for an Exxon company. They filed bankruptcy this past year though, and he has moved on to another company that actually has much better benefits. Got to make the benefits of a civilian job work for you thats for sure!

He just reupped his IRR this past year for another 4. He really would like to go back to active duty. Right now he is rated as 80% disabled though. He broke his back in mid 2001, and has had 3 surgeries so far. My theory is if his back hasnt gotten any better in the past 4 yrs, its not going to get better.

aww what a bummer. i always feel bad when guys get out and decide later on that they want to get back in only to find that they can't, for whatever reason. my friend's husband got out of the army for his ex-wife's sake and decided after the divorcet that he wanted to go back but he was too far out of shape to even attempt.

but that's good that you guys are in a position now with good benefits. i know my DH isn't planning on reenlisting, and it terrifies me to think of medical benefits outside of the military and our comfy little tricare bubble. eee! not to mention he is EASing in about 3 years and we have no idea where we are going to move to when he does. scary stuff.

anyways that's really too bad about your DH's back. i know it's not likely by now but i still wish you both the best of luck with it. :)

what part of Kentucky are you in? i have a friend that lives near Louisville. he keeps trying to sucker me into visiting him. psssh like i have money to spare for a plane ticket! :P

i kinda fit in both with the marine category and the navy. my bf is in the navy reserves, but he is going to be a fleet marine force corpsman..so im a little bit of a navy/marine gf. :) mostly navy but hey.

We are in south western ky. Maybe 100 miles from Louisville. Plane tickets are pretty cheap right now!

hi button! corpsmen are great as far as i'm concerned. :) the ones my DH has worked with (mostly when he was in the fleet) fight like Marines and are in general just really awesome. i have such respect for corpsmen and for chaplains, especially the ones with the FMF.

psssh plane tickets may be cheap but not cheap enough as far as i'm concerned! lol i need a new washer and dryer, not to mention i have a baby coming in like 5 months who will need lots of things. hahaha. my friend can wait. maybe you can go visit him for me? lol

You bun is due on George's first birthday :) Great date to be born if you ask me!

awww... patriotic babies. so cute! ^_^ george is absolutely beautiful! he has the prettiest eyes. what a doll. :)

i can't wait for july!

Thanks! We think he is a doll, but family is always considered a wee bit prejudiced when it comes to their own! LOL

He was due in June, was I think 8 or 9 days late.

aww prejudiced... pssh. that's bunk. everyone knows a doll when they see one! and you get to live with one! :) i just can't wait to see my little baby! July seems so far away.

Just around the corner! Do you know what you are having yet? I have some adorable baby boy 4th of july outfits if you have a boy.

awwww i would have LOVED some cute little outfits! but we just recently found out it's a girl!

congrats i see you're pregnant too! when are you due?

Oct 17th :)

congratulations! are you hoping for a girl or a boy?

gosh i can't get over how stinkin cute George is!!
