The wife used to be a long time reservist and has since retired in order to be a full time mother to our 2 sons.Having a wife,who understands most of the commitments we have to make(work over family sometimes),long exercises and or deployments,and the eventual snap decisions we all have to make(Hey Hon,they put me on course starting tomorrow,gonna drive me to the airport?)really helps avoid alot of the disputes than can occur.
That,and the wife is brutally honest about my uniform and kit.Better than most CSM's I've run into!
CDNArtyWife:You would definitely get along with my wife,she's not the "stitch and *****" type either!
