He was promoted to "Major" on Friday and I am very proud of him. He's been all sad about signing up for another commission, but I'm, hoping this promotion will soften the blow. I'm sorry if this doesn't belong in here, but this is where I most often post and it IS about my husband!:P

So anyone else have any good news about their partner?

hehe congrats to him, xiao!

In the world of promotions I hope this means he gets paid more for doing less.

So I hope this means you get to spend more time with him.

Hot Damn!!!

Congrats to all!

Tell us what present he'll be getting for his promotion, and it'll be a sexual topic.

^^^Do you ever sleep?

Ya know, I wonder that myself sometimes...

There was this really nice woman that said she'd make me fall asleep, though, but then she fell asleep. So sad, so very sad...

Oh look, MORE COFFEE!!: :

Congrats

And tonight he gets EAS as a reward?

That was MY thinking. Or heck, maybe just left hiiiiim finger it.... Thatttttt'll make him REALLLLL randy.

Sounds like someone needs to stand extra sharp at attention now.

You should totally let him play with your ass!!

It will make him all the more eager for EAS though.. so be careful!

Congratulations to the both of you, I hope things are going well in general.

As for me, I have no boyfriend now and am in a lesbian mood and not getting any sex, but it's probably my fault I'm in this situation. So, no good news on the relationship front for Flock.

As the Major's wife, do you have to attend any millitary functions etc?

My daddy is studying extremely hard for SMsgt. He missed it by 6 points last time. He's sure he'll pass this time, which also means he'll retire.

Heh, no that's when he actually signs the contract for the new commission, which doesn't happen until January 15th.

And yes he does enjoy a signifigant pay raise, so I'm looking foward to seeing that as well!:P

And I always have to go to military functions with him. There are only like 3 officers in every squadron, so all of them have to go to every air force event, which means their wives have to go too.

My mother is a cop out.. She cannot stand all of the officer's wives. My daddy is a First Shirt, so he has to sit with the Commander.. My mom hates it. She started sending me with him. Then I began to loathe them.. Eventually I'm sure he'll end up going by himself.

He is the very model of a modern Major, General.

Xiao, does this mean you have to dress up as a 'trophy wife' ?!

G&S FTW!!!

When the Coaster's finished jumping on his mother....

Congwatulations!

Does this mean anything diff in your day to day? Like new quarters or moving to a new posting?

Wherever you go...there you are?

The weather/traffic/people can vary some...

i think it lifted my day a little bit to hear someone else's good news.

^Why the fuck would good news for someone else make you feel better?

Someone somewhere just won the lottery, you feel fucking jolly now!?!? HUH BITCH!?!

More money, sure.

Headaches too, no doubt.

Is it the 'Peter Principle' where folks end up getting promoted farther than they really want? Just because...?

yeah, i'm human. happy emotions are contagious to me, especially from people whom i look fondly upon. jealous much?

I believe ol' CarbB gets off when he hears that someone he is fond of has been buggered? He can then think how he wishes it were him?

Congrats you =) And congrats to your husband =D

Partner...a strong word...perhaps not fitting at all...yet she is doing well in school.

Yay for pride in the accomplishments of others to which you've been no real help.

Edit: Congratulations to your husband, has it changed his outlook towards staying in "the service"?

Fond of? I wish I could be promoted to Major? Uh.....I wish I was happy when others were happy? Uh.........

Stop playing the guessing game, you are creeping into negative points. That is when we execute you.

my girlfriend is getting promoted to sergeant, but she just left for training to go to iraq saturday

Is Carbons Assholism contaigious or something? Because you're being a real prick recently.



Unless you know xiao in real life, you have no fucking IDEA what she might have done to help and support her husband. From the sounds of it Xiao worships that fucker far more than he deserves. Shit, I'd consider becoming a lesbian if it meant I'd have a good loyal wife like Xiao to support me and love me.

Yoyo, I think perhaps you are being a little unfair to Euda. I'm pretty sure his comment was directed more towards himself/his girlfriend's attainment than towards Xiao.

Euda is I'm sure aware that for any husband to be successful, in almost any career, he needs a loyal and supportive wife.

Like they say...

I was talking about myself, not others. The girl I know is smart to the point where anything I can offer is a drop in the ocean.

Edit: If you take notice, Xiao wasn't even thought of until I edited it. If anything, you can fault me for being egomaniacally happy in this thread.

Lol what an idiot. He wasn't even fucking referring to Xiao, he was talking about himself. How fucking dense are you?

I swear, maybe you should become a lesbian, because I don't think any man on the planet would be able to put up with your stupid shit. Just fucking kill yourself already, and save me a fucking plane trip.

right around the time that my ex started talking to me for the first time in a year

Congrats to you and your husband.

Does it really offend you THAT much that she's happy for somebody? That's really sad.

CarbonB ftw

On a somewhat related note...

... I was meritoriously promoted to 3rd class petty officer....

None of the other wives like me...Of course, they're all a lot older than me, so they might just be aloof for that reason? They all dress like old school marms, BTW.

That's nice. Congrats.

Nah.. your get paid very decently actually. Not a huge ton but definitely decently.

It's true military people aren't making the big bucks, but they make enough. Like my husband will make about $5300 per MONTH, which is a $300 per month pay raise, so I'm pretty happy.:P

Enlisted guys make a lot less, though, unfortunately.

That is VERY well off. Nice.

I'm so exstatic that you decided to let us in on that information. Let me just go give all my wordly values to charity so someone else can be happy, like I am happy right now.

Do i detect just a hint, the merest hint, of sarcasm there?

Everyone listen to me:

We must spread the love in the world! We can't continue with our lives acting as we do and expect to be happy. Happiness (for us humans) comes from the happiness that radiates from each of us.

Grief is a cycle. Happiness is.. something harder to start, but easier to find comfort in.

Gee, for a thread about something good, there's quite a lot of bitterness isn't there?

Xiao, I've been out of town for two weeks, this is great news, yes it does belong in S & A (affection).

You husband has obviously excelled in his career, you should be proud as hell.

As for Major..aren't you Canadian? So thats like LT in Amerika?

Eh.

Major is O-4, same thing as Lieutenant Commander in the Navy. Who knows what Canada is, we're talking US forces.

I remember when I was an E-5, I was taking home almost $3000/month. That wasn't too bad, actually. The command I was in was absolutely worthless though, that made life suck.
