Encouraged by your love for these special soldiers. Thank you.
My Sister was married to a Naval Aviator. Still is for that matter, just about 61 years, now.
She got some really great recipes from other wives at the Officers Wives Club. I mean some great ones. She doesn’t do it often but when she really wants to she can turn out absolutely great meals.
I have always felt that men who command must maintain a certain relationship with those below them, respectful, overly courteous, even friendly, but there has to be a distance, both with junior officers and enlisted.
Just how I see it.
However, I see no such limitation on wives, and would definitely see that type of distancing as snobbish (though I readily admit I had no direct exposure to this either as a dependent or active duty...the structure was a bit different)
Just my opinion.
I enjoy your posts on these things, keep them coming.
The services would be well-served if we had more women like you in roles of leadership.
Well said Mrs. Warrior. And your postings here will make a good auto-biography for your children and grandchildren.

I believe most of your account is fiction and you are displaying the same kind of self importance you put on that colonel’s wife.
You criticize others for wearing their husband’s rank but you did the same thing in your inappropriate and unauthorized counsel of someone under your husband’s supervision.
You need a mirror.
