Good Afternoon ALL!!!!

I don't have a canteen list, so I replied to the header that Snow Bunny had addressed. If any could be so kind, could you FReepmail me the list for future posts?

I do want to give my heartfelt thanks to all the Military Spouses out there. All of you give 100% 24/7 in what is far rougher than the Serviceperson does (Yep! thats right).

Mrsgwmoore (Who will become the nose art on my 182, I hope, since she is somewhat reluctant to be portrayed as a Vargas Girl (BEG) I figure that I can convince her that a DollZ representation would not be so bad, and I can still use "Isabella Anne" in some decent script underneath), served valiantly, considering we were married in June of 1969, and was instantly introduced to military life, suddenly, not to mention my absence while on deployment to WESTPAC and Vietnam 6 months later. She certainly was "above and beyond". This June, we celebrate #33, so she did put up with me for that long, ;-) (Takes some doing).

Again, thanks to all the spouses, of both genders, who put up with the separation, regulations, privation, and the usual bizarre incomprehensible behavior of the "Mil-Spec Person" (ROTFL Thanks, AFVetGal for the list of said behaviors)..

Thanks for Keeping the Faith for Freedom !

Today, I will omit my usual closing rant ;-)

Greg

An excellent tribute to mrsgwmoore. Congrats on your upcoming 33rd next month. MrsDD suffered through two WESTPAC tours and one more prior to our marriage (37 next month also).

Salute to the two of you.

Ditto to what you said.

I was not a military wife, but I was a military daughter. My mom was a career Navy wife, moving from duty station to duty station for 20 years. It's not an easy life but, as you and your wife know, the military is a family and they support and take care of their own. I know that my mother would not have changed a minute of the 20 years "she" put into the Navy ...... isn't that right, Grammy Bear? :-)

Hi Greg, good to see you here. I wish I could take credit for the list of behaviors of the mil-spec person you enjoyed so much, but I didn't post it. I've seen some good lists on this thread from Bunny and SAMWolf, so it must've been one of their posts that you enjoyed. Take care, FRiend!
