Anyone in the military? Or is a veteran?

USMC vet

3 years in the Army, First Cavalry Division, First Team!!

MY Husband is deployed with the Navy right now.

Navy Veteran 4 years, Navy Wife 17 years and now a Navy Mom i guess you could say it's in our blood! Haze grey and underway!

So I guess wives/husbands of those in the military count as veterans now??? Hmm....learn something new everyday.



Marine Corps veteran...Semper Fi!

Can't speak for anyone else, but a resounding NO!
I'm a retired Army wife, but I didn't serve.
I DO want to thank all who did!

Bawhahahah!! We would have spouses come into the finance office and complain about their pay. You give them the WTF look and they say, well my husbands pay. Ummm.. err.. ok then.

BTW Haven't you seen the bumper stickers "Army Wife - The hardest job in the Army."
Before the spouses bash me, I was a Marine wife before I went Active Duty Army. I have been there. I just didn't act like I was owed anything for being a spouse.

Kind of agree, there's nothing wrong with being proud but arrogance is annoying. I am going to be a Navy Spouse and Active Duty. My fiance is going to be MA and once I am through RTC I am going in for CTR.

I'm trying to enlist in the Air Force but I need to loose 10 pounds before going to MEPS.

@LisaCFSF, thanks. I read your profile, sorry to hear about your shoulder. I've dislocated both shoulders, my left after a bad mountain bike crash which also broke my clavical, and my right, I've dislocated dozens of times since 1992 in a surfing mishap. Get into spin class or something in a group that is exciting and motivating. I do as much as I can with my shoulders the way they are, just dislocated my right again Sunday after a bike race, fatigued muscles after that ride allowed it to pop out reaching for something in my back seat. Sucks, but life goes on a recovery at a time. Good luck.

Thanks, I appreciate it! I CrossFit as my group activity. I defy odds and am back up to deadlifting 95# up to 45 reps; can hang briefly- full body wt from the bar, but no kipping or pull ups anytime soon; I do push ups off a ball, and inclined ring pull ups, reverse pushups, rowing, Turkish get ups with light weights, and 25#-45# overhead presses, 75# bench presses; everything else pretty much to RX. I've got a long way to go to get back to where I want to be and I realize it will never be the same; but I refuse to give in! I also bike, hunt, swim, shoot, fish, will water ski again this Summer, etc and plan on doing hand stands again someday! I'm sorry that you dislocate your shoulder often and recently sustained an injury. I'm hyper-mobile and frequently dislocate or sublax multiple joints, it's just the way I'm made-way too flexible. Good & bad, I generally don't have to ever worry about breaking anything! Lol!

Didn't mean to get off the subject of this thread! Take care and I hope you recover soon!
