Five years of blood, sweat, and tears spent out in the fleet and I can't wait to get back.

Maybe I should have phrased that differently.. "Have you been in the fleet as an aviator and/or Officer" would have been better.
The point I was trying to make, is when I have guys who have families tell me "you don't know how it is", I take issue. One, I used to have a family. Two, I do know how it is. When you have to go to Billies dance recital or Susies football game, don't worry, us single guys "with no life outside of work" will cover for you. When we all come back from deployment, we will be standing watch instead of enjoying our first night back in the states.
Don't worry, even though we can't possibly know how hard your life is.

Hey how'd you know my kids' names? 
Masterbates,
Believe me, I in no way meant to offend you so much. I can assure you that I will not be wearing my husband's rank--ever! However, when HE selects something, it affects me. I have to move with him, find a new job, make new friends, and set up house there. I recognize that he is the one that selects, earns his wings, and deploys. However, don't be so jaded to think that we don't in some way work alongside our husbands. I certainly didn't personally attack you with my question, so you must have some issues since you felt the need to attack me on a thread that you had no business reading or commenting on since you were no help whatsoever.
I will keep in mind that there are guys out there who are highly offended when I use the term, we, but until they somehow come up with a way that my husband's career path doesn't affect me, I'll continue to use the term. "We" are moving to Kingsville. "We" will have to make new friends. "We" are going to have to find housing. I'm sorry that I "rubbed you the wrong way" but you aren't a ray of sunshine either. In fact, you aren't very nice at all. Feel free to ignore my questions on these forums from now on.

The we's you used in the above post's second paragraph are correct.
It may be a small thing that sets me off, but it has been a common thing for spouses to say. And I'm not the only guy it annoys (married guys are annoyed by it too!). If your husband was a civilian and took a job with Pratt & Whitney would you claim "we are going to be test engineers" unless you BOTH were hired by P&W for that job?
If you think me sarcastically going "we?" is an attack, you best stay off the main forums.
"Tread lightly. For dragons exist, and you are crunchy and taste good with catsup."
