Wife of Navy Pilot in Advanced

[CodWife]

See, I am old fashioned, that doesn't bother me in the least. I know my place, honey.

 

[MasterBates]

Yeah, I totally realized that I put wings on there. My hubby will kill me if he sees them. LOL! I feel like I earned them too.
No, I couldn't find an avatar of a Cod. So, what is next best???? WINGS

Time for me to be an a-hole again..

You did NOT earn wings. Wife's like you drive me nuts. Do you think you are a LTJG (or whatever) as well?

Go bake a fvcking cake. :icon_smil

 

[CodWife]

I LOVE it....I knew I would get a rise with that one! I HAD to bait ya! Sheesh, no I am NOT like that, but there must be with that response.

Whoa, whoa.... what she is saying is different than saying "I earned the wings" OR "we earned them together." She said she feels like she earned them, implicitly saying that she did not.

I have met wives, like you, who literally say things like, "We are a LT... We went through OCS... etc." This is different.

I don't even know what I would say to "We are a LT..." That's a special kind of f'd up

Just like a guy saying, "We're pregnant", right?

 

[MasterBates]

Never heard a MAN say "We're Preggers". Heard women say it though.

 

[llnick2001]

Yeah same here MB. I'm sure some guys say it. I'm sure I don't like them.

It's a slight paraphrase, but here is the story...


He (the real LT) had come the squadron about the time the XO became CO. At that particular CO's departing COC, the CO named a few people in his remarks, thanking them etc. By mistake, the CO called the guy LTJG.

Later that night at the new CO's COC party I overheard the JO's wife say, in an exasperated tone, "He said LTJG, when are we going to a LT?" I was just stunned.

 

[llnick2001]

Yeah that's kind of amazing but I'm not totally surprised at the same time.

 

[llnick2001]

Also (about the preggers thing), a chick can't get pregnant without a man's help (in some form) but a guy (or girl for that matter) can earn wings all by their lonesome. I'm not excusing guys that say it. They still shouldn't, but they are slightly more justified.

In her defense.........she was probably speaking to OTHER wives and she was probably EXCITED about the $800 pay raise, now come on!

 

[MasterBates]

And probably had $1200 of that $800 raise already spent.

You're catching on. LOL! :icon_tong We ARE all guilty of that one.

 

[MasterBates]

I caught on years ago. Why do you think I am divorced now? :icon_smil
