And Once I get stuff put together I will send stuff your way as examples!<br /><br />Lydia, THANK YOU for stepping up as a leader! You have a WONDERFUL heart and attitude!

I know it was a leadership position on a much smaller scale, but I wanted to be of a help somehow. It wasn't too long before the wives were texting me with questions and what-not.<br /><br />He's on the verge of moving up in leadership, and I look forward to seeing how I can be an encouragement to these wives. I'm really excited about it!Lydia @ This Marine Wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09633818721659786681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8484957168950195936.post-75904158730542800442012-01-11T11:20:09.320-06:002012-01-11T11:20:09.320-06:00Have I mentioned I on't understand Amercians a...Have I mentioned I on't understand Amercians and (I'm assuming your talking about football).....<br />I mean, we have hockey here. Well, and football, but HOCKEY. And people care. A LOT. But I swear every blog I read, written by women, is about American football. I don't think we care about our sports as much. Our Canadian football league has the same attendance as, say, your (Small) Highschool league. And while we pack out our hockey games, I can't say as I've read a single blog about it. Ever. It's totally different. (Not in a bad way, just a way I am a little lost at :)<br />A N Y Ways......<br />Did I mention I also don't do limes or tequila anymore either?<br />I digress.<br />I don't know what your hubby does, or what the equivilant would be here, but mine is equivilant to, say, your Staff Sgt. Kinda. <br />We don't do family support or FRG's like you guys. I'm working to promote change. I make cold calls and random facebook connections. Sometimes I am shunned out. Sometimes I'm ignored. And sometimes, a girlfriend or fiance or wife of 10 years hugs me because no one's ever reached out before. Ever.<br />And I do it not because I am naturally stalkerish (though that helps) because I distinctly remember what it was like to be a 20 year old Private's wife, pregnant and alone with no one to teach me how it worked or support me along the first deployment that year.<br />Bless you for what you do. It always means something to someone.<br /><br />Sigh. I shoulda just wrote a post in response. One day, I am going to send you an email and see if you'll break down for me how your family support works so I can learn.Reccewifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05248121864702720595noreply@blogger.com
