Today I found out that a wife called the batallion because they were still at work sitting on their butts literally doing nothing at 6 o'clock. Since they deploy in two weeks, these men need to be home with their families, not sitting around waiting for whatever time they feel like letting them off. What offended me was hearing what they said when they got yelled at by the batallion commander. He screamed at the company commander and so they told them to learn to "control their wives" better. I have a half of a mind to call batallion because that is the most offensive statement I have ever heard. I guess they still think it's 1950 and men are on top and women are crap. I have not gone through hell to get the education and career I have to be told that I need to be controlled by a man. That just makes me mad. I wasn't the wife who called, I mean there are 100 or so other wives in that unit. But just to think that they had the nerve to say something like that just really upsets me.
On other news, my classroom is just about ready. The kids start on Wednesday and I am super excited. I am not however, looking forward to my husband deploying soon. But we will survive and be stronger after we readjust again.
