Is that why I never noticed it?Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09239497370370468057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1930179954708464742.post-43063226626428070522008-12-19T14:26:00.000-05:002008-12-19T14:26:00.000-05:00ah this sounds so familiar.

One of my dearest friends is a Colonels wife, granted her husband is army and mine marine corps and we are friends through our past work not theres, but if an O6 (i think) wife can treat me as an equal why cant a CW1's? Thats always made me wonder.The Mrs.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05390271129994451360noreply@blogger.com
