Army Wives

By Andi Again, thanks to Pendleton and surrounding-area spouses for sharing your day with us yesterday. We had a blast! We had a great time at Camp Pendleton this weekend. For my fellow Army Wives, I was struck by how massive the base is. I called my husband when I arrived and said, "Camp Pendleton is li...

By Andi It's an unscientific poll, of course, but I've found that my milspouse friends read far more frequently than my civilian friends. Army Wives: The Unwritten Code of Military Marriage by Tanya Biank (The television show Army Wives is based on this book)

By Andi From Lifetime, Army Wives take a look at a real Homecoming: Season Two of Army Wives had just begun when my husband and I started our PCS move. I was only able to watch a couple of episodes before we left on our journey across the country. There was no way...

By Sarah Oh, and the one thing that bugged me about the episode?  When Pamela tells the MPs she lives in apartment "B as in boy."  Um, nah.  That's "bravo," Lifetime. Your thoughts? This week's Army Wives was about communication. Or the lack thereof.

By Sarah I think it's hard for these guys to truly see themselves as heroes.  But that's what makes it true.  I am really glad that they portrayed Trevor this way.  And maybe people who watch Army Wives will understand a little better the next time they thank a soldier or call him a hero and he starts to shi...

By airforcewife Denise seems to be in for some trouble, too;  trouble she caused herself.  I don't really like the whole motorcycle storyline, although some of it is very valuable, because of the tremendous emphasis being placed on "officer's wives don't do that." 

By SemperFi Wife Trevor getting wounded was an interesting story and it looks like it will carry over for several episodes. So be it.  It looks like it won't be pretty, clean, neat or clear cut but this military life isn't either.  Reintegration is not quick and being wounded and trying to reintegrate shouldn...

By Andi One thing I thought was particularly well done was the Roxy/Trevor storyline. When we first see Trevor, he is in Iraq and he's struggling to adapt to the loneliness, the heat, the mail blackout and watching fellow soldiers die, ...
