You Know You're A Military Spouse When...

I am borrowing this from another blog (www.ridingtherollercoaster.com) and adding some of my own too! 

Top 10 You Know You're a Mil Spouse When...

10)  You can have a conversation in acronyms.

 9)  You've lived in so many different houses that sometimes it takes a minute for you to remember what your current address is

8)  You're always in possession of an updated power of attorney.

7)  You tear up at the sound of anything patriotic, including but not limited to the National Anthem and Proud to be an American

6)  You spend more time apart from your spouse than together.

5)  Your children were born in different states (or continents).

4)  You can recite your spouse's SSN in your sleep, but you pause when asked for your own.

3)  You rarely celebrate holidays and special occasions on the actual dates those holidays and special occasions fall on.

2)  You only use pencil on a calendar because plans are always changing.

1)  You expect the unexpected.  And somehow that's ok with you.

Mine that I am adding:

- You remember dates and events by deployments and/or places you've been stationed

- You do not go to the commissary on payday unless you absolutely have to!

- You only know his co-workers by their last name and you are clueless when they use someone's first name!

- You count the days until they get home by X days...and a wake up!

-  When after about 3 years you are itching to move somewhere new.

- Hurry up and wait! Need I say more?

Feel free to add more! :)
